Dug out the MagicShine for winter. 1000 lumen 3 mode jobbie, with the big recharable battery pack. I have the rear light two.
Brilliant for unlit roads. As the lower setting gives enough beam. Then you have the luxury of knowing you can turn it up.
Exploring some new off-road trails last night. I got in a bit over my head (do that a lot). Needed full beam. Which worked OK. But I was very aware that I could'nt go any brighter, and that if anything quit on me I'd be walking.
Thinking of getting a second 900 lumen lamp. But with a smaller battery pack. So I can run both fronts off my big pack, and the rear off the new smaller one. Giving me a lot more redundency, with little added cost or weight.
I already have a splitter cable. So the front should be fine, and I cant see why my rear wont run off the new smaller battery.
So it'll work. .....or am I missing something?
