Product Information

At maximum 5,000 and 4,000 lumens modes it’s an astonishingly powerful light, but we were also impressed by how this power is put to use. The two spot LEDs illuminate the trail ahead brilliantly, while the three flood LEDs provide unrivalled side-to-side and forward visibility.

It misses out on a five-star rating because it’s pretty expensive and the beam spread isn’t quite perfect, but if you need this sort of power you’ll be very impressed. Featuring a double beam to help you both see and be seen, the Specialized Flux 850 Headlight gives you 180-degree visibility thanks to the bright sidelights. Lights with multiple lenses or beam reflectors can combine spot and flood outputs, with the further option to toggle between them. In theory, lights with both beam patterns are the best of both worlds. Beam comparison The Volt 6000 is perfect if your shuttle vehicle is a Porsche. Kidding. Get this beast if night riding is life and you want a super wide beam angle that makes it impossible for sneaky bears to jump out at you from the side of the trail. As you can see they are different, but not to the extent found on some other lights, for example the Ravemen PR1600 that's one of our current favourites. That light has a flattened beam pattern on one lens to reduce glare for oncoming traffic; both of the Magicshine's beams are round, so you end up throwing a fair bit of your light at the sky.

The Magicshine Seemee V2.0 is a bright rear light offering a maximum of 60 lumens in constant mode and 200 lumens in its day flash mode. For easily dimming the light while riding, a handy wired remote button allows you to change modes without having to move from your riding position on the handlebar. For urban commuting, 200 lumens should be sufficient. We would suggest a front light with a minimum of 400 lumens for riding on unlit roads. The V2.0’s predecessor, the MagicShine Monteer 8000S Galaxy, also scored a full five stars last year and is worth consideration.

The intermediate settings are well thought-out and, although we’d prefer a slightly smoother transition between these, it is possible to programme the light to suit your needs. The AMPP 800 has a bright, wide beam and the rear light has a clever system that uses two separate LEDs that enable you to run the light flashing and constant at the same time.Magicshine's 2nd bike headlight with built in DRL (Daytime Running Light.) Ideal for both road and mountain with its highly adjustable brightness and flash modes at 200 - 2000 lumens. Magicshine’s Monteer 8000S Galaxy V2.0 Remote mountain bike front light scores full marks. Ian Linton / Our Media In 2,700-lumen Reflex++ mode, run time is a generous three hours. The aluminium unit is IP65-rated and has a two-year warranty; the LEDs are guaranteed for life. Unlike a lot of other lights, it comes with a range of accessories, making the hefty price tag a bit more palatable. The fact that it can also be linked into a system with other Gloworm lights makes it a very attractive option for anyone interested in the ecosystem as a whole.
