Product Information

Advantages:

8500 lumens brightness – stable and reliable

World-class low weight of the lamp head: 115 grams and battery: 380 grams. 

Full blast: 9000 lumens as long as there is enough cooling. 

Automatic regulation – dims down when the lamp gets hot

The light head is compatible with Gopro mounts. We have received feedback that some versions of the Gopro mount need to be filed down 1 mm to fit perfectly. You simply remove the mount the light comes with and then you can mount it together with the Gopro click part. Our own mount is a version of Garmin's mount, but with 4 "arms" for locking instead of 2 "arms". The battery has the same mounting system. 

Grunder's personal thoughts on the light: With a 5x7 cm light head and a weight of 115 grams, it's the first time I've used the same light type of powerful light up and down the mountain on a summit hike. The light head is so light that I didn't think about it and strength 1, which is the lowest level, gave a ridiculously good light with good dispersion for the ascent. When I was up on the mountain, I just twisted the light head straight out of the elastic and slid the elastic down into the bag. Clicked the light onto the helmet and was ready to drive down. Incredibly cool not having to change the light. Full throttle was simply a joy to drive in. And no super strong spot right in front of me, just lots of lovely cool light that made it possible to drive on like in daylight! It even removes flat light. This is the light for you who really want to be able to drive on. Perfect for scooter driving (removes flat light), ATV driving, Orienteering, Motocross and all activities where you just want as much light as possible.
