MacTronic lamp BPM170L, 112,482 (equipment)

Customer Review

I can not understand the euphoria also.

Now, after 3 months I am still of the opinion that it is well suited as a flashlight but definitely not as a bicycle lamp.

First the positive things:
-High luminance with full batteries
-Consistent illuminated light cone
Metal housing

Now for the negative things:
-High luminance with full batteries: The luminosity can very quickly at a lower voltage to and will not get very long upright. Also batteries give because not help because they have rather than 1.5V 1.2V. Here the manufacturer could have the LED can interpret your performance batteries instead of batteries.

-Consistent illuminated light cone: This cone is on the road a security threat to the road traffic, as it appears to other road users. Since a (circular) beam is present, there is no upward horizontal boundary, so that one permanently displayed other road users. If you continue, the lamp down, you have too little illumination near the horizon. A rectangular illumination would make much more sense when cycling. The illumination to the sides could be larger. With Dynamo-powered bicycle lamps distribute approximately the same brightness on a much larger area.

-Fokusverstellung For cycling superfluous: When cycling I have not yet used a times, but always set to maximum "wide". And even in this position, I would like to see a larger wide angle.

-The Bracket is a bad design: No matter which way round to secure the bracket on the steering wheel, the lamp must always push in front to back. Next, a screw must be tightened. If the screw is now screwed not very firm, you will push out the lamp when you turn inadvertently forward because the power button located on the back. Here is a clip fastener would have been a better solution. When the screw is Lenkradradbefestigung jedeoch a good solution. A pushing from behind would have been a better solution.

-For By switching the different illumination modes you have to press the power button light and not quite as strong as the power on / off. When cycling the switching through, however, hardly possible, since one for some sensitivity needs without disturbing vibrations through the drive. With gloves, this is just as little possible as the tightening of the screws. In one of my last trips, the modes were not carried off. Whether this was due to the foggy weather at 5 ° C, I can not judge. However, a bicycle lamp for appropriate weather conditions should be sufficiently sealed.

-To Make matters worse, I fell out while driving unnoticed the lamp holder screw, when I had the lamp not mounted. I have not found again. Let's see whether I still find a suitable.

For 12 it would be a good competition to the Baumarkt-bicycle lamps, in which the batteries are empty much slower. But 37 it's not worth it (assuming same Herstellbedingunen)

I will therefore again have to look for a new lamp and lamp verweden these according to their suitability as a flashlight.
With so many 5 star reviews you almost feel that would all come from happy employees Manufacturers ;-)
