Let's see... here we go
okay, that wasn't planned!
Let's take a picture!
Hey everybody, welcome or welcome back!
It's usually hot sunny days like today when we're heading back outside for some sweet night riding.
This year I'm using a 2 light setup, one of my helmet, one on the bike from Magicshine
let's take a closer look at them!
First one is called MJ-902s,
this has a whopping 3000 lumens,
and the award winning ALLTY1000, a smaller light
that I want to install on the helmet
with one of these available helmet mount accessories.
This little light can be found under Road Lights and actually won an award in 2019 for design.
It has daytime running light included, something that's very familiar to Canadians
and here on the back you see the rest of the specs.
Interestingly, this attaches to a Garmin-like mount and is manufactured in China.
Interesting design of the packaging, you see that quarter turn from Garmin even here on the cardboard
and here's the ALLTY1000!
In the box you're getting the micro-USB charger, you see the port right here,
you get a bar mount that is adjustable,
attach it there and then you use the provided 3 millimeter to tighten it to your bar
and you get this GoPro mount that would work with the light as well
and finally you're getting a few extra of these flexible bands.
The one already installed works perfectly on a 31.8 mm handlebar
and you see the position, slightly in front of the bar,
would clear up the stem and yes, this will get installed just like your Garmin GPS.
Click!
As usual with lights like this, the housing is made out of aluminum and it actually acts like a heatsink.
You see my other LEZYNE lights that I've been using for a while and you can also see how slim this is.
And light and the mount come up to 145 grams which is pretty good.
Operation is very simple and very very similar to my old LEZYNE lights.
You have this big mama button, it's not that raised compared to the LEZYNE but I think you can operate this with gloves no problem.
If you just press on it it's going to show you the charge, a long press is going to turn on the light as expected.
As you press again you're going to cycle through the low, medium, and high,
double click here and you're going to get the flashing LED.
I think you have one more version of that, here it goes.
Long press is going to turn it off.
You have that cluster of LEDs at the top for Daylight Running Lights
and you see the actual main LED at the bottom.
You can have that Daytime Running Light ON by itself.
However the other models would be used for normal riding, low, medium, and high,
And have the little light pretty much ready to go.
Interestingly the helmet mount has a tilt adjustment built in with a tightening knob,
very similar to what GoPro would provide, that's well thought out
And the light, now is fully charged,
it takes 5 hours to charge and you can hope to get 108 minutes, that's at the maximum intensity of 1000 lumens.
So now I can focus on my big 3000 lumens MJ-902s light.
By the way, Magicshine was generous in offering a discount code for you guys watching this video
and if you want to take advantage of that, use the code in the description on their website
This is a high power, wide bike light with 32 degrees of beam spread as opposed to 21 degrees of this little guy,
and this is made to work on bikes and e-bikes alike,
you can see the automatic selection between 6 and 12 V depending on what your e-bike uses.
It also includes a Daytime Running Light so I guess you can run this on the street
and here at the bottom you get a few of the specifications pretty cryptic using these little icons.
This light is built to be modular with an external battery pack, high capacity 7.2 volt 7000 mA battery.
This seemes to be exactly the same mount as used for the other lights, same with the GoPro adapter, Allen key,
tiny user manual, charging cable, micro-USB again
and here you're gonna actually get the cable that connects the light to your big battery pack.
Battery pack that can be secured into place with these provided straps.
On both ends you can connect different things.
On this side you're gonna have the actual connector for your light and you can see that plug where your light is gonna connect.
The provided cable it's about 40-ish centimeters long, and you get another 30 cm all the way to the light.
This should be good enough if you're just attaching it to your handlebar or even if you put it in your backpack.
At the other end you see a Power button and the sign of an USB connector.
Press the Power button and this is gonna give you the status of the battery pack,
but open this rubber cover and you're gonna see the charging port right here in the middle,
that button that we just pressed, and this is a USB port so you can use this as a battery pack to recharge your electronics.
The light itself is where the magic happens, you see that Daylight Running Light up top,
you have two LEDs this time, you have the same cutouts in the housing for a wider spread of that light beam,
and if you're just running that Daytime Running Light you can expect this to last about 42 hours,
1.5h on full, high energy blast.
ALLTY1000 is going to give you a visual indicator of how much battery is left.
You have that ability on this MJ-902s, however that little power button is here at the bottom if you remember
so you have to reach down and see how much battery is left.
And light and battery together are 374 grams, with the light by itself being only 80 grams so very light.
And I know everybody reads the user manual but in case you didn't,
here's your 2 year warranty for the product, register on their website for an extra 6 months.
And if you're struggling with the many modes of this bigger light they're here in the manual as well
but let me get these lights installed and finally hit the trails!
9:15 pm at night
temperatures cool down quite a bit, perfect timing for a ride.
And yes, which light I'm using right now???
And if you guessed the 1000 lumens one you were correct!
I don't have the 3000 turned on yet
And here's the trail with both my lights,
you can see my helmet light going left to right
my 3000 goes straight ahead. Plenty, plenty of light no matter where you're going.
Helmet light first
minimum, medium
this is high intensity, not bad at all!
This is the little ALTTY1000, look at this
Let's turn on the handlebar light, look at that
some serious lights man
No worries whatsoever with the 2 lights,
there's a little ledge
Okay so if it wasn't clear from my commentary
I think I really like this 2 light combo.
This little guy it's very powerful, that 3000 makes a difference,
add to it the fact that you get 2 years warranty plus the 6 months
you get the discount code down in the description
and what can I say before I'm eaten alive by the mosquitoes?
This is a very good 2 light combo, I would definitely recommend it,
Magicshine has a lot of products, take a look at them,
use that discount code in the description,
let me know if you have any comments and if you like stuff like this,
don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment, really helps my channel!
So until next time, hope to see you guys on the trails
why not night riding?
cheers guys, cheers!
I hope that looked good enough,
this is fun, awesome lights!
