Description
E-Bike riders have the benefit of having a rather large battery at their disposal to power front and rear lights with no real concern about battery life (compared to the rest of us anyway). The ME2000 from Magicshine has been specifically designed to be powered from the power output port available on most E-Bike drive systems such as Bosch. Shimano. Yamaha. Brose etc. using a cable available separately.
With very powerful LEDs giving you up to 2000 Lumens output and a highly refined reflector and lens system. the output of the ME2000 is not only bright. but it features a smooth transition at the edges and no hot spots within the beam making the light it produces more usable and less fatiguing. The ME2000 is capable of producing light to a distance of 220m with a light intensity of 12100 Candela.
Housed in a compact alloy case and sealed from the elements to an IPX6 rating (protected against high-pressure water stream from any angle) the ME2000 is suitable for riding in all conditions. The alloy handlebar mount can be used with 35mm and 31.8mm handlebars and allows you to position the light in front of your stem in a high or low position for minimal intrusion and interference with the ability to tilt the light to provide the forward coverage you want.
Intelligent features like always-on Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and ambient light sensors with automatic output mode adjustment help to increase raider safety. particularly when considering the ability to ride an E-Bike at speed. and the adaptability of the light to operate anywhere between 6-12V as determined by the bike. makes the ME2000 a versatile addition to any compatible E-Bike.
Who’s this item for: E-Bike riders looking for an integrated light solution that is powerful and intelligent
LED Type: The ME2000 features dual Luminus SST-40 LEDs for a total verified output of 2000 Lumens.
Battery Type: The ME200 uses the power output port of your e-bike drive system and is therefore only limited by your e-bike battery. Be aware though. that light output will vary according to the voltage provided by your e-bike with 12V providing the maximum 2000 Lumen output. Lower voltages will result in lower light output.
Modes. Output and Runtime: Because the light operates off the power output port of your e-bike drive system light output will vary according to the voltage provided by your e-bike and run times will vary according to many riding variables. For the full rated operating voltage of 12V (24W) the light output of the various modes are as follows:
- DRL: 20 Lumens
- 100%: 2000 Lumens
- 50%: 1000 Lumens
- 30%: 600 Lumens
- Flash: 600 Lumens
For 6V operation (12W) the light output of the various modes is as follows:
- 100%: 1250 Lumens
- 50%: 630 Lumens
- 30%: 409 Lumens
- Flash: 409 Lumens
Charging Method and Time: The ME2000 requires no individual charging as it runs from the power provided by your e-bike battery.
Mount Type: An aluminium handlebar mount is provided that can clamp to your handlebars on either side of the stem positioning the light in front of the stem at the centre of your handlebars. The clamp features a hinge so that you don’t need to remove your grips. shifters or brakes to install the light. It also features a tilt function to allow you to adjust the downward angle of the light to suit your needs. The handlebar mount can be used on 35mm and 31.8mm diameter handlebars.
Beam Angle: The beam angle is not specified on this particular light but most of Magicshines lights feature a beam angle between 20° and 25° and the ME2000 has a throw of 220m with a high intensity of 12100 Candela (which is a measure of lumens over angle) indicating this to be the case. Much like most of Magicshines lights. the ME2000 has a reflector and lens system that provides a wide beam angle just in front of the rider with more focus and penetration as the distance increases.
Waterproof Rating: The ME2000 is rated to IPX6 meaning it is protected from high-pressure water streams from any angle. That’s not to say you should blast it with your pressure washer. but more so riding at speed through heavy rain is ok.
Dimensions and Weight: L53×W36×H36mm and 112g
