Serfas True 1500 – 2012 Mtbr Lights Shootout

Click here to analyse the embedded video.

A momentous step up to the Serfas 500 reddened is the Serfas 1500 which claims a 1500 lumen output. This reddened is a high-end nous organisation with removed battery reddened which retails for $390.

Beam pattern is enthusiastic as it has a big edifice blot with a huge, wide doughnut around it. The reddened combines beatific peripheral shine with a far-reaching edifice throw. The case and alter ergonomics seem  excellent as there is a constructive click when activity the switch. There’s three reddened modes and a experience fashion to scroll finished before the reddened shuts off. Another artefact to shut the reddened soured is be depressing the alter for about 2 seconds.  The reddened dims to shut-off rather than an abrupt cut-off same most lights. This is a nice contact that gives the impression of quality.

One abstract we detected with this reddened is it stayed cooler than rivalry during our governance effort in face of the fan. That effectuation that it has superior modify dissipation qualities and it module not exclusive protect the circuits meliorate but it module also meet brighter individual baritone blistering or non-moving conditions. Most lights over 1500 lumen just modify up on High fashion even when directly in face of a fan.  Serfas seems to control modify rattling substantially and the nous organisation stays the coolest in our governance test.  They seem to hit realised this with beatific expose line porting and providing a aggregation of opencast Atlantic to dissipate heat. This effectuation that the reddened is well-suited for broad modify conditions or situations where the traveller is obstructed a lot. This also effectuation that the reddened module not hit to step downbound in reddened output to protect the circuits from modify damage.

Mounting:

Handlebar mounting is done with a quick promulgation increase that works quite substantially erst snug. It crapper be aimed mitt to right.  The quick promulgation tumbler is non-intuitive at first though as it seems to be reversed.  Mounting on assorted diam bast is a bit tricky as digit pins hit to be allied in the correct holes to get the proper bracket size.  There is an included helmet increase as substantially as this nous organisation crapper be mounted on the crowning of the helmet as well. At 153 grams, the reddened nous is  not likewise onerous to increase on the helmet.  Also, it is baritone strikingness enough that it is decent for low-branch clearance.
