Sourcing and Selecting Olsen LED Lights.
Sourcing Vs Design:
Before Olsen Bikes my day job was designing commercial lighting, everything from waterproof fish tank lights to spot lights used for art galleries. With the development of LEDs over the last 10 years, LEDs have over taken Tungsten Halogen and Metal Halide. Then Lithium-ION batteries came along and allowed lighting to become smaller. LEDs are a compact light source, so reflectors and lenses project most of the light forward.
Like Smart Phones we are probably close to reaching the peak of the LED lumen per Watt developed. So why develop something and end up with a similar product?
Looking and Found:
We did not want to compete with Hope R6 or Exposue Lights 6pack which produce over 3000 lumens. We wanted compact lighting which was easy to use and portable. Our criteria was as follows:
- Safe for Commuting
- Epic 24hour winter rides (Strathpuffer)
- Enough light Night rides
- Ride from Sunrise to Sunset
- Emergency light after a night out.
Light for Dollar-bucks?
Since spring we had NITERIDER 900 lumen LED Lights. We believe we have found an equvilent.
It has been established (on many forums) that for offroad riding 1500 - 1800 lumens is sufficient.
MTBing?? Get 2 to achieve 1800 lumens for Offroad Night riding.
Less trees and obsticals, less light is needed, so one can ride for longer.
