AW19 MOON METEOR STORM LITE, Black

Product Information

The Meteor Storm Dual recharges in just 2.5 hours thanks to the fast-charging USB-C cable. It shows the charge level on the top of the light and the unit will disconnect from the charging current when fully charged—to avoid battery damage. The handlebar mount is strong and rigid with no noticeable flexing or movement. It's only compatible with 35mm diameter bars, but an extra shim is available for narrower bars. The protective rubber layer is only secured at one end, so was annoying to keep it in the centre when mounting, but not a big complaint. The hand-tightened screw made it easy for removal if you're frequently changing bikes.

When it comes to weatherproofing, I also didn't have any issues. It's been pretty wet of late and I've been caught out in many torrential downpours. It can all be a bit daunting to start with, but you soon get used to what all of the light patterns mean on the top of the light. Weatherproofing For the quality of the build, the outputs and battery life, the Meteor Dual is a good option for money, in my eyes.The helmet mount is a standard Velcro strap with padding to protect your helmet. The addition of a hand tightening angle adjuster allows you to set the light how you like. Included is a 'remote' which plugs into the charging port. It attaches to the side of the helmet with Velcro, allowing you to change modes without having to reach to the very top of the light. How waterproof? We douse each light in a shower for five minutes, making sure each is subject to a steady stream of water droplets from every angle. The Moon Meteor is a compact and relatively well made front light, offering 400 lumens in its highest steady setting, along with a 500-lumen daytime flash. Provided you're not calling on the full 400 too regularly, run-times are favourable, and it makes a decent dynamo companion, too. The "lion's share" (no pun intended) of comet dust can be found just ahead and trailing behind Tempel-Tuttle. That comet last swept through the inner solar system in 1998. That's why spectacular meteor showers were seen in 1999, 2001 and 2002, with declining numbers thereafter.

Flash 1 gives 100 lumens which is enough to get you noticed in an urban environment at night, with a 400-lumen Flash 2 to get you noticed in the daylight. The battery will last 125hrs for Flash 1 and 220hrs for Flash 2 – its flash pattern means that the LED isn't on as much as Flash 1. After waiting a few weeks of the test period, I finally woke up to a foggy dark morning with very poor visibility... Performance 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. Currently using the earlier white-only version and it is a good light and i would buy one again for sure. The ability to programme modes would be an added bonus for sure, my one is a scroll through the options version, though at least the flash and steady mode are kept seperate. I have dropped it a good few times and it is still running well.We feel this is a more accurate weight, as you'll be carrying these attachments with you on the light when it isn't attached to your bike. The different types of front bike lights To operate, the Storm took a bit of learning. With many lights you simply switch them on and cycle through the modes. With the Storm you switch it on it and can cycle through five modes, but to switch between steady and flashing you have to hold the power button down for two seconds. To do this it passes through the 'off' setting (a one-second hold), which means you really need to be somewhere lit or stationary if you want to swap on the move.
