Moon Meteor Vortex Pro Front 1300 Lumen Cycle Light

Product Information

The unit’s USB-C port doubles up as its charging and remote plug, and the two-button remote fastens to the bar with a Velcro strap and has a 33cm long cable. It's not perfect for road use where a wider, flatter beam is better to reduce the chances of dazzling oncoming traffic, but angled down I didn't seem to irritate anyone while still getting the light shining up the road. You need to have a bit of common sense and courtesy with the lumen output too. We then wanted to get a bit more specific and only look at Moon products that are listed in the Lights category. Of course, there are plenty of lights available online for less money, but they won’t necessarily offer the same reliability or aftersales support as the trusted brands tested here. You can of course drop the lumens to 250, giving you 3hrs of run-time. I didn't quite get that on one daytime training ride, the light went out after 2hrs 53mins, but it was a pretty cold day. This setting is perfect for street-lit rides in the evening.

The button is a little on the small size, plus it is quite stiff which did make changing the modes a little bit of a faff on the fly. The Moon Meteor Vortex Pro offers a decent amount of brightness matched by some impressive burn-times. Nine mode choices could see you really stretch out that battery life too. You get four solid modes: 700/400/200/80 lumens, plus give the button a double tap to get that Boost mode.It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget.

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Lights. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Moon Vortex Pro Front Light.

Out on the road, though, it does pretty well. There is a decent amount of light thrown directly forward, with a reasonable spread out to the sides. It's not the best I've used – I'd like a slightly wider beam across the road or lane rather than one so focused on the centre. For the size of the unit, though, I'm pretty impressed by the output. Visibility is good when used alone, even on unlit roads under tree cover. The beam is nicely direct, illuminating what you need to see, with very little wasted power out of the sides.

If you find turning a light on and off a bit of a chore, though, then you need to switch it to Intelligent Operation (IO), by pressing the button for three seconds with the power off. In addition to the 1000 lumen Boost mode, there are two more steady modes – 700 lumens and 100 lumens – plus three flashing, one of which is a daylight flash. There's also an SOS mode, which is designated for emergencies only.
