Halogen 12 Spot Elite |
Li-Ion 2009 with two Lamps
The simple design means it is easy to buy any extra lamps if you are not certain about which lamp ou need or if you want a spare or if you want a shorter run time with a brighter light or a longer run time with a less bright light.
The Halogen lights are as bright as any of our LEDs the only difference is that the run time will be shorter or to get the same run time you will need a bigger battery. But for those just starting out or on a budget a couple of hundred extra extra grams of weight isn't the end of the world.
Last year MBUK reviewed the 12Spot 20Flood Pro and declared that it had the most spread and reach of any of the lights on test and that was compared with the oppositions 960 lumen LED systems. So Halogens are still very good lights and you can always upgrade in the future as Lumicycle are continually innovating new product.
Evolving from the classic award winning NiMH2000, the new Li-Ion 2009 utilises the very latest and best in Lithium Ion battery technology to produce a massive increase in lighting power for even less weight.
The new ultra-lightweight 14.8 volt, 4.4 Amp Hour (65 Watt/ Hour) Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries overdrive the lamps by 20% producing a massive 60% increase in brightness whilst maintaining staggeringly long run times. Over-charge, over-discharge and short-circuit protection circuitry are built into the batteries to ensure maintenance free operation and long life. The batteries comes in a choice of frame mount bag or bottle cage mount. The Li-Ion System also comes complete with a three stage fast Li-Ion battery charger.
Custom lamp configuration makes this system ideal for a one hour sprint, for a two to three hour night ride or for a longer five to ten hour enduro event. They are ideal also for commuting, night training rides or for longer audax events. Utilising high performance technologies this system places the light exactly where you need it; on the trail or road ahead.

| 5 Watt 7° Spot | 6.6 Watts | 110 Lumens | 4 Hours | 8 Hours | 12 Hours | Penetrating beam yet very economical with up to 8.5 hours run time. Idea for Audax. This lamp is also a firm favourite of the commuter, equipped with the optional Halogen Glow ring to give high visibility from the side this lamp can be used for a week of commuting on one full charge. | Used with the 12 Watt spot this makes a very economical urban/ rural commuter system | | 10 Watt 38° Flood | 13.2 Watts | 260 Lumens | 2.5 Hours | 5 Hours | 7.5Hours | The 10 Watt Lamp with its wide 38 ° Flood is idea for urban use where a wide angle of visibility is required. The 5 hour Run Time is also very attractive to road riders. | The compliment of this lamp would be one of the spots for urban/ rural riding. It is also used with the 20 spot as an off road system. |
| 12 Watt 8° Spot | 15.8 Watts | 370 Lumens | 1.9 Hours | 3.8 Hours | 5.7 Hours | The 12 watt spot is the perfect lamp for singletrack or use on the road. It has a penetrating beam but also a wide halo to give lots of confidence. This is a very efficient lamp. Don't leave home without it | Use with any of the other lamps. Also pretty good with another 12 Watt Spot | | 20 Watt 10° Spot | 26 Watts | 650 Lumens | 1.1 Hours | 2.2 Hours | 3.3 Hours | A brighter and slightly broader version of the 12 Watt Spot. Great for road riding where 2.2 hours is the max run time. | With the 5 or 12 Watt Spot for Road riding | | 20 Watt 20° Mid | 26 Watts | 650 Lumens | 1.1 Hours | 2.2 Hours | 3.3 Hours | For a single lamp the 20 Mid is the best choice for combined road and off road riding with a max 2.2 hours. With its even beam is good to see across the road and for warning on-coming drivers of your presence without blinding them with a huge wide beam. | We would tend to use this with a 12 Spot for the ideal rural/ urban commuter/ training system. | | 20 Watt 30° Flood | 26 Watts | 650 Lumens | 1.1 Hours | 2.2 Hours | 3.3 Hours | The 20 Flood is great for illuminating technical sections or in the woods. Not recommenced for on road use except in slow heavy moving urban traffic where being seen at all costs is vital | Ideally paired with the 12 Watt Spot as the ultimate off road combo. The 20 Flood is used as the extra lamp to illuminate technical or wooded sections. |
