The new version of this tiny light packs a big punch
with it's twin high power LED's pushing out 480 lumens, 60% more light than the previous version of the Hope 2 LED. The universal mount LED light boasts some impressive
features.

- Intensity: 480 Lumens Max
- Beam: 2 x spot (+/- 5 Degrees)
- Mounting: Universal Handlebar Mount or Helmet (both included in box)
- Battery: 7.4v Li-Ion 2400mAh, Endurance version 2 x 2400mAh, Epic version 5200mAh
- Charge Time: 3 Hours
- Weight: 415g, 540g (endurance version)
- Power levels: 4 (+ flashing mode)
- Burn Time: 2 hours 15 minutes - 35 hours +
This mounts to the NEW! lightweight reinforced nylon
handlebar bracket, which fits both standard and OS bars with the clever use of removable rubber plugs. The bracket also
allows lateral adjustment of the lamp unit whilst riding.
The small Li-Ion battery pack (which is the same one found in
the stem mounted light) is now held in a custom made PVC
case. The battery has built-in charge, discharge and short circuit
protection. The connectors are fully sealed and totally waterproof
(IP67). The light has a simple on/off mode switch on the
back. This has a new cycle programme, which turns the light on
in ‘low’ mode and cycles through to the higher settings. This
gives better control of the light in tricky situations when more
light is needed quickly.
In tests the 7.4v Li-ion battery will last for upto 30 hrs + on
low and a minimum of 2 hrs* on the high setting with the
intelligent charger returning that in just 3 hours. The PVC
case option is small enough to fit under most stems, top tube
junctions or slip into a hydration pack or jersey pocket.
The 2 LED model now utilises ‘thermal throttling’ techniques
to increase the longevity of the LEDs and prevent damage
to the electrical circuit due to overheating. This works by
monitoring the temperature of the Aluminium heat sink and
restricting the power when it reaches a critical level, thereby
keeping the casing at an acceptable temperature for handling
while providing extended battery burn times by reducing the
amount of energy lost through heat.
As well as the universal handlebar clamp - a NEW! reinforced
nylon helmet mount is also included, as well as ample velcro
fastenings.
We are also offering (as with all the lights in the range) an
‘Endurance’ option. This is exactly the same lamp unit and
charger, but it comes complete with 2 batteries (both in the
custom soft packs) ready to simply plug in and use. Perfect for
racers and hard core winter riders alike.
USE: When it goes dark.
HOPE VISION LED
The Vision lighting range from Hope is a premium quality product
line, aimed at the enthusiast and racer alike.
Originally developed (as with most Hope products) as a result of
the owners’ and employee’s need for a high performance, reliable
lightset - that combines enough run time and power output to
allow typical riding to be enjoyed as much in the dark as in the
day.
As with most electronics, the technology is quickly advancing and
LED lighting is constantly evolving. As a compact operation we
can react quickly to this - making sure our lights are always using
the very latest drive circuits, LED’s, collimating lenses and battery
technology.
We take a simple, no nonsense approach to how we design and
produce our lights. You’ll find usable run time, battery options and
power levels that offer most people what they need from a light
without any unnecessarily large batteries.
Aside from the in house CNC machined lamp bodies, we have a
dedicated light assembly facility - in which we hand assemble each
and every lightset. Processes such as soldering of leads to batteries
and circuit boards all takes place in the Factory, where we also
hand check all connections and operations of the light before it’s
final assembly takes place, again, by hand.
Our lights have been used all over the world for all sorts of activities.
The high quality, reliability and performance has proven itself time
and time again, and it’s always good to know that the light’s you are
using can give you all that, and more.
