MTB Batteries Lumenator 17 light


MTB Batteries make replacement cells for salvaging ropey eBay lights, and that experience means their own branded lights are spot on for the money. The claimed 2,200-lumen output is more like 1,200 to 1,500, with limited distance reach, but it gives broad coverage from the front wheel upwards, with a smooth edge that’s easy on the eyes. You can order the small two-LED head with an O-ring or GoPro mount. Upcoming changes will split the three solid modes (press and hold for strobe/ flash) and on/off duties between the two rear switches so there’s no illumination interruption. Four Panasonic cells in a metal case give impressive run times that make the lack of a life indicator less troubling. The stretchy bag-battery fits most frames easily. Reliability peace of mind makes the price a bargain.
