er, that's weird. i can easily get iluminox lights from LBS

Its not what I use is the best. I have tried a few types. Those chinese LED light with single led is just not bright enough. The may be good for riding on the road, or in the park, but if you want to go into trails at night, you really want something that is really bright.

I have wasted a lot of money on lights and in the end I find the Solarstorm solution as the one I would use. My friends use Rm500 Magicshine which is really awesome but I won't go that route.

But then again, bright is a relative term. To some its bright but to others it might not be bright enough. My night ride group are mostly using Cateye or Magicshine which are some of the most expensive led light and I know what bright is.

End of the day, this forum is about sharing and I am sharing my experiences.

any light above 800 lumens is good.

I guess having a light is good enough for a start.

if you want bright, get the magicshine 1600 lumens, rm 400++ but its more than enough

sure or not.... Not even four figure lumen rating

nooooooooouuuu
sure or not this model not bright enough
nvm ill take it as experience

and about price, ill never go above rm200 for now, deswai at 1st im aiming cateye volt200
but with 200lm sure not enough, so i just try oem china just 1/2 price from budget


too bad i just ordered b4 read ur post

the weight also, i want my bike light as possible. haha

i bought from fb, search fd_bicycle

No problem. Like you say, its a learning experience.

anyone done night ride KDCF? Any review?

thanks mate, fd_bicycle will find it..

most if the time i just become silent reader because of some people here like to reply mcam samseng, if face to face sure i tampar punya. no need to be cocky. dats all.
but nevermind 😝 , a good experience is shared. bad experience as warning to others.

Hi everyone. Stumbled on this thread a few weeks back. A beginner rider for abt 2mths now.



Question... I'm torn between these two bikes since I gotten more info while reading here. These two bikes are almost in the same price range, both equally popular brands but differ slightly by their group set.

A) Scott Scale 770 (2017)
b) Polygon Siskiu 7 27.5 (not sure whether it's 2016 or 2017)

The overall features on Polygon seems to be better than Scott and the Scott... the only thing I feel or looks better is the frame. Initially I was about to settle on the Scott till I read about one forumer recently purchased a Polygon.

Do indulge me with your knowledge fellow sifu/vets? Thx

Currently, I'm doing night riding only(road & housing area) as I seldom have the time to do morning/evening rides even over the weekend. Here are the 2 lights I have used for my night riding.

1. XML Cree T6 U2 5000lm (USB)


Pro:
- cheap (got it for less than RM50)
- can be used with any powerbank
- quite bright (though the actual lumens is about 400lm not 1500 or 5000lm like they advertise)

Cons:
- wired lights are cumbersome
- metal area can be hot after prolong use

2. Lezyne Microdrive 450XL


Pro:
- quite bright (at 450lm as advertised)
- compact and rounded design (no wires to worry about)
- doesn't feel hot after prolong use
- various light settings

Cons:
- max brightness last just over an hour
- not as cheap as those china generic lights

my friends pakai those single led ok je. No complaint. I cycked with him, can tumpang his light summore.

spec tarak so cant advise

that cheapo china light, how do u know the actual lumen?
If branded ones, easy to find info n reviews over the internet. For example, the magicshine 8000 lumen, actual measure only 3xxx lumen. If cheapo china lights, dunno where to find correct info.
