We could clearly see that YOu are having fun making these videos and spinning around on the new bike Tjommi! Daaamn, that lamp(s) are bright, looks great! I use my BD 350 Revolt every day this time of year, bicycling to work, walk the dog etc. Still happy with it after some years. 🔥🔥🔥
I never thought riding down a dark trail would be this much fun.... talk about finding the inner child again Tjommi 🙈 Haha, is that the headlamp you was looking for in the Swedish forrest before we went to Latvia 🤣🔥 Cheers ☕️
@tshansen Indeed it was! You know how it is when you pack things in another way than usual... not recommended for best efficiency!
I could really imagine how fun this is Tjommi. Great and fun way to enjoy the outdoors my MAMIL friend 👀😁👍
Until now, I've never seen anyone using a headlamp as an excuse to ride the bicycle at night, unless Thomas with another great video. 😁👍👍
Hahaha 😝 you know what, this is the most fun I have had in a really long time. There is just something really challenging and rewarding with going down a trail in the dark 🙈
As an electrician, and a headlamp princess i've been through a lot of headlamps. And Moonlight does look like an excellent headlamp. But also a little like a one trick horse. Its main forcé is trail riding. and can be used for other purposes.
However i swear for everyday use it would end up on the shelf for me, because of its size. For me the best headlamp money can buy i the Fenix HM65R. It got it all:
Great output
Flood light with warm white light for leeser strain on your eyes for close work
Separate spotlight (can be used simultaneously with flood
USB C rechargeable batteries
lightweight
Battery indicator
Minus is the battery life, but since it runs on 18650 batteries, you can bring spares, you can change them out and keep on going.
The HM65R is like an adventurebike. A jack of all trades with all the key elements for me, and i wouldnt mind go trail riding with it.
Hahaha, a headlamp princess 😂 best one I have heard in a while. Great to hear your experience with the feneix lamp, I actually own one of them myself. I always have it in my cabin. so if I forget any of my other headlamps, that one is always there. Headlamp is always a little bit difficult to rate, because we have so many individual needs. For me, the moonlight headlamp is without a level up from anything else I own, but I have a more specific need than others maybe (speed) But really nice to hear why you choose the Fenix as your favourite. (I know they sell others) but I guess the HM65R is the best one. It is about 1400-1500 Lumens if I'm not mistaking. I actually like the batteries. A lot of the gear I use for hiking use the same batteries.
@@tshansen i feel pretty when i put on my headlamp 😉
I know what you mean, and for speed I believe the moonlight is perfect. For speed you need lumens and range, and I looks like you're all set. Really like you choose the 2000 and 3000 setup. Think I would have gone for the same setup.
However I've experienced you can get too much light. A couple of years ago I nearly went throug a deer on my motorcycle because I didn't see it in time. The solution to that problem was 2x Baja Design Squadron pro.. and holy shit I could see everything. The problem is that when i meet oncoming traffic and turn it off my night vision is smacked and for the next 5min I feel like the OEM headlight might as well could have been a 1850's mining headlamp. So there's is a light for every job. But I've learned that you can get to much as well.
@@DonClemenster Hahaha, I can relate to that. you can dress for something fun in a way.
there is without something to the whole Too much light as well. I'm working as a rescue leader and we have some really strong (call batman) lights for searching for people. And if you light that towards someone, or move it around too much, you will lose the line of sight after you turn if off for many minutes. We also have a lot of Lupine headlamps, they are crazy expensive but I feel like they are so damn clumsy to use. The batteries are big and heavy. the light has to many options and button press. I know they use them for sled riding in the north. I'm no fan.
@@tshansen that's what happens when you let 1 guy dictate what you all have to use. On paper Lupine is a great headlamp. But if the functionally is not there, then it's useless. I'm a big fan of letting people choose their own gear. We're all different, and if the gear meets the requirements for the job, then there is a lot to gain.
Rescue leader you say.. I once worked on offshore wind farms. And often it could be very foggy outside. Like you could see 2m in front of the boat. One day we were heading out, but couldn't get on the turbines due to thick fog. The ships gps said we were inside the turbine we were supposed to go on. And then we got a call over the radio. Somehow on of the other boats forgot a Nightshift team on one of the other turbines. So we had to pick them up. But since we couldnt find the turbines, that was a small problem. To our luck the guys used something that basically was a laserpointer for alleigment jobs. Those lasers could somehow cut through the fog and we could "scan" the siluette of the turbine. Which made me think those laserpointers would be great for rescue operations. What do you do in low visibility situations?
