Indiglo 5 1800 lumen LED light close to Kickstarter funding goal

3 hours max is way too short

IF they can make a "dual mount" like that to fit Exposure lights I'll take it!

Hi Guys, thought I'd pop in and say hi and provide a bit move of an insight. The 5 is the commercialisation of a light that I developed for my own use and is perfect for my needs. The guys I ride with all wanted one and were the first to pledge on KS, so I owe it to them to get this right otherwise my life won’t be worth bugger all.
We are constantly refining the optics and have moved well on from the unit demonstrated in the KS video. Regarding legality, we are based in Australia where there are no regulations, either way, 5 can be run on hi mode (1200 lumen). The boost mode can only be accessed by pressing the power button for 2 seconds whilst the 5 is already on, so it won't happen accidentally. The Hi and boost modes are only for use in dark, unlit areas that are typically free of other traffic such as where I ride (Adelaide Hills). We have on offer an antiglare bezel that cuts off light above the horizon if you feel its needed and depending on how you intend to use it.

They've worked on the beam? Maybe, but it looks like flat glass,a symmetrical reflector and a forward-firing diode, which still means a symmetrical beam. Which, on the road, means wasted light, less than ideal distribution, and dazzled oncoming drivers.

When is the rest of the world going to realise the the Germans have got road beams nailed, and actually produce a proper reflector?

There's a gap in the market for a German-style beam with additional main beam that can be switched on and off by a remote switch, but unless I've missed something, this just looks like yet another glorified torch.

The light is neither here nor there for me tbh. Lots of bright lights on eBay.

That dual mount is genius though! I was putting my light on the other night and had to slide my Garmin mount along.

Somebody was thinking here!

I work in lighting design (although not specifically bike lights) but to echo most other peoples' thoughts - the optics on this look shocking. An up to date, high power, high efficiency LED chip completed ruined by putting an old fashioned torch reflector on it. No good for road use at all.

Also, doesn't UK road law limit lights to 1200lumens (regardless of optics)?

Yet another light that'll infuriate anyone who's coming the other way and who has to shield their eyes from the stunning glare it creates.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Buy a light that conforms to German standards, like the Philips Saferide 80. That way, you'll see exactly where you're going, and everyone coming the other way won't be annoyed to feck about it.

That type of mounting system is S***, hit some rough roads and your light is coming out, very similar to the exposure of the same size, which jumps out of its mount aswell.

I'd just get a cree light from ebay for super cheap and it will be just as bright. The only issue with most cheap lights, they come with an external battery.

As much as I don't like to put something down before given it a chance, I think I'd rather spend a bit more on an exposure or similar that's gone through various versions and developments and a lot of customer feedback. It looks like they've thought out the design well, and the mounts look pretty good, but I'm a little unconvinced

Only 80-90min @ 1200? they must be doing something wrong, my volt1200 lasts 2 hours on high or 17 hours on low.

Why risk money on a light you may never get when you can just buy one from the shop?

I assume it is a high power torch with no special optics to actually make use of that 1800Lumens?

Just go for one of the Chinese ones on ebay instead, they're about £30 and do the same job.
