We used to use HIDs for riding mountain bikes off road at night. Now LED technology has progressed such that HID is no longer necessary. Albeit HID are still brighter, LEDs are lighter and better on battery life....which is good for cycling purposes

I also am a cyclist, however more of a roading but I did buy quite a expensive HID Bicycle Light made in Germany from BUSCH & Muller that was around USD$1500.00 However they did not sell very many of these and in about 3 years they stopped making them but still to this day make top quality cycling lighting..

i carry a similar one daily, the e1L with kx1b head putting out 3/80 lumens. I love that thing and the 1000+ lumen fury in my gear bag.

I always wanted one of those World War II carbon arc searchlights to mess around with. If I get my hands on one I'll post it.

They definitely know a thing or two about high standard manufacture

Light Monkey HID
I bought this Light Monkey used off Craigslist...typically they are some $ 1200.00 new.
Just a replacement bulb is $ 250.00. Excellent lights for scuba diving. |

This is 2 years late but those arc lights were used in Hollywood to announce movie openings for many years. You can probably still buy them from prop houses or places like that, tucked in a back corner.

Well, you need to amend your first post and the thread title then. Also, you have posted photos of your bike mounted lights or do you just make up the rules of who can post to your threads as you go?

Now you can get powerful flashlights but they can be so powerful the heat they generate can start a fire, so more powerful isn't necessarily better. Olight make a 1000+ lumen pocket carry and for me its 'amazing'. It has multiple levels and it ticks about every box you can think of, and its in Rolex Green. Check it out:

Some of my lights.
Not high end but each have their features. Some for spot beams 600 - 1000 metres. Some for high fill light. My favourite so far for size v performance is the Olight Warrior X Pro and I have just ordered two more in ‘Camo’. One as a back up for work and one for my son. The Warrior has a #21700, 5 Amp battery with magnetic base charging and has an amazing performance for its size both in distance (rated 600 metres) and coverage. The TM 06 second from right was my favourite but has a high parasitic drain and I have to keep it in its case with the base almost unscrewed or it discharges one of the four batteries in about 3 months and that is no good for battery voltage balance. Gratuitous pix of the 14060 with the Warrior X Pro for size comparison.
