Exposure Lights Strada gets brighter, and Link helmet light added to 2016 range

Not expensive in the grand scheme of things.

I have an Exposure Joystick that is 5 years old, a Toro that is nearly 3 and a couple of Redeyes of the same ages.

Never had a problem with any of them, batteries still giving decent run times (Joystick is probably close to giving up the ghost, it must be?..)

Some things are worth spending on, as a year-round commuter I think Exposure lights are one of those things.

At the moment other companies are responding to cyclists needs by raising the bar on their products. With all the innovation we're seeing with bicycle transmission at the moment I would like to see Exposure innovate more too. Their battery powered lights are fantastically built but I really think the dynamo light market is growing. B&M have released a new dynamo light which looks great, has high output with a road focussed beam. There's K-lite who always experiments with his dynamo lights and yet, great as it is Exposure's only dynamo product the Revo has seen no improvements for three years! It's a floody beam so aimed at the mtb market. I would love to see them integrate similar circuitry to the Sinewave Revolution into this light thus bringing usb charging and then bring out a similar product aimed at the road market.
Simple is good, which the Revo is, but I feel they're missing out on the multi-day bikepacking market which the german companies are threatening to dominate, as they are with the rest of the industry. I can't say I saw many Exposure lights on the Transcontinental this year. Loads of B&Ms.
I would like to see more innovation with dynamo products in general even if it is to increase competition and drive down prices. The Sinewave Reactor is nearly £200 and it still has it's flaws.

Expensive - but fantastic lights I have Strada and MaxD both excellent for different reasons.

MaxD could almost be used for welding things.

I have the Strada, well built, good adjustable output.
Better yet, got it direct from Exposure for less than £100, classed as a returned B-grade.

Always worth checking out the manufacturers website for bargains

I can't speak to the strada but I have a two year old exposure reflex which is absolutely brilliant (pun intended) and worth every penny. It came off (my fault) on a downhill, slid quite some distance at 40mph, and is utterly unscathed. The brightest setting is fantastic for riding pitch black gravel roads, even on ice and snow, and the lower settings last forever. They make the best lights, imo- I think my safety is worth paying a bit more for.

£ 270... 3h

Hopefully it'll be one of the lights that road.cc test in this year's comparison - I'd like to see how that 1000 lumens is distributed in the beam pattern test.

Edit:speeling

This is true. However it's like many things is this world, there are some things worth paying extra for. Exposure make some excellent bits of kit that are very well made. Its a simple choice, if you want something decent and are prepared to pay for it, get it. If not buy something cheap and take your chances. Simples!

£270! Stupid price, there are brighter alternatives for well under half the price.
