BatterySpace.Com Bike Light: 20W Dual Halogen Light plus 14.8V 4Ah Li-Ion Flat Battery and Smart Charger, part number BM-HL001C02. It features two independent light heads - the direction of each light is individually adjustable. The dual light heads mount onto the handlebar using a relatively permanent mounting bracket. That is, the low profile mounting bracket is bolted to the bar. It is made of durable and lightweight construction of CNC machined aluminum.

Super bright dual MR11Halogen lamps: 5w ( flood ) and 15w ( Spot ) lamps for a total of 20watts of halogen power when running both flood and the spot options at the same time. It comes with an easy to use clamping fixture that allows mounting to any bar of your bike in the range of 0.375in to 1.125in with no shims needed. It also has an easy to use waterproof thumb touch switch for changing the lighting options: Spot light On, Flood light On, and All-On. The switch lead is approximately four inches long so you can have the lights in the center of your bars, and the switch will mount next to your grip for safety and convenience. It weighs about 4.5 ounces.

The manufacturer’s stated burn time using the 14.8V 4Ah Li-Ion battery pack is at 5W is 12 hours ; at 15W: will be 4 hours; and when using the total 20W you will get 3 hours. Of course real world time is less.

One High capacity 14.8v 4000mAh Li-Ion battery pack that comes in its own really nice nylon bag. The bag has two zippered pockets. One compartment is for the battery and the other smaller front compartment for miscellaneous small items. The bag’s dimensions are 5.5" x 3" x 3” making for easily carrying the battery on your belt or on the top tube of your bike The high capacity Li-Ion battery is rated at 14.8V, 4000mAh , and is made of 8 pieces matched 18650 Li-Ion cylinder cells. It is fairly lightweight and compact in size at about 14 and the dimensions are 3 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches.

It comes with a six-foot long cable with female connector to fit in both the smart charger and halogen lighting system.

It comes with a multi-level Smart Li-Ion battery charger for recharging the battery pack. The smart charger has 120-240V AC input for worldwide voltage support. There are four levels of voltage selectable on the charger, for example, 3.6V, 7.2V, 10.8V, and 14.4V. For charging 14.8V battery pack, you must choose voltage switch to 16.8V level. Charging time for the 14.8V, 4000mAh Li-Ion battery is about 8 hours.

To sum up: This is a very bright, easy to use and mount, with long burn times, excellent modular light system, The price tag is very reasonable when compared to similar dual beam systems. I travel to work 3 to 4 times per week and have unpredictable hours. My biggest fear on the road is to be hit by a car in the middle of the night. Cars, and pedestrians have not ignored me yet when I am flashing my 20W at them. If you are uncertain whether you want a dual or single beam system, go with the dual lights.

A complete review. You might ask the SYSOP to shift it over into the lighting thread. And maybe ask the supplier to advertise here. I have seen them mentioned in several places.

Is this your light/battery?

Sounds mighty good. Almost too good to be true for $129

Is it much trouble to get it on and off the bike? (I have to consider theft risk.)

I have been looking at these lights what do you think by looking at the specs? I can get them for 63€ which is half the price similar headlights cost in Portugal.
I don't really like the holding system but for 50€ savings I think I can live with it.

Anyone ever seen them in action?

Any kind of opinion would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks

I just ordered the HID light from them with the same battery you mentioned. Supposed to have 4.5 hours burn time. I ordered the 6 degree spot since most of my riding is road. I am eager to see how far ahead this thing shines with 13000 candle power. Can't wait for Christmas . Ended up spending $220. Hoping to eventually get another battery so I can go 9 hours.

I ordered a similar HID from them yesterday--the cheapest one, with a lower-voltage battery.

There's a coupon for anyone who's interested in Batteryspace stuff-- 5% off if you enter 'batteryspace' in the coupon box. The whole thing with UPS ground came to $196.

Seems like an excellent system...love the idea of worldwide voltage support which they repeat on their website and then ask for no international orders please...!!!!!!

They probably figure you will travel with the system.

Are these nice lights?

Will let you know Christmas night.

Any updates/reviews on the use of the batteryspace.com $129 Dual Halogen setup? How does it compare to the Jet Single Beam? Per MTBreview.com the Jet is the best setup out there for the money, and it is only a single beam with Nimh Batteries... $245

You can find a beam example of the Jet at

With that example pic, how does the Batteryspace.com Dual 20w beam look? Is it brighter? Does it go farther? Is it wider?

The batteryspace.com dual halogen for $129 sounds to damn good to be true! Are these things waterproof?

Something tells me that English is not the native language of the people who run the batteryspace website. There is some very fractured prose there. Try to read the rechargeable battery FAQ.

I remember years ago buying something made in Japan and the instructions were written in old English. It used words like thou, whilst, taketh, etc.

Just used my new HID light from BatterySpace.com last night and it was wonderful. I found myself cruising along at 21 mph and not feeling like I was going way too fast like I did under my old light setup. The 6 degree spot seems to be just the ticket for road riding with anough splash light to light roadsigns some way down the road. Need to figure out a good way to hold the wires on the frame but I figured I would have to figure that out with any light. Best of all car headlights were no longer washing my vision out. Anyway, long story short, I got pretty worked up with all the HID talk and although it is not a million candlepower spotlight, it is very adequate for riding at higher speeds in the dark. For the first time I found myself steering around small stones and pebbles that were now visible.
