Light & Motion ARC NiMH

This light comes with a 9 cell NiMH Battery giving it 3 hours runtime on the brighter 13.5watt/675 Lumens setting or 3.5hours if you drop it down to the 10watt/550Lumens level. This gives a enough light to head out for decent night ride and then it can be recharged in 3.5 hours with the turbo charger. The battery does come in a bit heavy at 660g but the light can be either handle bar mounted or our favourite the helmet mount system.

Our on our test rides we found this to give plenty of light, the light mounting kept it solid enough over rough terrain. We kept it on the high light setting and it lasted long enough for us (still bright at 2.45hours). Although there are brighter lights out on the market this one offers great value for money so comes recommended for a more affordable but still capable system. For longer runtimes this can also be upgraded to the Lithium Ion Ultra battery pack.
