headhunter2000 Posted April 23, 2012 Share What do you guys think of the Led Lenser H14R as a headlight for night riding? I think the Magic shine products is more value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say my Experience with LED, BLACK DIAMOND, CATEYE, the H14R with 220 Lumen has a good battery life between recharges, had it run for 9Hours.

HaydenE Posted April 23, 2012 Share I recon it's a good helmet light, but depending on your requirements and if you ride more technical stuff, best invest in something more substantial such as the Magic Shine lights to add to your armory, so in short, a good light fixed to your helmet as well as one on your bars should do the trick...

I've only ridden on roads so far, but the combination works well. Off road, if I had to choose one, it would be the MagicShine because it really lights up the whole area - but then it is more than twice the price.

leeu52 Posted April 23, 2012 Share I use H14R on my helmet with the battery box in my belt and a Magic Shine on the handle bar. The H14R beam strength is more than enough for me and the fact that I can use 4 rechargable penlight batteries in it makes the battery life as long as I want it to be. The Magic Shine is even brighter but the sealed battery unit makes carrying an extra battery more complicated/expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerr Posted April 25, 2012 Share Use LED Lenser P7 on my roadie. Can't speak to battery life yet as still on first set, but love the brightness for road use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ysterperd Posted April 25, 2012 Share Use both lenser and magiclight myself, although either one would suffice by themselves. Had my wife sew me a piece of elastic with some velcro which i use to tie lenser to helmet as i found that their headmount to be to cumbersome for easy helmet use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted April 25, 2012 Share I like it on my head to light where I'm looking but still feel the need for a bike mounted light as well with more spread that cover the front of the bike. For trailrunning it is also great but again I like to mount a light on my pack/waist to help with preventing tunnel vision and increase depth perception.
