Sigma

SIGMA sport has further developed its range of power lights, introducing the black edition, which comprises of the PowerLED black, Kalmit and Karma models. LEDs can generate enormous lighting power, a wider beam angle, shine brighter than traditional lighting options (up to 90 LUX), and with three instead of the previous two light levels: these are the features of the new PowerLED black– perfect for every night ride. At the same time, the high quality, robust and splash-proof casing also makes the high power LED light very durable and allows it to be used everywhere. Three operating modes – economy, standard and power mode – ensure the right illumination for everyride. The power torch reveals its lighting power with a double click, which at the same time prevents the sport light from being switched on by accident. Combined with the new IION rechargeable battery, the PowerLED black features an extra long burn time from 3.5 hours in power mode and up to eleven hours in economy mode. The battery indicator uses the colours green and red to give adequate warning about the battery status. Depending on requirements and the desired lighting period, the high power LED light can be operated with four standard AA batteries or the new IION rechargeable battery. Removing the middle section (battery compartment) reduces the weight of the casing by about 40 per cent, whereby this process is possible without tools, as is assembly.The lightweight (70 g) Karma provides lighting power up to 40 LUX with its LED technology. Combined with the very wide beam, ultimate visibility is ensured wherever you are. Thanks to the new IION rechargeable battery, enthusiastic mountain bikers can enjoy up to 11 hours of light and three operating modes – economy, standard and power mode. This light is activated by means of a double click. This prevents it from being switched on accidentally, for example in a rucksack. Thanks to the aluminium casing the Karma is extremely robust and guarantees bikers long-lasting enjoyment. Even heavy rain or a ride through a stream will not affect the waterproof power light. The lightweight Karma is assembled without tools using the familiar unifit click bracket (22-32 mm) and can be adjusted sideways for the perfect setting.

Again the Vision four has a 35-hour shine when on the low-power setting.The lamps CNC machined lamp bodies are manufactured in the UK where Hope has a dedicated light assembly facility - in which product is hand assembled.
