Lights

Highlights

Bright, and honest about the number

Lumen ratings in this category are claims, not measurements.

Twin T6 emitters

Bright enough to ride unlit roads at speed, which is the practical question.

On the lumen figure

2,400 is the supplier's number. Treat category lumen ratings as claims, not measurements.

Taillight included

Being seen from behind at dusk is the real safety problem on these roads.

Aim it down

Beam on the road ahead, not into oncoming eyes. A dazzled driver is your problem too.

Product description

About this product

Light with Free Taillight – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.

A twin-LED bicycle headlight using two Cree-type T6 emitters, supplied with a taillight included.

A word about the brightness figure. WEST BIKING quote a maximum of 2,400 lumens. We are passing that on as the supplier’s figure, and we would be doing you no favours by presenting it as measured fact. Lumen ratings in this category are usually theoretical emitter maximums – what the LED chips could produce at full drive current in laboratory conditions – rather than measured output from the finished light at a runtime you would actually use. The real figure from a light of this size is meaningfully lower, and the figure at the brightness setting you will ride on lower still.

That is not a reason to dismiss it. A twin-T6 light is genuinely bright – bright enough to ride unlit roads at speed, which is the practical question. It is a reason not to compare lumen numbers between brands as though they mean the same thing.

The taillight matters at least as much here. On Tanzanian roads at dusk, being seen from behind by a fast-moving vehicle is the safety problem, and a front light does nothing about it.

Set the beam so the bright part falls on the road twenty or thirty metres ahead rather than into oncoming eyes – a dazzled driver is a hazard to you.

Questions

Good to know

Is it really 2,400 lumens?

That is WEST BIKING's stated maximum and we pass it on as their figure. Lumen ratings in this category are generally theoretical emitter maximums rather than measured output from the finished light at a usable runtime. It is a genuinely bright light - just do not treat the number as a measurement.

Is the taillight included?

Yes, the supplier lists it as included with the headlight. If the pack you receive does not contain one, tell us and we will sort it out.

How long does the battery last?

We are not quoting a runtime, because the supplier has not documented one we can verify and runtime varies enormously with brightness setting. Assume less than the maximum claimed anywhere, carry a charged phone, and use a lower setting on a long ride.

How should I aim it?

So the bright part of the beam lands on the road twenty to thirty metres ahead, not level into oncoming traffic. A dazzled driver coming the other way is a hazard to you, not just to them.

Is it waterproof?

We do not have a documented IP rating for it, so we are not going to claim one. Treat it as shower-resistant rather than submersible, and dry it after riding in the rains.

Do I need a light in Dar?

Yes, and more than you would in a temperate country. Sunset here is fast - the useful light goes in about twenty minutes - and traffic is heavy and unforgiving. Assume you will be caught out and carry lights on any evening ride.

How do I charge it?

Via USB. Charge it fully before a night ride rather than topping it up, and store it charged rather than flat - lithium cells left flat in this heat degrade quickly.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and send nationwide to Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond by courier. Call or WhatsApp us if you need a same-day drop in the city.
