As bright as high end bike lights
From the reviews I watched on youtube, particularly from mtbr, I went ahead and got myself this unit eventhough I already have the NiteRider MiNewt.250 Cordless Light for my Trek Fuel EX-8 mountain bike. Testing the two lights side by side, the MagicShine TOTALLY out-flooded the NiteRider's beam. The light is super bright, emits a pleasant white color and has a nice even beam pattern. You'll only find this in a $400+ light. The construction & material of the MagicShine is well-made and solid too. Btw, the latest version of the unit (MJ-808E) fixed some of the issues of the previous version pointed out by mtbr youtube video -(ie) light no longer briefly turns on as soon as it's plugged into the battery; has high, low, (one) flash mode, off mode when pushing the button; no more battery issues & is water sealed. This light is so affordable that I might get myself another one for my helmet.
Update 9/21/2011 - I recently rode on a paved trail along Terry Hershey Park in Houston,...

Be careful
In a nutshell, I works very well when it works, but you are in trouble seriously when it doesn't.
The connectors are snug enough to protect the battery in rainy winter in the Pacific Northwest, but the internal electrical connection breaks easily. First when it started to lose connection in 1 week, I had to send it to the seller (Performance Outdoor Gear) for repair or replacement of the connector. They shipped it back to me in a snail mail to know that it still didn't work. They said they replaced the lamp instead of the connector in battery side. I had to send it back to them again to finally get a working one. They won't send you the part until they receive what you send them. So, it took about 2 calendar weeks for a complete repair cycle. It was real inconvenience to use my backup head light for my daily bike commute in dark winter in Seattle for 4 weeks.
Now I have a charger problem. I sent several messages and left a voice message to the seller but they...
Great Bang for the Buck
The new improved version of this light & battery pack will satisfy anyone looking for a good bar or helmet mount system. I think the claim of 1000 lumen is slightly overated, but still plenty of good white light to see and be seen in the darkest of conditions. One note; the battery pictured is NOT the new improved battery that comes with this system. The battery you will receive is the MJ-828 LCD battery, far improved and water proof.
All in all, you can't go wrong with this choice, and as mentioned before, shipping was very prompt.
Follow up report...I was so blown away by the performance of this system (helment mounted) that I purchased another one for bar mount. Riding through pitch black conditions, I felt like a squad car with high beams and spot used simultaneously. I ride in mountain lion country, so if two of these systems aren't enough to drive the beast off, then he can eat me! Don't waste your money on $400-$700 systems. If you need more than...
