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.

History and Emergence of Bicycle Lights in UK and Europe


Bicycles have once again become the best mode of transport in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, given the deteriorating environmental conditions, traffic congestions, fitness needs of the people and ever rising petrol prices.

Roads were flooded with bicycles and bicycle lights once, but with the invention of cars and other modes of transport, bicycles were steadily pushed off the main frame. Ready availability of cars, motorbikes etc. squeezed the bicycles to the curb, neglecting the fact that this liking for cars et al., is not at all great when we go around complaining about the rise in petrol prices and telling people how green we are.

Magicshine MJ-818 Rear Bike Light And Y-cable PackageSome people in the country like the UK and in Europe have understood how important it is for us to switch back to the much cleaner and cheaper modes of transport, especially when commuting requires only negotiating a small distance on a regular basis.

Students in schools and colleges are the earliest adaptors to this changing trend that has not only seen the emergence of bicycles on the streets of UK and Europe but has also seen a renaming of the good old bicycle into a much shorter and more modern - ‘bike’.

Bikes have become the need of the hour, so it is important to get people to switch to bikes - not only to save them their traveling cost but also to help them remain fit and help them in bringing about the long term benefits in air quality. Time is right and these kids are educating the seniors by using the bikes day in and day out – perhaps for all commuting requirements.
Bikes have therefore received massive transformations to meet the needs and requirements of the new generation. Bikes now have gears to facilitate riders negotiate climbs and descends; bikes have become more attractive with smart front bike lights, rear bike lights, girlish designs and more masculine designs and lights. There are also bikes that you and fold up into a bag so that you don’t have to worry about parking them, though some major places in UK and Europe have bicycle parks now, made specially to facilitate parking requirements of the bikers.

1 Metre Extension Cable For All Magicshine Lights, MJ-872, MJ-856, MJ-816Riding a bicycle can be dangerous in overcast conditions and in the dark because the drivers in cars, trucks, busses etc may not be able to see you because of poor visibility conditions. Therefore, the bikers are advised to wear bright and colorful clothing, and have good bright lights both in the front and the back. This is why bicycle lights industry is seeing a major emergence in demand in the UK and Europe.
Bikers want their bikes to be most attractive; lights don’t only add to safety but also adds style to the bike. So students and other riders are going in for the best front bike lights and best rear cycle lights possible. Providers like the Magicshine are gaining the most from sale and fitting of bicycle lights, which have lately become a charisma amid bike riders in the UK and Europe.
