$650.00 | | Purchased At: | gretna bikes | | Strengths: | This is a great light. I ride 3-4 days a week in the dark for about 4-5 months in phoenix arizona. i need a bright dependable light. The 1500 lumens are very helpful in technical situation when you are increasing speed. my riding partners use other lights and have told me that the betty should be mounted on a 747. The lED lights are very dependable | | Weaknesses: | i have not found any. the light can get hot so be careful. | | Similar Products Used: | i have owned the edison previously. this was a good light in its own right but the betty is in a whole class of its own. I have also used the Turbo cat set up. | | Bike Setup: | pivot 429, fox shock, avid ultimate brakes, mavic rims, x.o shifters and derauler. | | Bottom Line: | This a great light. i bought this from the guys at gretna bikes. I live in arizona but they have made it easy to work with them and they have been very helpful when i had technical questions.
if you ride a lot in the dark and need a dependable quality light the betty it is. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$650.00 | | Purchased At: | gretna bikes | | Strengths: | Lupine has out done themselves. The 1500 lumens are great on the dark mornings in phoenix. I ride in the dark three to four days a week for almost 5 months so i need a great light that is dependable. This light is very bright. my ride partners have told me it should be mounted on a 747. they all use mininewts. when riding fast in the dark the lupine really shines. i love the stability of the led lights and the ease of charging and care. | | Weaknesses: | I have not found any. I upgraded from an edison which in itself was a good light, but the betty is in a whole new class. The light will get hot so be careful. | | Similar Products Used: | Lupine Edisom. Turbo cat. | | Bike Setup: | I ride a pivot 429 with x.0 shram and ultimate juicy brakes with fox fork and mavic rims. | | Bottom Line: | This is a great light. i bought this from the guys at Gretna bikes. Todd and bill were great to work with. I also bought my edison from them. Any time i had technical questions they were very helpful. I live Arizona but they have made our interactions very easy. If you do a lot of riding in the dark this light is a great option. If your riding isn't technical this will be all you need. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1000.00 | | Purchased At: | gretnabikes.com | | Strengths: | fast charge, insanely bright, wide beam , infinate adjusting of output, | | Weaknesses: | none | | Similar Products Used: | lupine wilma | | Bottom Line: | the Betty 7 is hand down the most incredible light i've ever seen. i have raced more than 20 solo 24he races and no other light on the market even compares to the 1500lumens that Betty delivers. The beam is so wide and white you have to see it to believe it. Betty is adjustable all the way down to 1W with a 42hr burn time which is great for commuting. Betty is one bad B$tch. Check her out on your next night ride for a great time | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
