We put this together over the last couple months and got it online today in case anyone is interested it could prove to be some valuable info for someone shopping for a new LED.


8 different lights from 6 different manufacturers with an on-trail photo comparison.

Good article. Of course, the LED I'm interested in (Cygolite) isn't being tested because it wasn't available at test-time.

Sounds like the moto my mom always told me growing up...only there was a queen involved.

The 'hover over model description to see picture' presentation is nice. Tells me that two of the selections seem to give the best light. Would have been nice to have run time in the same table.

I would really like to see a light set offered with various battery packs so I could match capacity to what I need for run time. I'm tired of having a battery run out halfway through a lap in a 24 hour race.

I'm glad you liked. You're right two of the lights did appear to be the brightest. It's important to note, as we did in the written reviews that the brightest isn't always the most important. There is also weight, run time, compatibility, easy of mounting, beam shape and other variables to consider.

In the future, we'd like to improve upon this review format to incorporate a wider range of review variables, of course...

A friend of mine just bought a Light & Motion Stella this week... looking forward to seeing how it works on the trail although your review was positive.

Thx!

PS: You've got Rep!

I solved that by not entering 24 hour races any more.

That Lupine is disturbingly bright.

How do these LEDS compare to the HID systems?

How do these LEDS compare to the HID systems?

theyre tougher and dont flicker like HIDs when you hit bumps. i should be getting a trinewt here pretty soon. we have compared alot of these lights side by side at work and i noticed that the minewt and trinewt tend to be the brightest. i also like them cause theyre tiny
