    To co uważacie:
  • mike x - i find the buttons on these lights a little bit overly firm to press. soft touch switches would be better
  • paul Flattery - Well, if the surface is poor,or there's a pot hole,if your riding fast,in a low/no traffic area,it helps to see it well in advance so you don't hit it,I find if the lights too low I don't see it in time to react, I'm not talking about a commuting type situation. 
  • bcmasur - Worth less than $20 now. I'm getting them for around $10. Some run on one 18650 and some run on two (or one).
  • EhButU - Point light at the floor - that is what it is for - not to light a tree 50ft away
  • Mehran Mahdi - lebac...zip ties can be easily removed if you stick a sharp pointed object in the locking mechanism and move the hook away from the tread
  • SuperOwnJK - Great product demo
  • lucaseq77 - I hope that bicycle technology won't go the same way as it was over 100 years ago. They are already selling electric bicycles...Few more years and we may see bicycles with internal combustion engines... lol Safety technology - YES, Engines of any kind - NO. Bicycle should be powered by your legs and...hills? lol Keep riding!
  • lizardizzle - I'll try that out. Also, where did you get the quick release for the light? Mine came with a plastic thing that clips the bike to the handlebars, but it feels very cheap.
  • 43mightbe - I have that light on my bike it's amazing and I love it I have used it in a few of my videos
  • lucaseq77 - Glad I could help. Have fun with it.
  • r6dreams - hi lucas, thanks for posting. i just received a similar t6 light from an ebay seller in China. I am currently charging the light for the first time. How do i know when the battery is full? the charging plug has one light on it and it is currently solid red. its been the same for 3 hours. thx
  • Alan Gilbert Favela - i'm planning on buying the CREE XML T6 LED from E BAY my question is did you have to pay import taxes for the item? i'm from the United States and the seller is from China the price listed is $26.99
  • r6dreams - thanks lucas! you da man!
  • alpha11ish - i agree but i do believe bikes need some degree of ultra modern lights,led lights are out of date and lazer lights are next.there to be tiny in size and easy on power and much crisper and whiter light.led lights never took off on cars in terms of headlights,audi kinda went there a little but unless you were well off you wouldnt be seeing them on a standard audi.the batteries for bike lights needs to be reduced alot.i love my mtb and mite replace it in 2013 with a newer 10000euro mtb.
  • kotagan - it depends what kind of LED is installed,I bought mine from a seller in UK, I bought FEREI TWIN BIKE LIGHT 3200LUMEN, beautifully designed, seller >>> ( gadgets-2699 ) Uk based seller
  • lucaseq77 - Good question! With this light you get best of both worlds. There is a good amount of flood light and huge amount of throw. You can also buy a lens made for older design MagicShine lights that is compatible with this light. It cost about $6 on Ebay. It will give you more rectangle shape of light. You will gain more flood, loose a lot of throw and some brightness, but it may work well for some riders.
  • lucaseq77 - It's all in the description... 2+ hours on average on high.
  • apensity - Got two of these for my night time downhill and singletrack rides. The light is awesome, I have one spot and one flood lense (aftermarket) and they work out great. Much better then my NiteRider Torch HID. Don't get hot either. Only drawback is the mount, but some duct tape or zip ties and you are good to go!
  • lucaseq77 - If you going for Baja 1000 race - you will need two of them, but for regular cycling rides - one is plenty enough ;-)
  • sicsnowboarder - How do you like the light so far? How long have you used it?
  • lucaseq77 - Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I'm trying to keep my bikes clean all the time, but sometimes there is no time to clean it right away. I'm using WD40 to clean my frames. Seems that dirt is not sticking like it used to.
  • Wesleystraight6 - got the exactly the same for 30 bucks. how is it possible that the prices are so different?
  • lucaseq77 - Bought mine from this guy, with fast 7 days shipping. Ask him for an extra battery ($7 or so with shipping with your light purchase) ebay.com/itm/CREE-XML-T6-LED-B­ike-Bicycle-Light-HeadLight-he­adLamp-/170691177255?pt=LH_Def­aultDomain_0&hash=item27bdfcab­27 I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Highly recommended.
  • lucaseq77 - That's what I was referring to ;-) History likes to repeat itself, but we are already too fat and too smart to choose motorcycle over healthy, quiet, no fumes, and fun lifestyle. I know, I know... Don't hate me just because I like bicycles more than motorcycle... We all make our own choices, and mine is better ;-)
  • John Feeman - I just bought one of these with 4 CREE lights, and it's 5200 Lumens. I love it. On high, the cats in my neighborhood have tried to look directly at it and they squint. It drives dogs nuts though, because they don't hear you coming - they SEE you coming. LOL
  • TechPimp - They only cost $24 in Amazon
  • lucaseq77 - Well...1000+ lumens is A LOT. More may be better for some, but you have to think about battery life...I do a lot of long rides, so I would be much happier with 500 lumens light and 5 hours run time, instead of 1500 lumens and 1 hour run time ;-)
  • lucaseq77 - GeoManGear website clodes its doors in June 2012, so you have to try magicshine website or ebay. What I used, it was original MagicShine mount. Usually it's sold in 2 pieces...One is the two O-rings, and another is just the mount.
  • lizardizzle - Okay cool. Thanks for replying. I got the light last night and did a test ride. It's so good! How do you waterproof it for the harshest of rain? Put the battery itself in to a bag and that in to the velcro frame bag? It seems like water could still get in through the hole that the cord makes.
  • lucaseq77 - It's a high powered and very efficient led light, but based on an older Magicshine design. Personally I don't care that much about the look or shiny/chrome components. All I care about, is strong, bright and dependable headlight that I can count on. This one is truly bomb proof.
  • lucaseq77 - I didn't pay import tax for this light. Not even sure how it works.
  • deveousdevil - oh man im so disappointed, ive been waiting for this light then it was rejected by customs b/c of the battery pack :/. gonna have to buy it from a US seller.
  • lucaseq77 - Rubber rings will hold it in place pretty well...It may slide around the handlebars under its own weight tho. You may experiment with adding some electric tape under the mount to create little "bump" that may prevent the whole light from moving. Good luck!
  • lucaseq77 - Hard to tell without seeing it... Since the blinking led is not that bright, is it possible that you just didn't notice it was blinking red for some time before it lost all juice?
  • cbgthree - I'm looking at MagicShine and Lumintrek, but of course interested in paying less money. I'm a little wary of the off-brand lights, though. How reliable has this light been? Is the battery still holding a charge, and for how long? Are the cable connections still solid? It's reliability months after buying a cheaper off-brand lighting system that makes the difference.
  • alpha11ish - ok we have had the cree leds now its time to move on to the next step,,,lazer lights which are 1000 times whiter than cree leds.when can we expect to see them for sale.bikes lights are always ahead of the auto industry.
  • JonnnyReader - thanks for the fast reply but i find with mine the led is green all the time until it just suddenly cuts out and wont turn on again till i recharge it
  • lucaseq77 - You are right, These are very strong even at 100 lumens. I don't ride at night on the streets. I'm using this light mostly for bicycle trails.
  • lucaseq77 - That's the first one....sorry to hear that. Lithium ion batteries needs special attention, and may be dangerous when handling not the right way. There is a few Chinese sellers that are selling these lights from their US based warehouses. Good luck!
  • Lorimar López - The light is very bright in the middle. Do you think that adding a difuser will help ?
  • Dla was polecam, zobaczcie sami: (nic nie ma do polecenia).
