Hi All. thought i would share what i got up to this afternoon......
i bought a dual cycle lumenator set from Justin about 3 weeks ago, and just got round to installing and wiring them up on the trike today.
i have had a single lumenator on a previous ebike, and loved that one. these are the newer ones with the improved optics and mount.
i decided against the remote switched ones, as i planned to run a remote switch anyway, and the included ones are not long enough for trike duties.
i picked up a motorcycle style light switch, mounted that to the bars and the end result is below.....
switch
2000 lumens of greatness. i suspect that the lumen rating on these is VERY conservative indeed.
i have a glowworm X2 on my helmet, the X2 is rated at 1200 lumens, and that's a genuine 1200 lm, yet the lumenators seem brighter.
yes, each one is brighter than the X2. ( or seems that way anyway) to say im happy with the results is an understatement.
so now, on my commute for the section of about 7km of unlit cycle path each night, i can effectively ride in daylight
with all of my forward lighting on the highest settings, ill be pushing out well over 3200 lumens. 2000lm (conservative) from the lumenators, 1200lm from the X2 and the 80 lux from the hub driven headlight.
cant recommend these lumenators highly enough.
i will try to get some video one night this coming week on my way home from work. looking forward to seeing just how much light these throw down range.
Jason.
