Moon Meteor Vortex Pro Front 1300 Lumen Cycle Light

Product Information

The mode display changes colour to let you know where you are, and sitting just in front of that is the battery display which changes from blue through red as the power drops. Where does it say in my post that I point it down? I aim it up the road to see where I am going and where the road goes. When did you use this particular light that you are running down, I would suspect that you have never tried it which, if that is the case, would make your points meaningless.

The default settings are listed in the Test Report below, but VLS means you can change the output of the 750 and 120-lumen constant modes and the three flash modes, Flash 1 (100 lumens), Steady Flash (200 lumens) and Day Flash (400 lumens). You can set these to anywhere between 20 and 750 lumens, by doing this: Controlling the light is no different to many others, with just a single button for operation, which also displays mode and battery life.Although the two Allen bolts that attach the clamp to the bar are only 2.5mm, the clamp is very secure. Its out-front style also looks sleek, with the main bulk of the unit sitting next to and slightly in front of the stem. Otherwise, press once to power up, then subsequent single prods change mode, double for boost. Depress the button for a few seconds to switch to the flashing modes. The Meteor Storm Pro has a remote, bar mount and helmet mount in the box. Alex Evans Moon Meteor Storm Pro bottom line

For the size of the unit, though, I'm pretty impressed by the output. Visibility is good when used alone, even on unlit roads under tree cover. The beam is nicely direct, illuminating what you need to see, with very little wasted power out of the sides. Finance is subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.

The front half of the body is made from aluminium, which easily resists being dropped onto the road without issue. I would like to see a better warranty though: one year for workmanship or material defects and a mere 120 days for the battery doesn't seem long enough to me.FL1 and FL2 are simple flash modes with 20 lumen and 100 lumen respectively, with FL3 offering a 400-lumen flash while the LED stays on at 20 lumen output. It's similar to Exposure's pulse mode where the light never actually goes out. The rubber shims for fine-tuning the bar fit don’t have any grooves, so tend to splay outwards as the clamp is tightened and look untidy, although this doesn’t affect clamp performance and the light proved to be very stable over rough terrain.

You also get a wired remote control which connects to the light via the USB-C charging port. I've found that being able to change modes while keeping your hands on the hoods makes life a lot easier. I use the Ravemen PR1600 on my winter road bike, and being able to switch between dipped/high beam easily when interacting with oncoming traffic is great. Unfortunately, the Rigel Enduro isn’t intuitive to operate. I wasn’t able to just start using the light, and couldn’t access the Boost function without studying the instruction manual first. There is a charging indicator to show when the light is full, and when in use the three bars drop to two at 65% capacity, one bar at 30% capacity and then a single, flashing bar at 10%. Mount You can tweak the lumen output using Moon's VLS – Variable Lumen System – giving you a fully customisable setup that you can tweak for high performance or battery saving. I found all the flash modes really effective. The Flash 1 and Steady Flash certainly grab the attention of other roads users in low light, while the mode designated solely for day use lasts 61 hours (on the default 400 lumen setting). That's a great duration for a striking, 'be-seen' mode.Despite the Moon Meteor Storm Pro feeling much brighter than its claimed lumen output, the beam’s pattern is especially focused even when it’s operating in the mixed beam mode. The Vortex consistently charges from flat in about four hours – more than the claimed 3.4hrs – via the supplied USB C cable. That it has a yellow trim is great - it stands out from all the other charging cables, and helps you avoid taking the wrong one.
