hi gang.....
I was poking around Light and Motion's website, curious about their Enduro family of bike lights. They seemed like nice enough lights, but I was wondering about beam angles and that sort of stuff.
Their on-line support folks tried to provide a direct answer, but had to go check with their engineers. They came back with a link to test data that they came up with when testing their own products as well as those of competitors.
The link is http://wetestlights.com/ , i.e. "we test lights"
Upon a casual review, I'm pretty impressed! It has enough info to answer my initial question about the beam angles, and provides other handy stuff, such as graphs of light output as the battery discharges.
As a person who can overlook some obvious stuff now and then, I have to ask if everyone else knew about this or not. If not, I hope you find it helpful.
A secondary question: are there other resources like this that provide comparative test data on a broad range of lights?
A side note: I asked Light and Motion if they had any lights that were StVZO compliant (since it would be nice to ride on the local paths without blinding folks). They said no, but there is one in development. I'll keep an eye out for it!
