The two-piece design of the Gloworm Alpha won’t suit everyone, but the lightweight performance, versatility, reliability, tuneability and included accessories bundle make it an awesome night riding investment for most applications. If you're looking for the most lumens possible, the Moon Canopus may be an ideal solution. Having long run times to play with partially offsets the fact it only gives basic charge and run-time information, too, but we’d definitely prefer a more communicative setup. The fact it’s USB charged rather than needing a separate specific charger adds convenience and reduces cost. It also comes with an extension cable and a helmet mount. The connectors and leads are all heavy-duty too, as is the ‘out front’ style handlebar mount. It also adds a lot of weight to the system but it’s also very crash-proof. ![]() This gets twin straps and guide loops to keep it stable but the sheer length may cause fit issues on some curvy frames. These give impressive three- and four-hour run times from the long alloy body battery pack. That’s overkill for most trail conditions, though, so we generally ran it in the 2,500- and 1,600-lumen modes. The four-LED body sits in the center of a large alloy heat sink case which reduces the risk of overheating (causing an automatic power drop) or burnt fingers when running at the 3,600-lumen max. That adds some bulk and potential frame mount issues but if you want Enduro power lighting with the toughness to match then it’s well worth a look. Our only gripe is that there is very limited low battery communication, but considering the price and battery life on offer, we still think this is a great light.įor more details, check out our full Magicshine RN3000 review.Ĭanopus is the latest big power light from Moon and it’s a heavily armored setup in terms of battery and head unit, too. We opted to set it in the middle power setting which still pushes plenty of lumens for nighttime riding without needing to worry about battery life. The bright, broad beam output is enough to ride without compromise even in complex situations. Run times are decent as well, and we found the RN3000 can pump out the 3,000 max lumen output for around 2 hours 19 minutes. USB-C charges the device as well as functioning as a power bank if you can spare some juice from the 10,000 mAh battery. It's packed with neat features too – the IPX6 waterproof rating keeps the rain out, while opting for a neat quarter-turn mount makes things simple and secure. Things like the full metal body, side ribs and laser-etched logos mean the RN3000 feels far more premium than it actually is. ![]() Magicshine makes some of the best budget mountain bike lights, it's not just a high lumen output for a low cash input that makes them shine either.
