AW19 MOON METEOR STORM LITE, Black

Product Information

For the quality of the build, the outputs and battery life, the Meteor Dual is a good option for money, in my eyes. Suited to various terrains and lighting conditions the Meteor Storm Lite Light comes with a huge range of light modes that can easily be switched between to find the best lighting to suit you. The Matrix LED display screen makes it easy to see what mode you’re in.

The modes themselves have something for just about all situations, with the maximum 800-lumen setting enough for dark roads and lanes, and the varying flashing modes ideal for low light or day use. One of the five flashing modes is an emergency pattern, signalling SOS in morse code. 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 light’s plethora of modes means that it isn’t especially intuitive to master without studying the instructions carefully. Once the way it works is imprinted into your mind, operation isn’t hugely challenging, though. The battery indicator works well and it remained in boost mode until nearing the very end of its battery’s capacity, only reducing its output once the last battery indicator LED started flashing.I used this on PBP with a cache battery and running at setting 3 (around 300/400w) on mine lasted through the night, so three topups and I was well lit for four nights running. I have never used 1200w on the road. Setting 3 was good enough for unknown roads at decent speeds. The Meteor has two LEDs. One is a 'warm white' (3000K) on the Kelvin Scale of measuring colour temperature, which is basically quite yellowish, while the other is 'cool white' sitting at around 6500K. In Moon's large range of bike lights, the Storm Lite slots in at the bottom of the Storm range, offering only slightly lower outputs than the top two but no fewer features.

There are hundreds upon hundreds of brands in bicycling. From budget to billionaire worthy, the range in prices can vary significantly. 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.

Moon Rigel Max Front Light

In total, of the 6004 products, 2495 products cost more than Moon Meteor Storm Lite 1300 Lumen Front Light and 3453 cost less. Cycling 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. You might be a cycling newbie or a relative De-France competitor, but anyone can fall victim to the common buying mistakes when it comes to cycling gear. Unfortunately, while the internet makes shopping easier than ever before, it has also increased the difficulty for newcomers to discern the good from the bad. The Moon Meteor Storm Pro is a well made all-in-one light with more modes than you probably need, making it great for all conditions both on and off road.

Run-times were spot on as advertised, and pretty good too for the size of the light. Running boost mode permanently will kill the battery in an hour, but the modes I used the most, 600-lumen steady and day flash, gave 2 hours and up to 65 hours respectively, more than enough for the riding I do at this time of year. With mixed use I got three days or so from the light before it needed a charge, with that handy LED panel showing the battery level in 20% increments. The front bike light should always be positioned as close to the centre of the bike's handlebars as possible. Make sure the light is attached tightly and securely so it won't budge as you roll over bumps in the road.

For our battery test, we wanted to do something a little different and recreate a scenario that all cyclists will have faced. The dreaded flat battery test. For this we: After ranking each light for how well it illuminates the road and its surroundings, it's interesting to note that lights with higher claimed lumen output aren't always better at lighting up the way while you're riding. Bright white LEDs trump the older yellowish halogen bulbs pretty much everywhere except when it is foggy. Even on their lowest settings all you end up with is a load of glare as it lights up the cloud in front of you rather than the road. All of the lights were put through a bevvy of tests including durability, visibility, battery life and more.
