New CNC machine
In August we installed our new CNC machining center Brother S700X2, it should help us make more lamps with greater precision and develop new things faster. Its fully professional and really capable CNC mill. It took us two months to get again production. We had to resolve few problems (larger air consumption, writing new Solidcam postprocessor etc) but it is making parts now and its better in every aspect than our old Tormac PCNC770, which indeed, should be, regarding its price.

35mm handlebar mounts and new CREE XP-L2 with W3 bin
We brought quite a few news recently but especially two of them may be interesting for you:

1) We have got in stock aluminium 35mm handlebar mounts, for all lamps and backwards compatible with all other bike mounts.

2) We've purchased the world's newest and most efficient XP-L2 LEDs with the W3 bin that will ensure our headlamps shine 8% more and produce 8% less heat! They first appear in our flagship Lucifer ULTRA, where they will increase the already monstrous 7500 lumens to a flat 8000 lumens. And that's without shortening the runtime! Gradually you will find them in other models as well.

More lengths of our own HQ extension cables
Now 4 lengths available, 5cm, 10cm, 33cm and 100cm. Other lengths just for special requests, we are quite capable to make any length as we make them inhouse. 5cm and 10cm are meant for bike mounting or (bicycle) helmet mounting.

I've been running an L+ for a year now. Couldn't be much happier with a headlight to be honest. The 4500K colour temperature feels a bit easier on the eyes and makes natural features appear more, well, natural, compared to most bike lights that run at around 6000K and prioritise other things like being visible for others on the road with the downside of making trails look almost monochromatic. I'm especially happy to support a company with a strong DIY ethos that is displayed as screw heads sticking proudly on the front panel, spare parts availability, custom lens and led options, most everything made or assembled in-house, openness about component spec and most importantly runtimes being honest and accurate. Proper nerd stuff, a bit rough on the edges, but top performance where it counts. Pricing is very competive against the main Chinese offerings with local distribution that are popular at my end, especially considering Lucifer's build quality.

letsgethurt: Thanks for your small review, hopefully we find more customers not only in Finland. We are still working hard to bring news and updates, soon have new bike mount aluminium parts, such as somebody from your facebook group requested. I am now really looking forward to machining them on our CNC as soon as we have some free time there. If anybody from you get interested, write me an email, I am not able to match your nickname to your real name.

New upgraded lamps M6+ (1900lm) and L+ (3500lm)

✅
This is very nice upgrade to existing models. The best LEDs of today, Cree XP-L2,W3 which until now were only in our flagship Lucifer ULTRA, will now also be included in the M6+ and L+ models, which will increase their output to 1900lm or 3500lm without changing the runtimes and will also produce less heat!

✅
Both of these headlamps are now up for pre-order with availability from mid-November, you can select them in the LED option for both headlamps. It's the best we can make right now, so don't hesitate too much.

Lucifer Suppliers (1) - new headbands

📷🚲Here is our new video about the new headbands and how they are made. You're probably wondering why I'm writing this here, where you're all bikers. But that's because a lot of customers who bought our light mainly for their bike have started using it as a regular headlamp as well. It can be changed in a matter of seconds without any tools. And that is actually one of the important things that we wanted to have at the beginning. Just have one light that is perfect for the bike and perfect as a headlamp. ❗

English subtitles available - All those technical terms are translated correctly, but it took work!

We are celebrating 10 years of our company, the story began in November 2014, when I decided to produce the best headlamps in the world.

I bought a CNC milling machine and at the end of the year I had my first line of Lucifer M headlamps. I probably don't need to explicitly write that it was extremely demanding, you faced challenges and problems that you couldn't have imagined before. Endless hours at the CNC machine, programming in CAD, inventing electronic circuits or soldering prototypes. All this without a big investment at the beginning. It was a really challenging period, but you believed that if you work hard, success would come.

Now, after 10 years, we have a small established company, with many customers in the Czech Republic and neighboring European countries. We have professionalized everything, we produce quickly and accurately with modern tools and we cooperate with local companies that also do a perfect job.

I dare say that we have perfected our headlamps. At any time in the past and now we are one step ahead of the vast majority of other headlamps, in terms of light output/burn time/weight, reliability or versatility. We also produce the most powerful headlamp that permanently cools its maximum power even when running.

I understand that this is a forum where there are many people from the USA and you also have your favorite brand, but believe me, everything I wrote is true and if you are even slightly considering a new light, you now have a unique opportunity. We do not normally give discounts, but for our 10th anniversary we are now offering you a 10% discount and a 10-year warranty, just enter the code LUCIFER after viewing the cart. Only a few days left, so don't hesitate!
