There was a sigh of relief from the Lumicycle production crew when their chastisement of the web-administrator finally paid off in getting him to work on publishing their coveted LED system on the web. What can I say? Speaking for myself, I ride around on the roads here with a 12 Watt Spot, the light is awesome, and you get the "that’s a slow moving Motorbike with full-beam on" reaction from drivers which have pulled over to let me by quite regularly. Which of course is a source of constant amusement, but I have slowly come to the realization that commuters in cities are more and more using LED lights, all of which seem quite weak. One dark morning I was cycling on my usual morning routine, when I was bedazzled by a cyclist coming down Richmond Hill in Bournemouth, like a deer in headlights, I swerved only to hear the familiar voice of Ludo one of the Lumicycle crew. The two lights he was using were a 6 degree Halide and the new LED system. I am impressed, but that’s a little testimony from an insider.
This new addition really bolsters the Lumicycle range, supplying outstanding run-times and when coupled with a glow ring, you can see the results. This light is the solution for long distance commutes, or returning from a wearing Single-track outing. Even if your battery is on its last legs, the new LED light draws a mere 1 Watt of power. Which means, running 1 LED light; you would get around 25 hours on an Elite, 50 hours on a Pro and a whopping 75 hours on an Endurance Battery! I take my hat off to anyone who cycles for 75 hours straight, now that’s what I call Endurance!
The system, as Ludo so excellently demonstrated, is the perfect long-ride solution, coupled with another lamp provides everything an enthusiast needs. I may just add here that coupled with the Halide lamp, you have the ultimate long-ride solution with an all-round blue-white light, outstanding. Cheers Ludo! I just wish I had a camera on me...
The website is coming up to speed; it is work in progress but the LED light it can be found below. More photos coming soon.
