Product Description
The system of lamp head with remote control in the Betty R is unique and a World first because it’s specially designed for the requirements of a 40W lamp. The hand rests safely on the handlebar and at the push of a button our Betty switches through up to four individually customizable light levels with a maximum output of 3600 lumens. As a direct comparison, 3600 Lumens is brighter than any common Xenon car light! Betty R 12 comes with an 11.2 Ah Smartcore battery and a helmet mount; to put it on a handlebar an optional mount-set is available.

Strengths: Unbelieveable amount of usable light, Cars are always flash their lights at you, burns the moss off of the treesWeaknesses: Costs a lot but. Speed costs $$, how fast do you want to goBottom Line: For the last 5 years I have purchased a new Betty light system and sold the previous years model on eBay. I have had most all of them including several years worth of Wilmas. With last years light I had 2 light heads, both the 22 and 26 degree lamps with 2600 lumens and actually preferred the 22 over the 26 for my type of riding which is primarily on the road. I was blown away when I found out that for 2013 they had increased the output to 3600 lumens with 26 degrees. I was among the 1st adopters and quickly ordered one along with a 2400 lumen Wilma.
So I use my light for a weekly night ride with my buddies. We do around a 15 mile climb up Palomar Mountain in San Diego and then turn around and bomb back down the hill at speeds around 45-50 depending on the section of road.
With this light and honestly the last few Betty's you cannot outrun the light. More is better and this is awesome. Cars frequently flash their lights at you when on high. They have also changed the display to include a blue, green, red battery output levels as the backlight on the display. You can also now program it for 4 different output levels and also a redundant battery level like the one on the smart battery.
Last year the light I purchased came with (2) 5.6ah batteries which worked great for the way I use the light. 1.5 hours of climbing on the lowest light level and mid for the 15-18mph stuff and high for the downhill blast. One problem with this light is that you really cannot effectively use the 5.6 battery with the Betty R light head. On the highest output it draws more amperage than the small battery can deliver. What you notice is that the various battery level indicators do not read properly on the light head. Works fine on the 22W level. They only sell this with the 9 or 12 battery for a good reason. I also purchased the Wilma for the helmet as I figured that 6000 lumens would be fantastic, but it is kind of overkill. I can only give this the highest marks.
