NiteHawk AX-L lighting photos

Sorry I did not get lighting shots before. I just didn't have time. I'm so-so with this lights output and there is a good chance this is going back to MEC but going to do a little more light comparison while the weather is still spring like here before the mercury drops and it starts snowing. I've never seen a 5W or 10W halogen light before so I don't know the comparison to the halogen. One things for sure it's not enough light for me to 25kph on the lite streets as it washes out with the lamp lights. Then again, I used it in the helmet mount position then so I had more distance from the ground. The beam seems wider then the previous basic emitter NiteHawk sold that MEC had this year. You know, the one with the all in one headlamp/battery mount which was known to fall off. One things for sure that I like is this headlamp is NOT coming off with vibration. It has a spring clip and a tight positive "CLICK" as you put the unit in. I gotta go now to return some stuff tot he store but I'll post more pro/cons later tonight. I didn't like how you have to use a " + " head screw driver to change the position before you helmet mount but it's no problems there as the screw is tight and not loose tho it would have been nice if they made it toolless.

More pics to come. This is just a starter.
