Is Fluxient 3xu2 3000 Lumen Bike Light the Brightest


Bikelights UK is one name that is reminiscent with bike lights in UK. Bikelightsuk is proudly the best and probably one of the first retailers to bring amazing bike lights to UK. Bikelights uk has provided all riders in the UK and Europe with some of the finest and most amazing bike lights over the years, a reason it has become one of the most trusted names in manufacturing and sale of bike light in UK.
Some of the best bike lights that we have seen and used in the past, from bikelightsuk include the magicshine mj-872 1600, magicshine mj-808, magicshine mj-816, magicshine mj-868 and magicshine MJ-818. Undoubted, Magicshine bicycle lights are the finest bicycle light sets in the market. Yes, almost all Magicshine bicycle front lights and back lights are cool to use, but our outright personal favorite in the collection is the Magicshine MJ-868 retro front bike light which offers impressive 1000 lumens output (just for insight, that’s even more than an average beam of a car’s headlight).


Here’s more detail for your reference:
Fluxient 3xU2
Now, if you thought this was the best guys at bikelightsuk could do when it comes to brightness and output, just think again. Bikelightsuk has developed the Fluxient 3xU2 Bike light, which is touted as the brightest high power LED light presently available on the market.
The Fluxient 3xU2 is the brightest bike light because it delivers a whopping output of 3000 Lumens (now compare that with the 1000 lumens of the Magicshine MJ-868, which we said was more than the car’s light).
8800mAh battery
The amazingly bright light output is made possible with a 8800mAh battery, which powers the Fluxient 3xU2 for about 2.7hours to 10 hours, depending on the power level chosen by the cyclist. So, if you want to be noticed (massively) on the road on a rainy evening or pitch dark night, the Fluxient 3xU2 bike light is surely a lighting unit which will not disappoint you in any way.
Convenient feature
The Fluxient 3xU2 bike light has four different functions, ranging fromHigh, Medium, Low and SOS flash, which the user can toggle through with just a click of a button on the light.
The Fluxient 3xU2 bike light features a secure swivel mounting system which allows the light to be safely mounted onto any size handlebar, including the standard or oversized bars, or some fancy one you may have on your bike.


2 years Warranty
Though, we are sure you won’t have any real problem with the Fluxient 3xU2 bike light once you have mounted it on to your bike, but in case you tend to have a problem, the bike light comes with 2 year warranty, which will have all the problems covered.

6 Things You Should Know About Road Bike Light Sets


Compact, durable and high-intensity road bike lights are a must for anyone cycling on the road in dim-light conditions. Listed below are 5 important things you should know about road bike light units:
1.    What is the Power to Price Ratio?
Bicycle light sets, especially bicycle front lights should have lumen output as high as 600-1000 lumens. The light beam emitted by a Magicshine MJ-808 has the intensity of 1000 lumens. That said, you can see several meters ahead of you on the road. If you’re spending more than 200 pounds on a light unit, make it a point to choose the ones that provide an output of at least 600.


2.    How long is the warranty period?
Reputed sellers who offer bike lights in UK usually offer extended 10-12 month warranties on various components. There is, however, some exclusion, and you should read the description carefully to find out if there are any.
3.    Are there going to be any heating problems?
The best bike lights, Magicshine MJ-818 85 for example, have cooling fins. At times, you may need to use the lights for a long time at a stretch. In such cases, cheap and poorly designed road bike lights (front or rear) can give up due to overheating.
4.    How can the light unit be mounted?
Front, rear and other reflectors should be easy to mount. Magicshine mj-808, Magicshine MJ-816 and other high-end bicycle front and rear light sets have O-ring mounting mechanism. This system allows a biker to easily fit the light unit on the handle or circular bars over the tires. Also, they prevent bouncing movements, thus providing you with a steady beam. O-ring mounting, among many others, is the reason bikers love Magicshine mj-872 1600 and Magicshine MJ-868.


5.    Is it easy to use the road bike light?
Bicycle light sets should have digital or analog systems to keep you informed about the charge level. You wouldn’t like bicycle front lights to turn off at a time when you need them, would you? Magicshine bicycle lights have multi-color charge indicators that let you know about different charge levels. Red, for example, serves as a warning that the battery is running out fast. Green, on the other hand, indicates that the charge level is high.
6.    Can the light unit configured situational needs?
Bike light units, whether to be used on the front or the back side of a bike, should have different modes of working. When it’s not too dark, you won’t really need a focused beam, for example. Availability of multiple modes means that you can easily manage the battery power and choose whether you’d have a focused beam with wider reach in a straight line or a wider beam that lets you keep a check on the surrounding areas on deserted roads.

The Big Ride Event: People’s voice for safer bicycle riding in London


To make London more livable and street friendly for bicycles, approximately 10,000 people participated in what is called the Big Ride Event. Organized in the month of April, just before the mayoral elections; citizens of London gathered together to express their concern for making London safer for bike rides.
The success of the event was not an easy one. Riders rode against the ever raining weather of London. It was a spectacular sight to witness the four mile long traffic route reserved for the event, decorated with bells, whistles, and balloons. For a while the entire lane was transformed into a red and white alley, where individuals, families, kids, teens, and even the elderly were seen dressed in red and white. They carried sign boards reading “I want safe streets for bikes in London; I am going to the Big Ride.”
This event is quite inspired by the Dutch, and now people of London, wish to follow in their footsteps. A campaign by the name “Love London, Go Dutch” became very popular during the Big Ride event. People are now demanding London to have proper cycling infrastructure for the streets of London, which would encourage more people to walk and cycle.
Simply cycling and walking is not the purpose for this large scale event. The main underlying proposition behind this event was to promote cleaner, safer, healthier and happier London. And, this would not be possible if vehicles keep treading the streets. The way ahead is cycles and walking.
The politicians, who up to now have remained oblivion to the need for cycling infrastructure, have as well been given a strong message that people of London are serious about what they ask for. If countries like Denmark and Netherlands, can successfully install high-quality infrastructure for cycling, why could London not?
Most people are hesitant about using bikes on the streets of London due to heavy traffic or unsafe riding zones. Many would switch to this mode of transportation if they had safer paths to ride on. Yes, this would be a new innovation, but looking at the current world scenarios, where you see most developed world cities with proper infrastructure in place, governed with rules and laws, you’ll agree that London should not be left behind.
And, the story of London streets does not end with putting in place bike friendly alleys; it also needs to be backed by measures like limiting the speed of such lanes to a maximum of 20mph, construction of a good number of residential and shopping streets across the city, especially Greater London and other similar measures. This when corroborated with separate lanes for vehicular traffic and cyclist, can work well for a city, which remains cluttered with heavy traffic for most part of the year.
Since the whole purpose of demanding cycle safe streets for London is to enhance the quality of life of its people, a harmony can also needs to be established with the pedestrians’. One cannot encroach into their space for creating new lanes for cycles. The development authorities need to plan holistically and create a balance for vehicular traffic, cycles and pedestrians.
With all this in mind, and clear cut demands from the politicians and higher authorities, people expressed their concerns through the platform of the Big Ride event. If 10,000 people could be motivated to take on the streets with their bicycles, braving rain and cold and other adversities, you can well imagine their seriousness for the cause.
