Light Meter charts and comparison table available here.
Description:
The V4 Adventure set includes both helmet lights and bar lights.
Light Meter Measurements:
Lux measurements were 34 Lux for the wider bar light and 33 Lux for the helmet light. This is fairly accurate with its 400 lumen claims. This
Strengths:
This was fantastic light set last year only held back by a narrow bar light beam pattern. This year though these XRE emitters show their age as they are outclassed by the new crop of Cree XPG powered lights.
It's still a good lightweight XC racer set but we'll have to knock the rating a couple ticks just because the LEDs were not updated.
