Willehond Posted October 15, 2008 Share the sigma Karma and sigma Evo' date=' any good?[/quote'] A bit long in the tooth those models and the Sigma PowerLed is their better option these days. The Evo really is a underpowered compared to the others discussed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted October 15, 2008 Share Ayup is not so good. They have no clever PWM circuits in their lights so when the battery life starts to fade' date=' the light dims.The problem is reduced if the light is coupled to a Li-ion battery but it is still nowhere nearas good as a unit with PWM circuitry[/quote'] I decided against it anyway as I doubt I'd get R5k usage out of it. Would rather go for a Sigma Karma, might not be the greatest but at under R 2k probably the best bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoLefty!! Posted October 15, 2008 Share Do not under estimate how dim the sigma's are in relation to the Iblaast II or others.Its the difference between driving a VW beetle from the 1950's to a modern mid size luxury sedan using HID Xenon bulbs.

anthemboy Posted October 15, 2008 Share Just contact Johannes and order a Revelation3. You won't be sorry! http://www.brighter-lights.com/revelation-3.htm What is the price range here? Last I heard they were around R4500-00. I used the Sigma Evo-X before the Revelation3. The EVO-X on the helmet and the Evo on the handle bar. I ran 2 batteries. They were fine for single track night racing. Revelation is just on a different level alltogether and you only charge it now and again. The sigma has to be charged before every race.

BigGuy Posted October 15, 2008 Share http://trailtech.net/SCMR16_helmet_light_kits.html 30W HID for roughly R3500. OK' date=' that was 6 months ago, who knows how much it would be now? I bought the flood lens option. Single-track in front of you remains lit even if you turn the handlebar 90 degrees. Pisses off the riders in front of you, as they can't see where they are going. Battery lasts about 3 hours. Total weight is about 830g. Very robust, solid, well-made. [/quote'] This thing pumps 1850 Lumens! $379.00 GoeieGenaade!!!! Ja hy is nogal bright. Vra die tydhouers by die M&B 24hour of hulle al hulle visie terug het!En nou, skakel ons oor na die Ingilse nuus:http://reviews.mtbr.com/blog/category/lights-shootout/ , as mentioned by The Crow, makes for good reading. That is where I discovered the Trailtech light. View the back yard comparison photos and judge for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sampie Posted October 15, 2008 Share You dont need more than this http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12060 Work out about R590 for the light, 2 batteries, bikeclip & charger. You can use it for about everything.Not 900 lum. about 400 and lasts about 70min on one battery on high, med are a lot of light for normal riding and high for downhill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFcjQWeAhiQ sampie2008-10-15 07:27:50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthemboy Posted October 15, 2008 Share Not cheap. Are they that good? No....they are better!! I used mine for the first time on Trans Baviaans this year. I was smiling all the way. My partners had Blackburn X5's.. They looked like 2 dim candles in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelis Posted October 15, 2008 Share Sigma Led Black3 settings, up too 90 lux, I ride on middle light, no issues! 5-6 hours, 3,5 for max setting, recharge 3hours, system weighs about 200-300 grams.R2500 about. Not sure why everyone wants daylight brightness in front of them, cost a small fortune, weights a ton, and doesn't make you go faster one bit!
