CONTEST NOW CLOSED. The winner of the Exposure Lights Prize Package is Pinkbike userbortchev. Congratulationsbortchev
Prize Details: • Maxx D has a powerful output that is projected through a combination of focussed and wide lenses that simultaneously highlight the edge of the trail without having to compromise the long throw of the beam, perfect for aggressive trail riding, flowing singletrack and technical terrain. The Maxx D also has the revolutionary Reflex++ Technology that automatically adjusts the light to provide boosted output, up to 3600 measured lumens, when riding hard and fast then intuitively dimming for the slower sections such as climbs. No need to find a button whilst on the move. This is all to optimise battery capacity, to provide extra light when needed and save it when not required. Reflex ++ achieves this by using data from 3D digital accelerometers including gyroscope and thermistors. It continually analyses the data to make seamless adjustments to benefit the rider, probably better and quicker than the rider can. In reality it is a form of artificial intelligence.
• Diablo Mk. 11 helmet light that uses triple LEDs to deliver a wide beam to light up the whole trail, 1750 measure lumens to see far down the trail or just around that next switch back, this beam pattern combined with TAP technology that enables the light to be quickly switched between modes on helmet lights by tapping either the body of the light or the helmet without needing to locate the function button for fast control to match the pace of the trail. Three sensitivities allow greater personalisation.
All Exposure bike lights have CFD, Cable Free Design, which means no external battery pack so it’s all in one unit.
The prize includes: • Maxx D front light • Diablo Mk. 11 helmet light • MSRP $792 USD

Yeah, not normally in my budget either, but looking at their site, they've got some cool features like auto brightening when they detect rough trail and some kind of programability. I have a 1000 lumen basic light that I bought a few years ago on sale, and that seemed impossibly bright at the time. Having a hard time imagining 3000, 4000 and 5000 lumen lights.
@gnarnaimo: Yes - exactly - so what is the cost? The plastic body? The battery? Most likely it's name brand. People will fork over a ton of cash for name brand.
@MrBurger: Lumens aren't cheap either. If this really is 3600 lumens I would put the led price (assuming automotive quality for reliability) at around $120 CAD. Still an expensive light absolutely.
@neimbc: The battery... 100% the battery. Those cheap ali express/Ebay lights batteries are known to explode while charging and also have a short lifespan.
I was first shocked by the nearly $800 cost but max output of 3,600 lumens and 3D digital accelerometers including gyroscope and thermistors to automatically increase or decrease light output to match rider speed. That's some year 2040 stuff right there. For someone with the cash and does a lot of night riding, that might worth the money.
My Maxx-D is a couple generations old (and bought on sale-ha) but yeah—the speed-sensitive light output works really, really well and almost imperceptibly while you’re riding.
I have one of these bar lights and have done a bunch of high speed xc night riding with it. Chinese light on the helmet. These exposure lights work as advertised and are worth the money in my experience. Count down timer is a feature I really like also.
I have an older version of this setup and can testify that it's legit. the clamp is solid and the light out put is amazing. I actually set a pr on a local downhill at night while using this light combination.
That’s why the countdown clock is so nice. It changes based on the mode you’re in. The speed-sensitive output setting does mean that the time remaining bounces around a little while you’re riding but by turning it down automatically when you’re going slow or climbing gets you a lot of battery life.

Thanks PB for running this lottery
PS I would still love to win one tho.
So this light is relatively cheap if you consider what you get
this is pretty generic no? how they are drawn?
