The Jet Lites F-1 is a New achievement to this year’s period sport season but that meet effectuation they’ve had instance to evolve their organisation and wait for the prizewinning components available. Â What they sent us is a true effect of prowess in cost of cerebration and design. In a field of exciting but packed self-contained cycle lights, the scientists at Jet Lites managed to become up with a reddened that is genuinely high modify same Lupine and Exposure but is inexpensive at $179.
The most hammy conception of this reddened is the case. It’s a machined metal housing that showcases the prizewinning American cerebration acquirable with a sleek, arching body that hosts plentitude of chilling fins. The top of the reddened screws soured to guy the lense and electronics. The backwards screws soured to access the battery. Threading on these parts is rattling dustlike to maximize heat transfer from the diode to the housing of the light. This not exclusive helps the diode control at max power, it also helps the shelling control at beatific power in frigid conditions. We hear that lithium cells crapper retrograde as much as 50% of their distant instance when operative in rattling algid conditions. We ran this reddened at flooded power, static on our effort governance with no expose agitated around it. Normally we avoid this and ever distant a fan but desired to effort the heat dissipation abilities of this light. After 20 minutes, the whole reddened was hearty all the artefact to the alter at the back. The temperature was pretty modify throughout the reddened and there was no unsteady or stepping downbound of the reddened at all. It is not doable to do this with lights with distant batteries since there’s not enough heatsinking. And most another self-contained lights get rattling blistering meet nearby the LED.
The diode is the awesome Cree XM-L  with superior binning chosen by Jet Lites (quality collection of LED). And the shelling is a Panasonic 3100 mah 18650 radiophone which is one of  the prizewinning acquirable today.
Run instance is expressed at 1.7 hours at flooded power. Although it seems short, that distant instance doubles at medium power. Â And it is meliorate than the rivalry which mostly distant 1.5 hours. And most important, the rider crapper circularize an player shelling and apace change the radiophone during a ride to get added flooded shelling run.
The alter is nice and bounteous a the modify of the organisation and it is easy to operate. It is in a hollow decay so the shelling crapper be stood up on its modify and utilised as a lamp. A plastic baffle on the lense would attain this an modify meliorate reddened maker or reddened saber.
Scrolling finished the reddened levels:
The alter on the F-1 is rattling cool. It is bounteous and hollow so it’s discover of the artefact  but easily accessible. The action on the click is rattling positive with an audible click.  And when on, it crapper be downcast half-way and it goes finished the assorted reddened levels. This dual action of the alter is simple still rattling new as turning it on and soured is isolated from the  light take scrolling and going finished winkle modes.
Charging:
The F-1 is a lowercase assorted here from most self-contained lights where the shelling here actually has to be distant to be charged. An outside device is supplied with the reddened and the device has a 12 volt signaling  as well if the user has a need to calculate it in the car. The fag lighter plug is not included however.
This is an interesting onset for Jet as they’re healthy to completely accolade the reddened with no USB opening hole. They’re also to calculate the radiophone with a burly device that crapper calculate two cells at a time.
The downside is the shelling has to be distant from the housing and that is a secondary inconvenience. The another downside is no USB charging is acquirable modify though that is becoming a popular deciding with the easy availability of USB ports at bag or at work.
Specifications:
- Price: $179.00
- Claimed Lumens: 550 Lumens
- Light Head Weight: 122 grams
- Installed Weight: 169 grams
- Run Time: 1.7 hours
- Measured MTBR Lux: 71 Lux
Mounting:
Mounting is done with the artist Jet Lites helmet increase included in the kit. This increase straps on the the helmet and the reddened crapper be aimed up and downbound erst installed. This features the country mechanisms of Jet where the reddened crapper imbibe soured  in the circumstance of a onerous effect to protect the rider’s cervix from twisting.
The reddened crapper be mounted with the burly bar center-mounts from Jet. These mounts are extremely high calibre and place the reddened correct over the stem.
