BBB Scope 1500 light


BBB’s Scope 1500 is a good no-nonsense helmet light if you’re clever with your run time rationing. As it’s designed primarily as a head light, the twin LEDs create a very focused round beam with an impressive long-distance reach that’ll shame a lot of more powerful lights in high-speed use. The narrow beam and sharp edge can be eye-tiring on more technical terrain, and while a bar mount is included, it’s best saved for simpler trails. Amplified effective brightness means you can make more use of all four power levels than on most similar lights. With no battery indicator and not much over an hour’s run time at full chat in the cold, you need to be conservative on longer missions. The price is also slightly high for the basic design, but the Scope we’ve been running since last year is still going strong.
