Description
Extremely bright Solarc? 10W HID light (equivalent to 50W Halogen) which mounts directly onto the front plate of the new Hope Stem (or others with our aftermarket plates) This rigid mounting allows you to set the light exactly where you want it and it?ll stay there, until you decide to reposition it.
The small Li-Ion battery pack also mounts underneath the stem front plate with a short wire between the two. This battery has built-in charge, discharge and short circuit protection. The connectors are fully sealed and totally waterproof (IP67). The light has a simple on/off push switch on the back.
In tests the 14.8v Li-ion battery will last for a minimum of 2.5hrs burn time with the intelligent charger returning that in just 3 hours. The clip system holding the battery also allows for quick changes - ideal for Endurance racing or those longer winter rides when you don?t want to be standing around getting cold and struggling with wires and fastenings.
All housings are CNC machined from solid aluminium billet and feature excellent waterproof sealing.

Reviews
Pros: Amazingly bright light, great quality manufacturing.
Cons: HID fragility reputation but half the price of Betty LEDs.
Recommendation: Great for the price but when the new Hope 4 LED arrives in 2008 I think this will be the one to beat. Wish they announced before I bought this but a great light.

Recommendation: While this was a great light back in the day, it's been replaced with brighter, more energy efficient LED lamps.
