It doesn't matter how much the bike light costs, they all seem to come with a flimsy brittle plastic mount. FFS.

More light comparisons! Here I show you several brightness settings of the Gloworm XS G2.0. A light which already served me well at the Alps Divide ULTRA challenge.

In my ongoing pre- and test releasing of bike light comparison videos today I show you the difference between 2 battery powered lights (Lupine SL Mono and Lupine Neo) and 2 dynamo powered lights (SON Edelux II and kLite Ultra Racing).

So you now can get a dynamo hub from DT Swiss!

They paired with Shutter Precision and put an SP PL-7 in a 350 class hub shell.

Available as hub only or inside a GR 1600 and G 1800 Spline wheelset (both aluminium).

While I'm preparing my bike lights test article I show some of the lights, how they look mounted below an outfront-mount and share a few general tidbits about them every few days on my Instagram. Like this Gloworm XS G2.0.

I have a quiz for you. Guess the lights!

Can you put the right lamp to each number?

I photographed 6 different lights yesterday evening all with the same setting of the camera. I only show you one frame per light and its settings are neither the lowest nor the brightest of each respective light. 

The test field:
Gloworm XS G2.0
Supernova Airstream 2
Lupine Neo
Lupine SL Mono
Lupine SL MiniMax AF
Fenix BC26R-D

Initial impressions of the Convoy S21E as a bike light

I've been running my Convoy S21E (B35A 4500K, 20x65 striped TIR) as a bike light for a week or so now. I find it's a big upgrade from the Wuben B2 I had been using because the beam is a more suitable shape, and it doesn't throttle if I keep my speed up.

Of course if it doesn't throttle, runtime is 73 minutes, but it's 73 minutes of 1500 lumens of glorious 97 CRI simulated daylight. I'll bring spare batteries.

I wonder which optic makes the best bike light

Here's my other movie of fog in motion through the beam of my bike light. The motion is from the fog droplets in the breeze.

You've seen the stills and now here are the motion pictures. Fog in motion! Swirly swirl swirl.

I just uploaded to #Flickr a couple of macro movies I made looking at the droplets of fog swirling across the beam of my bike light. Here's one of them.

I hadn't realised until this week that fog was so mesmerising.

Intriguing new dynamo light / light system just released by Igaro. The Igaro C1 Pro.

- StVZO compliant beam (if that is good or bad depends on your use case and if and how a high beam is realized and configurable)
- ultra-configurable and smart (well, we'll see)
- big negative / problematic: highly dependent on app configuration and connectivity and said app is only available for Android for the start.

Temat rzek. Oświetlenie rowerowe. Wcześniej zapada zmrok. Koniecznie trzeba pamiętać o dobrych lampkach na rower. Najjaśniejsze nie zawsze znaczy bezpiecznie i najlepsze.
Czego używacie? Przygotowuje materiał o lampkach. Już za chwilę na blogu.
