Can it destroy cagers ?

Nice. Couldn't do some shots of it in the dark later? Wondering how it compares with cateye el1000/1100.

 

[BentMikey]

Apparently it's not quite Dinotte rear light standard, but it blows away the Cateyes by a very large margin.

Oh I don't doubt it. Just interested. I was quite fascinated how well my el1000 held up in the deep continuous fogs of last week.

I noticed there was a BLT front on Wiggle as well .. anyone got any experience of those. Not that I have space on my bars for anything else.

Can we have some photos of it on in the dark please. I'm always looking to add to my arsenal of lights!

Excellent news. I've been thinking of one of these as a backup to my dinotte, and to use when I'm going to be leaving my bike locked up.
Hows the fitting?

You can see some photos on yacf.co.uk - do a search.

Bit like the Mars 4.0 then.....eye wateringly bright....

 

[a_n_t]

will you not catch your leg on that?

 

[BentMikey]

Not me sunbeam, my bike doesn't have a seatpost, or indeed a saddle.

 

[fossyant]

Armchair - lazy !!

Can it destroy cagers ?

No… but apparently they can chop pigeons in half at a range of 50 yards

Nice choice mikey…. Think I’ll be putting that on the birthday list…

I got one of these back in april - see link

previous post here

Did have issues mounting it on my seat post, but after some botching with a reflector and using the mount from that got it to be ok.

But as someone already said, i caught my legs on it when it was on the seat post. Not a bad light, magnetic switch (can be v.fussy) and mounting let it down.

Id be interested to see any videos or pictures of the mars 4!!
