12,000 lumens with a beam cutoff! Magicshine Monteer 12000 MTB Bike Headlight Review - feat. Remote

Magicshine’s Monteer series of bike lights are well known for their powerful output and affordability. The new Monteer 12000 takes it to the next level with an almost unbelievable 12,000 lumen output. Not only is this one of the brightest lights Magicshine has produced to date, but it also incorporates an aspherical lens into the central LED for a sharp beam cutoff. The dual beam setup means you can run the light with only the sharp beam cutoff to avoid blinding oncoming traffic and then turn it up off road with an additional 4 spot LEDs to light up the trail. Despite the high output, Magicshine retails the light for only $549.99 and includes a wireless remote and their flagship 10Ah MJ-6398 wired battery pack. As with Magicshine's other new lights, the Monteer 12000 output modes can also be customized using the Magicshine app. With the larger size and weight of this light, Magicshine has utilized a two arm metal bracket to attach the light to a handlebar. This more robust design ensures the light remains stable on the bike regardless of the terrain and attaches to the light with two side bolts. It’s similar to the Lupine SL Mono but features a clever thumb screw on one side so that you can adjust the light angle without a tool. Given the beam cutoff design it’s nice to have the ability to tune the angle on the fly. Attaching the two arm bracket onto a handlebar is a bit challenging if you have cables as it has to slide underneath them. Once it’s installed you can easily remove the light from the bracket and leave the bracket on the bike for quicker installation or removal. Visually, the Monteer 12000 takes Magicshine’s traditional 5 LED Monteer design and adds an aspherical lens into the central LED. Not only does this give the light a unique look, but it also means you won’t be blinding oncoming traffic. This is a wired headlight setup that keeps the headlight lightweight by moving the battery to a separate battery pack. Surrounding the main floodlight are four spot lights with different beam angles. All the spotlights are illuminated in unison to provide additional lighting when you are riding off road. The headlight also has an all metal construction with heat fins built directly into it to dissipate heat. With this much power the headlight can get quite hot so you'll need some airflow to run at high output levels. There is also a power button and four LED indicator on it which lets you quickly check the battery status... ...
