'Kin 'ell

Are yo on a mission to blind wildlife?

What I think is needs is a 600 ish real lumen light that is tiny and light with a 4 hr run time off a tiny battery.

No. I think improving optics and battery life/charge time is where development needs to go now. Perhaps colour temperature needs to be experimented with too.

+
A single unit like a Niterider 250 or a Joystick (no external battery pack)
Charge quickly off a USB plug.

I'd love one of them troutie. An upgrade for next year maybe?????

Im loving my new light by the way. I have literally seen the light, and love night riding now.

Pics of light please! I like the spread of level four, how many lumens there? What would it take for a specific one around that level?

I agree with TJ. 600-700 real world Lumens, good optics, nice small unit maybe as an all in one with long battery life.

I'd buy one, could use the liberator as a helmet light - you can't have too much light!

I would love one of those lights, even if it was only used to piss off the other night riders.

Have to agree with TJ too. Perfect helmet light would be a exposure diablo type light - but why exposure didn't put only 2 xp-g LEDs (a la lupine pico) and have 500-600 lumens and get a 2 - 2.5 hours on full in a joystick/diablo sized package. Now that would be ideal esp if it was sub £150. I'd buy one tomorrow.

Only messing around with the new XML leds at the moment just to see what is possible .
bad pic of the light

[IMG] [/IMG]

approx lumens in the pics are

224 lms
560 lms
1120 lms
2072 lms
3600 lms

so a 2 led version would be half the above figures
the problem at the moment is there are no dedicated optics for this led just yet

Could do Jason but be better to use two and less drive current

Do you need the opitics as it's throwing out loads of light?

From what I've seen of the Magicshine light, I'd like the 'ears' as a set of bar lights I could set wide apart as a far-reaching flood and have a solid spot on the helmet. How about you thinking about the bar and the helmet as a system and giing us the Trout System instead of the stand alone mentalist lights?

Two led would be spot on. Or you could stick 3 in that light of mine 😉

Sorry Wors the leds wont fit the optics

But a single led and when the optics start to appear will be pretty nice .
with a range of 1000 / 100 lumens to choose from and a great battery life , the future is bright 😉

You also have to look at the other applications this light could be used for 😉 eg. mountain rescue. outside light security....

How about making a dedicated helmet light out of just 2 or maybe 3 of the leds. Would this make the unit light enough for head use? I cant see that being any heavier than the hope2.

I'd be happy with modes 2, 3 & 4..

5 looks great but probably more than I'd need really, plus I can't be doing with more than three modes to go cycling through...

burn time, low weight, useable light levels and sensible pricing... got to be the winning formula.

All these new emitters seem to be bringing lighting nirvana closer and closer... happy days.

I'll be honest. Its crap, no one will buy it. Send it to me and I'll do a 5 year test on it with my push bike and moped for free. If it breaks I'll send it back. I can't see it being a big seller.
