A Lupine Betty comes pretty close to that. They cost a lot though. I've got one and I think it was worth every cent; a lovely light.Why can we not have the equivalent of a car/motorcycle headlight?
Something as bright as one above for a high beam, with the trapezoidal shape of a B&M and a button under the thumb for a high/low function.
Or am I asking too much?
Let you off... Well it arrived today. I take your point about the connections and vents. The light itself seems pretty decent though. Will have to see how it goes longer term with the weather
The batteries are shrink wrapped anyway.
Torchy told me it would be fine, but it deffo looks a bit suspect. However it doesnt take much to improve the weather proofing considerably. Tape the "vents" and seal around where the lens screws on with electrical tape (if black you can barely notice) and then take off the mount (single screw) push vaseline around where the cables go in, a nice big glob of it, then replace the mount, clean away any that gets squeezed out and it should be good to go!
This should hopefully be fine, just check it doesn't get too hot with the heatsink taped as these high power LED's can kick off some heat. Cold winter should prevent overheating and it is for sure okay for journeys of a few mile, tested it over 4 mile.
