Exposure Lights have a few options in their outlet store?

It’s too light at the minute to really comment on my Diablo.

One of these and spend the rest on beer?

Actually I would get a factory seconds joystick from that link above…

I'd buy another Joystick if I needed a light. Got the MK13, from Evans for £92, just after the MK14 came out.

I just bought a Mk13 Joystick delivered from Tredz for £80. (£90 but Google turned up a £10 discount code) - 1000 genuine lumen. The Mk14 was about a tenner more but I didn't think I'd notice the extra 50 lumen so saved a few quid. Turned up yesterday. Looks good. The Mk15 was a lot more.

Another Mk13 Joystick user bought on sale after the Mk14 came out - does everything I need and was a revelation as I'd not had a helmet light before.

I’ve got an exposure Axis and whilst it’s ok I’m not blown away by the battery life. Axis is one higher up the range the joystick.

I’d be tempted to look at a four4th Scorch or a more budget option like a Moon Vortex Pro - the newest one is 1300 lumens I think. I’ve got the old version and the battery life seemed better than the exposure.

I have a four4th Scorch.

The build quality is superb and 2000 Lumen at £135.00 its great value.

I use it for my gravel / ride bike with mounts on my gravel bars and on my MTB helmet.

Exposure are incredible, four4th do the job more simply and cheaper.

Bought a joystick from tredz with £10 off ☺️ coupled with my MTB batteries beast on the bars (new battery last year) I'm good to go!
Thanks all
