Lupine Edison 10 Lights
Product DescriptionMetal Halide (Xenon) beam: Edison works with all Lupine rechargeable batteries (7.2 V). Its performance of 900 lumen output (in comparison: NightMare Pro 25W HP bulb has 550 lumen output) equals a 65 Watt HP halogen bulb - with the bright white light (colour temperature 6000 K) of xenon car head lamps. Beam divergence is 18°: therefore, Edison has an extremely large light range with excellent peripheral illumination.Edison has two beam settings to reduce power consumption. Beam settings are regulated via PCS V4.1 switch unit which is equipped with a programmable capacity control. The Edison is small in size and comes with the typical Lupine casing. Diametre: 41mm, Length: 50mm. Mtbr Bike Lights Shootout - over 50 bike lights reviewed, photographed and measured here.

from Cleveland, Ohio Date Reviewed: October 18, 2010 Strengths: This light and battery are now into their 5th year. It's awesome bright - night rides are just as fast as daytime. Riding on the road at night with this light, you are without a doubt safer than riding the road during daylight. The light mounts quickly & easily, and the water bottle battery drops into the downtube cage. Long run times - three 2-hour rides between charges. Great charger with a display showing charging volts, amps, and amp/hours put into the battery. Pristine German build quality. I love my Edison! Weaknesses: The bulb is proprietary, and somewhat fragile. You won't bust it riding rough trails or potholed streets, but crash or drop it and odds are you'll need to have the bulb replaced. Unfortunately this light is out of production, and replacment bulbs aren't available. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Roads too! Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $700.00 Purchased At: Gretna Bikes Similar Products Used: Nothing even remotely similar! Bike Setup: Road bike, touring bike, mountain bikes, city bike, - the Edison fits 'em all.
