i have the previous 3 led/lens model and it seems decent bang for the buck, few years old now. my only bugbear was i bought the huge battery pack for mine and it is actually quite hard to secure to the frame

Also just bought the capsule helmet light, so far untested but a decent size and weight

I have the helmet light too. Used it at Kielder in 24 hour race. It’s a good light. Not too heavy on helmet. Carry a spare battery and you have a good 3 hours of light on full.

I have the Capsule for a helmet light, picked it up in a sale in Autumn. Seems decent, my night rides tend to be around an hour or so so battery life is fine, and it lights things up pretty good. Probs not as good as something eight times the price, but plenty good enough for my pogging around in the woods (paired with a Halfords 1600 lumen jobbie).

I also have a 3D printed GoPro mount for it so I can use it as a chest light for running, but I've not tried that yet.

i used a capsule as a head light for a couple of years. decent enough. i carried a spare battery for mid ride swaps if it got a bit dull.
