  1. One of the comments: "Trek reinvented the Garmin Varia several years later. Now add an HD camera that records when it is triggered."
  2. Ever since I had a battery failure on the 2017 Trans Baviaans the topic of bicycle lights started to interest me. An electrical engineer by trade - I figured that this cannot be as complicated and expensive as the market seems to suggest. Over the last 4 years (on and off) I have tested the good, the cheap and the ugly when it comes to batteries for endurance riding. My findings have led me to build my own prototype and yesterday I finally came to testing it with known parameters. For the first test, I have used the Extreme Lights Endurance light which seems to be most used light for the rides that I have mentioned above. My test setup includes a GoPro with sequence shooting at 60 second intervals within clear view of my G-Shock which was used for timing. Extreme Lights claim 40+ hours' run time at the 200 Lumen setting when used with their 5200mAh battery - I am using the same Lumen setting but my battery is designed to produce 6800mAh at the same voltage. My test is 24 hours in and things are looking good thus far - I will keep posting on this thread for anyone that is interested. After the test is completed I will share some findings which may or may not be informative/trivial.
  3. I was recently in the market for a budget front light for my MTB. I stumbled across the Surge Firefly 1200 online. It arrived promptly from Takealot. And at R550 for a rechargeable light it certainly met the (budget) criteria. Given the price and manufactured origin of the light I wasn't expecting much. However I must say it had surprised me and turned out to be quite a Lekka little light. The beam on bright is in fact very bright! It does have a slightly hot spot in the middle of the beam but it does still cast enough light around the edges that I can easily see a low branch or obstruction to the side. On maximum brightness it seems to last about four hours, this is not as much as they claim but that's normal manufacturer optimism I reckon. Overall I'm very happy with it so far. And hell, for the price you can't really go wrong. Cheers
  4. I'm a new cyclist, does anyone have suggestions on lights for my mountain bike. I want to do the Trans Baviaans.

    Lumos Ultra

    I've been using a Lumos Helmetfor the over 4 years and can really recommend it. It's a innovative helmet with built in LED lighting including indicators! Check out their latest helmet, the Lumos Ultra, on Kickstarter.
  6. It's been a dry winter in the Cape, making it all that much easier to leave the house to stretch the legs in the dark. This winter I've had the XP3 and XP7 to keep me company. Click here to view the article
  7. Cycle Factory Shop is excited to announce the launch of the new and improved Fly6 tail-light / HD camera combo. Click here to view the article
  8. Although the days are getting longer with summer approaching, riding in the dark is still something many of us will do. Whether it's pre-dawn training or a “just-because-you-can” night ride you'll want a dependable and effective light. Click here to view the article
  9. Winter is fast approaching and as a cyclist the time before and after work is shrinking. A good cyclist knows that the pain of getting off the saddle is worst than staying on. There is no other option other than getting equipment that would allow you to safely extend your ride time in to the twilight zone and beyond. Welcome to the exciting world of night cycling. http://www.extremelights.co.za/wp-content/uploads/sites/66/2014/02/MTB-Bicycle-Night-Light-1024x404.jpg The following article explains more about the different technologies that addresses the requirements for various cycling stiles. Read the full article: "Best Bicycle Light- Which LED and Which battery? LED’s and Battery technology have improved dramatically over the last few years. Notably the most has been the battery technology. Even though it is very hard to see from casual inspection which is a good or bad battery pack. It is worth investing in quality. A good battery pack can dramatically extend the runtime and life time of the light. It can also reduce the overall weight and improve the reliability. The cyclist needs to decide which type of cycling they do most and buy equipment that is best suited to address their needs. This article hopes to provide more information to allow you to make an informed choice.
  10. Has anyone had any experience with Exposure lights? I'm considering buying either the Reflex or Maxx-d but just want to make sure they are worth the extra cost!
  11. Extreme Lights is amped for the Argus Cycletour Expo, running Thursday through Saterday in the Cape Goodhope Centre. We'll have a couple of products there and will be running a number of Expo only sales. Come find us at Stall M57, close to the exit, and see what is up for grabs! http://extremelights.co.za/extreme-lights-cape-argus-cycle-expo-2014/
  12. Original post here http://extremelights.co.za/wp-content/uploads/sites/66/2014/03/godzone-merrell-alpha-pack-main-1-3.jpg Extreme Lights has provided the mountain biking lighting gear for Team Merrell Alpha Pack. The Alpha pack is competing at the AR World Series GODZone Adventure Race in the South Island of New Zealand. The Extreme 1400k can produce +1000Lumen for over 10h when powered with our 6 cell Panasonic battery pack. Making them ideal for the GODZone Adventure Race. Orion Health GODZone, presented by 100% PURE Racing, is a multi-day, non-stop, expedition-style adventure race held annually in the South Island of New Zealand. The course remains a secret until the route is revealed just before the event starts. GODZone always uses the ‘journey concept’ where teams will be expected to traverse some of New Zealand’s most stunning landscapes with a logical pathway from start to finish. Adventure, excitement, highs, lows and lots of interesting team dynamics as the racers travel across the challenging terrain of the upper South Island. The leading teams will complete the journey in around 4 days with perhaps only 1-2hrs sleep in the entire duration. Teams at the back of the field will have up to 7 days to complete their journey but the accumulated lack of sleep and time in the wild will catch up with them eventually, we’re certain of that. We wish the Merrel Alpha pack the best of luck for the rest of the race. They started on Saturday and are making good progress.
