That's the benefit of manually setting exposure. Don't leave that shit on auto if you can help it.

Its probably because the camera and light are mounted at the same point. Either the helmet or body? {just guessing btw}

Love my outbound lighting setup. Have never had a situation where I didn’t have enough light. One pro tip for you Seth, not sure if he mentioned it. They have a clip available for the underside of the bar light that your cables/hoses go into so they don’t bounce in front of the light. Noticed you didn’t have it.

[@BermPeakExpress]

I just noticed that over the weekend, and it’s pretty genius

[@Aidanburns13]

@@BermPeakExpress it’s a must have in my opinion. Wish it was included with the light but well worth it either way.

[@liquidwombat]

@@BermPeakExpress I second this person. Outbound light is the best bike light I’ve ever used and I will never use another light especially for my road bike their road addition with the sharp cut off line like a car headlight is a complete game changer for riding where you might blind oncoming traffic or pedestrians

[@tomplace4487]

@@Aidanburns13 yeah we don’t include it with every light because we’ve found only ~20% of customer bikes need it (just the ones that need it tend to really need it…), so we don’t want to make every light more expensive for 80% of them to end up in the landfill, working on a more eco-friendly solution long term!

Plus 1 for Outbound Lighting… the Hangover helmet light with the Trail EVO bar light is the best combo out there … I’ve met and ridden with Tom (owner/engineer of Outbound) in Pisgah - he absolutely shreds

[@austenitferrit8248]

Just looked at their website. Honestly für 240 bucks the mounting system of the flood light looks a little bit weak/plasticy to me. Lupine offers an metal brace for mounting...

[@FoCoFlowShow]

@@austenitferrit8248 they redid their mount last year / it’s solid. Worth mentioning, you probably don’t want a fully rigid, unmovable mount. in case of a crash, you’d rather the mount give way before the energy of the impact transfer to the light itself or the bars causing worse damage to more expensive parts

As a matter of fact, I’ve scored a good amount of PRs at night with these lights. And their customer service is spot on! I had to get a part replaced, and they were so cool about everything, sending me a replacement for free. Needless to say, I’m a satisfied customer. I’m interested to see your long-term review on these lights.

[@ch_chone]

I have a set of Outbound mtb lights (and a road light as well) and they're honestly the best investment I've made for extending my riding into late fall when the weather is crispy and perfect but gets dark early. The owner/designer Matt is a sharp dude, a huuuuuge MTB enthusiast, and is easy to talk to. I recommend these lights to everyone who asks about lights, and most of my friends have them because of seeing mine in person. They're definitely a step up in price compared to the basic generic stuff you can find online, but they rival/beat the best stuff on the market regardless of price. With 3 years of use on Outbound products, I'm a huge fan. I'm surprised Seth hasn't found these sooner.

I literally added those lights to my wishlist last night, haha. Perfect timing for a real live review, thanks!

[@1one3_Racing]

I used to LOVE night riding! I ran 2 floods on the handlebars for a wider beam and a spot. But the BIGGEST game changer is a flood under the lower tube. It shines down where your front wheel is and shines forward on jumps. It allows you to run your flood lights slightly higher as well. Game. Changer.

[@SnootchieBootchies27]

I highly recommend trying this with just a head mounted light. It always seems like more light is better, but the head mount is always naturally pointing where you want to look (and go). I've found that if you have both, the handlebar mounted one can actually distract you in weird ways.

[@bermchasin]

Ive done the same! all about the helmet light only! I will add, that it sucks if you get distracted and look away from the trail tho

[@davidhamm2613]

I mounted 2 lights on my bars and one on top of the helmet and found I kept crashing. Best I can assume it's that there were no shadows which washed out ground and rock features, so I rode straight into and over obstacles I'd normally avoid easily.

[@tomplace4487]

@@davidhamm2613 you’re actually onto something there: any helmet light will make trails look flat, because the light is above your eye-line and thus produces no shadows from objects sticking up out of the trail, so rock gardens look smooth, which makes them harder to read in general, especially at speed. That’s why having a super wide handlebar beam pattern is helpful (so it covers everything regardless of where your bars are pointing) by casting shadows out that you can look down into, which make the terrain look 3D. Helmet lights are good to point down trail at speed and around tight corners, but having them overpowered and down-angled wash out all the definition you get from a bar-mounted light, which makes it harder to read the trail. Narrow beams with harsh edges (really sharp circular spots in particular) can be even more distracting, particularly on the bars, which is why it’s really important to have wide, even illumination from the bars.

Man that was insane. I love night riding, I live in Malaysia and I night ride in the jungle. I’ve had a few close encounters with wild boars and the odd snake but I’d take them on any day rather than do those sketchy jumps at night. Jeez they came up quick. Lights looked awesome though. I use MagicShine lights which are pretty good but separate batteries which can be a pain. So I might try out these if they’re available over here. Great job Seth. Keep up the awesome work.

[@EthanLeitch]

I live down in Tasmania, Australia and I've been running some Serfas lights for a few years that weren't too expensive. 1600 lumen for the flood and 1000 for the helmet.

I think for the first time in a video we the audience got a small inkling of the experience of riding with the full run from 10:50. The motion blur and tunnel vision caused by the lighting really showed how much speed you carry, how quickly you pick up speed in some parts and how little time you have to react. Kudos for doing all that.
