knog 605/305

does anyone here have any of these lights? if so what do you think of them. Specs on the website seem a little optomistic.. quotes 450 lumens for the 605 and 350 lumens for the 305..

After readeig their new catalogue I was a bit confused - I know that they are still using Luxeon III led's so claimed output was a bit shocking.

350 lumens from 3W led ?? :eeksign:

I've asked them about that and here is the answer...

We use Luxeon in our Gators.

For the other lights we use a mix of super bright LEDs from different sources.

So :
80 lumens for 305
160 lumens for 605

thanks very much, thought the claimed figures were a bit dodgy. Think i'm going to go back down the DIY route, just have to find a decent battery that doesn't cost a fortune in the UK now..

wow...even if u add the 5mm led it seems really really overstated...

these look very good!!, I saw them when the rep came into the bike shop I was working @...

they even have a thermal path to the bar...

I was very impressed!