Correct, and that is a really good point. People should be allowed to find their own equipment more. Because we all need to master tools that works for our needs. Not everyone's needs.
Well, in thick fog there is not much to do other than turn the lights down and get close. A laser pointer could be valuable for the one who needs rescue. But it is most certainly something I need to test out if we can use as well. That is a great tip to be honest. the tint of the light makes a difference as well, blueish or yellow.
Nice sharing bro very informative. Thanks a lot for sharing this information. 😍
Thank you and really glad you liked it. 🤩
As you say: To have it available, that is king! I photograph a lot and having a solidly good lamp with you makes it less possible that I will do full on face plants in the dirt or what not. I haven't gone for the headlamp variants yet. (I have a handheld Acebeam something something that can fry mosquitos - if they're close enough to the beam - with a touch of a button.) The ability to turn night into day is a game changer.
Forgot to ask: What kind of battery is it running on? Something easy to change and swap out when it is depleted? Like 18650 or?
Indeed, a bright light can turn every situation to the better. I never gave it much though before I really felt like I needed it. I have used headlamps for many years now, but always thought it was good enough. But with the new battery technology and great Led lights, things has really turned around to the better. They use own batteries you can have extra or charge with a usb-c cable (power bank or outlet) I'm not sure what a spare battery cost but I don't think it is replaceable with other batteries like the 18650
Hey, Thomas, what a surprise: a Freddie Mercury-style beard. My headlamp is with the toolset, just in case of a breakdown. Never had to use it ;-) 15 kg, that's a lot. Respect, Günter/Nürnberg
I have it right next to my toiletries in the sidebag (or should we say toothbrush) 😂 use it every night in camp and as you if I have to do something on the bike on the trail. But when you start doing other activities, and more serious work (at the cabin) you need brighter light. Running, skiing, trail riding with my new bike, well... there is noe way around it if you want to do that in the mornings or evenings. Yeah, i had to start taking my health serious again. Small and minor adjustments has worked really well for me, and now everything is much lighter. 🤩
@@tshansen Much lighter life, that's great. Maybe you could tell us more in your next video.
Nice review Thomas, that moustache seems great! Btw, what's that on your head? Cheers
Thank you Vitor 🤩 Well, it can be a pain in the @ss when you eat anything creamy or mayonnaise 🙈 Depends on what part of the video you referring to 😂 Cheers
I have to get used to the moustache too 🤣 and you've lost quite a bit of weight, right? Great head lamp by the way 😬✌🏻
Hello my friend 🍻 Well, it just for a couple of more days. then we are back to the normal ugly me 😂 Yeah, 15 kg to be exact 🙌🏻
@@tshansen wow 🤩 nice I’m on my mission too to loose weight, I will have a new job in 2024 and this will change my life. After 25 years shift work back to Monday to Friday work.
Im using a cheapo led light with red and white light. white for tinkering and red for astro photography as it does not ruin your night vision
Yeah, i know there is some that prefer red light for some task or tactical stuff… but i have never needed that in my work.
I used to do quite a lot of night riding on my MTB, including 24 hour races where I would happily ride a few night laps. Technology has moved on a little but I used three bright LED headlamp units. One on the bar aimed just a short distance in front and another aimed much further, the third was mounted on my helmet because as you found (I spotted it in the video) we 'look' at a corner before getting there, with just bar mounted lights (OK for roadbikes), you have to ride slower because you are often turning blind into a dark space. Those Moonlight units look really good.
Yeah, I personally thought it would be enough with just a bright headlamp, but after chatting with the guys at Moonlight they strongly recommended a light on the handlebar as well. And I have to say, it would not be the same without one. And yes, I imagine having two on the handlebar like you describe would be even better. I'm surprised how intense and rewarding it is to ride around in the dark like this. I absolutely loved it. Finally something really fun to do in the dark season up here. 🤩
@@tshansen there is nothing as cool as riding a forest single track at night.
