Exposure Joystick MK15 Front Bike Light - Black

Product Information

I’d also like to see Exposure switch to a more common Micro USB or USB-C charge port rather than the proprietary port it uses. Cycling to work is a very rewarding and physically stimulating way of getting to work. Beating the soul crush of driving and the busy crunch of public transport, cycling is great for the mind and the body. Big brands are typically a good place to put your money, and these companies pay lots of money to professional cyclists to advertise their goods. Of course, this doesn’t mean buy the most expensive items, but it does mean to think about if the price tag has more to do with the bragging rights than the actual quality of the product. However, every product is different, and every brand has its budget products and big flops. Make sure to research the exact product you’re looking at to see if the quality is worthy of the brand it represents. Don’t go for the cheapest thing

The included mount is fiddly to install, comprising four pieces: two parts to the mount body, a 4mm hex bolt and an appropriate handlebar shim.The fact is, though, on paper at least, the MK13 is an identical twin of the MK12, so MK12 users needn't be thinking about upgrading. In fact, if you can get hold of a MK12 (which were also available in some snazzy colours at one point last year) at a cheaper price, I'd be urging you to do so and not worry about the fact that you don't have the latest one – it's not like you can tell.

Smart Port Technology +: Smart Port+ enables the charge port to accept auxiliary accessories such as rear lights, remote switches, Support Cells and use your light as a power bank to charge USB devices. Ridiculously lightweight at just 93grams, you’ll only notice it's mounted on your helmet by the 1100 lumens of super-sharp focused light, ready to smash through your higher-powered bar light. Up to 36 hours of Joy, this lightweight lighthouse can be easily charged by a USB power bank on those serious multiday adventures. Features: Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Lights.With the light turned off, you hold the ‘Function’ button down until it emits a series of flashes. You then repeatedly press the Function button to cycle through the programs, before stopping at the one you want. The audax began at 5.30am, so I had to use the light for the first couple of hours and then again after 7pm until I arrived home at 11pm. The item is your responsibility until it reaches us. For your own protection, we recommend that you send the parcel using a delivery service that insures you for the value of the goods. There are hundreds upon hundreds of brands in bicycling. From budget to billionaire worthy, the range in prices can vary significantly.

When using the built-in Optimised Mode Selector, there are 10 modes to choose from. David Caudery / Our Media Compared to some other Reflex-capable Exposure lights, the Race Mk17 is a little lower-powered, suggesting the differences might not be as pronounced as Alex Evans has noted, for example in his Exposure MaXx-D Mk15 review.Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable goods such as food, flowers, newspapers or magazines cannot be returned. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases. Although I experimented with the three Reflex modes, I settled on using the fixed-lumen modes for the majority of testing. To return your product, you should mail your product to: 2A Balmoral Link, Belfast, BT12 6QB, United Kingdom. It's certainly a light that prioritises the focus of its beam over a wide peripheral vision, but that's okay, especially when you have the light installed on your helmet so that it points where you point your head. Understandably, its target user isn't only a roadie, but a gravel and even mountain bike rider looking for focused vision out on the fire road or trail. Patented circuitry within the light will reduce power to the LEDs, if they go beyond the optimum temperature, keeping the light as efficient as possible to maximise output and battery capacity. Once cooled the output is automatically restored.

If the items we have sent you are faulty, damaged or not as we described, we will cover the cost of collection and the delivery of the correct item. All of the aforementioned lights incorporate the brand’s Reflex Technology, a feature where the light’s output is adjusted automatically based on your effort and road or trail conditions. Intelligent Thermal Management: Patented circuitry within the light will reduce power to the LEDs, if they go beyond the optimum temperature, keeping the light as efficiently as possible to maximise output and battery capacity. Once cooled the output is automatically restored. That 1,000lm is more than enough output for anyone (albeit with the limitation of a narrow focused beam), while it doubles as a compact and handy torch too. The 3,100mAh capacity battery yields an impressive battery burn-time as Mike discovered last year, with the 15% incremental LED life indicators. We will be unable to accept the return of any item where there is evidence that these instructions have not been followed.

At Chain Reaction Cycles we found 89 products from Exposure, of which 72 were in the Lights category. Safety should always come first. You should never skimp when buying bicycle gear because it could one day save your life. You (hopefully) would never cut corners on your helmet, so you shouldn’t act any differently to the rest of your gear. If the in-built accelerometers detect you’re riding fast or over bumps, the light will increase its output. Likewise, it will intuitively dim on slower sections, such as climbs.
