Hi;
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with a flashlight that gives a reasonable distance for road riding. I dont want a tight hotspot of light 300M down the road, rather, something that's more 20-50M with a graduated transition from spot to spill. I use a Zeccon Spyker 1210 headlight for low. It has four xp-g r5's in shallow cups, and gives a beautiful spread of light and about 15-20M distance. I hve tried my Sunwayman V20C as a high, and while ok, its slightly lacking in the lumen dept. ( 438 ) My preference is for a single 18650 and about 600-700 lms and 90 minutes or better if possible. Preferably a U2 or L2 Cree and a 25.4mm body.
I could add a cycling specific high beam light, but it gets to a point where you go for a ride on a battery pack with a Cannondale Roadie stuck somewhere underneath it !!!
( I apologize in advance to Scheinwerfermann and the forum if this request in any way contraviens forum rules, and accept their decision to modify or move any part of this post ).
Thanks for your input;
Mike
