My shorts tended to snag on the battery s mounting bracket and connecting the battery to the head unit or for charging is awkward.
Light and motion imjin 800 review.
The best mountain bike lights.
Light motion claims the runtime at high 800 lumens medium 400 lumens and low 200 lumens are 2 hours 4 hours and 8 hours respectively which based on my tests seems accurate.
I did find a few issues though.
The light motion imjin 800 light head is a replacement head unit for the imjin and stella bike lighting systems.
It s one of the few lights to get anywhere near the claimed output recording 796 lumens when we measured it in the sphere.
Even in low power mode which offers 200 lumens the imjin 800 now more of an imjin 200 for the pedantic did a great job keeping the trail illuminated.
To boost output light and motion s new imjin 800 uses a single cree led with a custom engineered reflector.
If you want a light for helmet mounting to mountain bike at night this one would be pretty good.
The imjin replaces the revered light motion stella the go to choice for professional racers as well as trail enthusiasts for its bright spot beam simple mounting and bulletproof reliability.
I picked this light imjin 800 due to the small lamp design coupled with a high capacity battery.
The light motion imjin 800 really impressed me with its excellent beam pattern and it s perfect for pitch black commutes and off roading.
The engineers at l m made this unit able to utilize existing light motion 2 3 or 6 cell batteries so if you want to update your older light head but don t want to purchase another battery this is the way to go.
