Ysterman Posted March 11, 2010 Share I wanna get some mining head lamps for nigh racing. Buddy at the Nandos Magalies last year had one and it looked like daylight with him around.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I found guys that supply cable free headlamps which I want to try out. I?m just not sure what I need & how much light does a certain amount of Lux or Lumen mean. For example ? what distance clear visibility will the following provide: Lamp A: R503 Working Hours => 12 hours Illumination 11 hours later not less than 1000LxWeight 110 grams Lamp B: R685 Working Hours >- 14 Hours (1200Lx) Working Hours >= 6 Hours (2000Lx) Weight 130 grams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted March 11, 2010 Share Lux = lumens/m^2, and as such is a bit of a useless figure without the distance the reading was taken at and beam angle. Find out what make and model of LED is used, and what the driver current is (or just PM me the full details of the light) and I'll be able to tell you more.

Headshot Posted March 11, 2010 Share Try the lights at deal extreme - magicshine is the brand name. Mine came to R740 including Vat at this end and postage. they claim 900 lumen but from what i read its more like 700. Still perfect for fast d/h descending and very light. Has an SSC p7 emitter which is a very good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Cookie Posted March 11, 2010 Share went night riding last week. Had 900 lumens light mounted on the bike. I was slow but some of the guys would not pass me. They claimed to see better when behind me than infront of me. Small battery = 3.5 hours. Waterproop and robust. Solstice Solo +- R2700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