@@neilmackinnon3371 You know what... 6 months ago I would not believe you, but today! Absolutely agree 👏🏻
Fenix HM65R is my “ go to “ head torch. 👍 I’m a bit of a head torch collector though because I have 6 at the moment. 😂 Another good one is the LED Lenser H8R. 👍
Haha, nice.... yes the Fenix have many great head torches. I have the Led Lenser H15R or something similar I think, I did not like that so much. and not a rechargeable battery on it, and it always turned on in my backpack. This Bright as A day 2000 headlamp is by far the best one I have found this far.
5:40 🤣🤣🤣👍
It will happen to all of us eventually 😂
Looks an excellent lamp. Can you mount the headlamp onto the handlebar mount?
Yes, I mounted it on my peak design handlebar mount, but every mount that can take a gopro quick lock can be used as well.
Many thanks that’s very useful 👍
I’m still trying to get use to the mustache … headlamp looks very good, thanks!
Hahaha.... I'm not used to it my self either 😂 But men's health is important for me, so every year Movember get high priority. The headlamp is absolutely fantastic 🤩
I haven’t used headlamps that much. I don’t know why actually, they give you both hand free and always pointed in the same direction as your eyes 🍻🤪 well most of the time at least. I recently buy a cheap headlamp from biltema, not even near the quality of those lamps in the video.
On paper it gives 600 lm, I don’t know if it does but it is the brightest headlamp I have own but not enough light for running or riding a bike in the forest. You definitely need better light to do that in a safe way. 2000 and 3000 lm must be extremely bright 😮
Things that I find important is that the flood of light spread evenly over the area so it’s not only a extreme bright spot in the middle and almost no light at the side. Or even worse a dark spot in the middle which some poor quality lamps have 😂.
To support local manufacturers is definitely a good criteria when choosing products 🤩🇳🇴
I have done pretty much the same as you Jonas... 200-300 lumens was good enough and replaceable batteries. But I have found that running around searching for small AAA batteries can be quite a pain. And I really did not know I needed that much light before I had the option to put it on. Like you see in the video with the huge lights in the from of my car. You think there is good light on a car, no! it's not! it is rubbish when you get proper light and understand how important it is in the dark, or middle dark hours of the day.
Going fast on the trails, running, riding or even skiing you will need a brighter light. And it is so damn nice to don't have to worry about it. So this will be a trusted companion for many adventures ahead. 🔥 A little bit more bulky than my Petzl on motorcycle trips, but I can live with that.
I just passed out when I saw that moustache! What was the video about?
Hahaha 😝 with great power comes great responsibilitys 😂 Don't matter, you got the most important part 🤣
The mustache is porn. Good move to support local companies if possible and another most welcome tip for equipment if needed. Thanks for showing it.
Hahaha, the moustache get a lot of attention, that is for sure 🙈 Yeah, there are so many knockoffs in China or other countries that steals people ideas. I'm not a huge fan of that, so I rather promote products that is local and that I actually use. I even got my own design stolen on Aliexpress or something. 😂
Damm! Lampa trekker nesten 5 ampere fra batteriet på full styrke. (5 amp. = 5000mA). 5000mA x 2 = 10.000mA som er omtrent kapasiteten på batteriet. Da vil jeg tippe den blir bra varm ja. Hvis ikke har dem gjort en fenomenal jobb på og lede bort varmen. Sikkert svindyre LED dem har brukt også.
Ja, det er ikke noe leketøy 😂 Den blir varm, men langt ifra så varm som jeg hadde trodd den skulle bli. Jeg vil anta at det er solide komponenter når man ser prisen på disse hodelyktene. De er jo i toppsjiktet.
@@tshansen Dog er jeg usikker på hva jeg mener om barten du har annlagt, men min mor lærte meg at det er det indre som teller, haha. Keep up the good work. Synes videoene dine ser veldig proffe ut. Detta har du lagt mye jobb i ser jeg :)
@@Ove_Bjerknes Haha, blir aldri fart uten bart 😂 En måned i året er det helt nødvendig, selv om jeg ser ut som en tysk "film" stjerne 🙈🎥 Det er bra mygla på innsiden også, så jeg får holde meg til redigering tror jeg 😂🔥 Jo takk, det er jo dette jeg syntes er kjekt å holde på med. Kjekt å se at kvaliteten forbedrer seg. Hyggelig med god tilbakemelding Ove 👏🏻 Takk
