has some good things to say
I run ayup on both bar and helmet but that is in a very XC situation not so much the higher speed enduro circumstances you might find yourself in...enough light for me but not perhaps enough for you.
Auto adjusting? How does that go?Exposure stuff is the BOMB Big JD....
I have a reflex MKII on the bars and waiting on an equinox for helmet use....
NEVER run the Reflex in highest mode. It can be run in reflex mode (auto adjusting) to last 12hrs with a useable light output for solo racing.
I'll expect the same life out of an Equinox with booster (for 12/24) that sits in your jersey pocket and has a wireless bar mounted switch.... BLIIIING
Pushys Specials - get on board.Yeah looking at the Exposure Equinox for the helmet. i do like the AYUP set up alround and they have been bombproof- just a little undergunned
So if/when Big JD snags a Lupine Piko set of lights does he run the Piko on his head with and Ay-Up on bars - or brighter Piko on bars with Ay-Up on head? All the talk has been around the latter to ensure the definition of trail (i.e. shadows)... Is that right?I'm biased in my opinion with the Lupine lights, the little Piko is an awesome light, for the money the Piko 7 with the larger battery that will give you 4hrs on full power is great value, comes with everything you need to attach to your helmet. Down the track you could purchase a handlebar mount http://www.virtuascape.com.au/lupine-accessories/mounting-options/cnc-bar-mount-piko
Something that needs to be taken into consideration with Lupine lights is there light output measurements are accurate not theoretical measurements like most other companies. So at 1200 lumens this light will look like many others 2000+ lumen lights. check across at the mtbr light forum for more details http://reviews.mtbr.com/2014-mtbr-bike-lights-shootout
I really like Exposure lights, awesome products have great beam spread, fully contained light/battery, weakness run times on full noise are short and they take forever to recharge, which isn't favourable for night racing. External batteries aren't cheap to purchase.
Go the Piko JD, you won't be disappointed
Camzh !!! can you please confirm the screw size for the solarstorm is indeed M4 with a pitch of 0.7mm?I've gotta give some credit to Chopsticks for this, as he suggested just putting a screw through a GoPro Link.
the screw for the Solar Storm is M4x0.7 if anyone is interested.
Great call on the X2. I have done a little research and it seems really really good - very Piko like. Really look forward to your review/update Big JD.Supporting my LBS- they made me an offer on gloworm x2 that was amazing.
X2 on the helmet and AyUp on the bar for now. Keep you posted
didnt kniow there were different versions GT. The latest- they retail for $340 and have a little remote switch.Do you know which version of the X2 you picked up JD?
I have the V2 for bar duties (as well as the X1V1 for helmet duties). X2V2 is the 1200 Lumen one, if you've got the X2V3, that'd be the 1500 lumen one - updated led and lenses - sweet deal.didnt kniow there were different versions GT.
