Vision X XIL-SHANDLEBAR Solstice Solo Handle Bar Mount with Flat Mounting Adapter Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This light will be the last light you ever need. Small, incredibly bright, and draws very little power (0.75 amps). I picked one up about two years ago, use it with the handlebar mount for night bike rides, it blows every other light away plenty of light for off roading at night. They're made in 3 beam patterns, flood, euro (between flood & spot), & spot, I've got the euro beam. Lights up a bright 5 foot wide path as close as 10 feet in front of me with plenty of peripheral light. Total distance of the beam is very very far. I rigged a handle for the light to use it for night fishing too, works great my friends are amazed at how bright this little light is. It won't replace a Q Beam for spotting, but if anything needs to be lit up within 300 feet you're better off with the Solstice due to the wider beam.
The company makes offroad lighting equipment, it's vibration tested as well as water proof to 3 meters, made with an aluminum housing & stainless hardware.
I bought a 14 volt, 2600 mah lithium ion battery to power it which is about the size of my wallet, runs almost 3 hours before shutting down. Anything between 9 & 50 volts can be used to power this light so you can hook it straight up to a boat battery.
The only downside to this light would be that it might be a bit on the heavy side to use mounted on a bike helmet, and I'm not sure how to hook up a dimming switch to run it on a hi-low setting, right now it's all or nothing.
