Lumens isn't everything, beam pattern and kelvin matter more.. but beam pattern has given and take with spread/spill and lumens.. Imo best beam on the market is outbound trail Evo due to is super wide beam, but wider the beam, less perceived brightness( I personally think they should up it ton4k lumens) Best inexpensive light is the Infun gt200. At 65 bucks. Novsight 1600 would make a good supplement light for 23ish bucks I personally run dual Baja designs S1 wide angle ambers! About 4500+ lumens and selective yellow hue Oh and a diode dynamics sc1 SAE fog on bar(street/gravel)
OVERKILL? Who really needs 12,000 lumens of output on a bicycle? In most trail situations reflective glare would actually reduce visibility at that output level and while you can always turn the level down your still stuck with close to 3 lbs. of light and battery. If you need to flex by having the most powerful light, knock yourself out but IMO there are several smarter choices in the Magicshine line that will give you equal usable performance with a lot less weight and for a lot less money.
milliamp is the current. milliamp-hour (mAh) is the capacity. This is the 2nd video today thay makes this mistake. Capacity is current over a 1hr period. Current could be anything, but is normally the maximum possible, but current is definitelty not capacity. Please demonstrate that you understand what you are reviewing.
Whats the Brightest Light You Have?
Monteer 8000!

Great review! Will you be doing more footage of it? Thanks for showing the install process. Not a lot of videos that show that
I would like to , but to be honest , most people don’t watch night ride videos haha.
@@MTBRadDad very true lol. Maybe some comparison shots compared to other magicshine lights?
Such a thorough review! Awesome video man!
Thanks bud! Make sure you sign up for that giveaway. Should help see them alligators on the trails 🤣
How long is the contest for? Description shows till dec 1 but gleam shows 5 days left?
It ends on the 6th. I forgot to update the description. 👍
can you run this with a helmet light but only using 1 controller to turn on off both lights?
How many degrees do you get for peripheral vision
great review.
Thanks!
Can you use the smartphone 2 not only adjust the brightness but turn it off and on
I have heard horror stories about MagicShine’s customer support. I’d strongly recommend Outbound lighting instead.
I don't have outbound anymore, but they're the best bike specific light company with the best customer service pre sale and post sale

My brightest light is only 700 lumens 🔦 😂. This magic 🪄 shine ✨ light 💡 is amazing 🤩
We gotta get you some righter lights Marty 😀
@@MTBRadDad and maybe 🤔 even some brighter ones 😂
Watch out, gleam will try to access your Facebook info. I declined.
