Bicycle helmet lamp LUMONITE Compass - 1250 lm / Rechargeable

The LUMONITE Compass is the most versatile headlamp on the market. The first model of Compass was named "BEST IN TEST" by testfakta.se. Since then, it has been upgraded several times with the latest and most efficient technology. Together with its predecessors, it has sold over 300,000 copies. With over 1200 lumens measured in our light laboratory, a range of 110 meters and an unbeatable battery life, the Lumonite Compass qualifies for first place as the most efficient compact LED headlamp available on the market.

LUMONITE Compass has the perfect light image, weight, size, brightness and battery life - all while being easy to use! The headlamp is designed to be the best choice for running, hunting, skiing, working, riding, cycling, camping and much more.

Together with the Lumonite Releasy Bike V2 bicycle mount, you can easily move and attach your LUMONITE Pixel to your bicycle handlebars or to your helmet, depending on what suits your riding style best. The continuously 360° rotatable bracket means that the light image can be easily adjusted so that it always points forward, regardless of the position in which you put the bracket. Thanks to its quick assembly, it is very easy to assemble the bracket. The smart Releasy™ function also makes it possible to detach the lamp in no time and have it in your hand when, for example, charging or when you need a loose flashlight. How convenient doesn't that sound?

The most important features in brief

• Huge light performance, a whopping 1250 lumens measured in the light laboratory (the most powerful compact LED headlamp on the market in terms of size and weight).
• A full 110 meter range. In the center of the light cone there is a wide, powerful hotspot for longer range, at the same time lots of scattered light out on the sides for peripheral vision = no "zoom function" needed.
• Highly efficient electronics provide a longer lifespan than before.
• Made in one piece. CNC-turned aluminum body, which provides an extremely durable construction!
• Simple construction. No hinges, cords or joints = no loose parts that can break.
• Easy USB-C charging. The battery does not need to be removed from the lamp when charging!
• Magnet at the bottom of the lamp. Practical mounting on metal surfaces as a work lamp.
• Very easy to take out of the mount and use as a loose flashlight. Buy accessories to use the lamp as a bike light or helmet light (see below).

The Lumonite Compass is made from a single piece of strong yet lightweight aircraft aluminum. This provides an impact-resistant and completely sealed construction against water, dust and dirt. The lamp is IP69 rated, which is the best enclosure class against moisture. A steel ring around the lens protects the LED and its electronics against knocks and shocks.

The lamp's incredible brightness beats by horse lengths all corresponding compact LED headlamps in the segment. The actual measured luminous flux is over 1200 lumens, which at the time of writing, is the record for a compact headlamp in this size class. In the power saving mode (medium), the lamp provides 240 lumens for over 8 hours, which alone covers most lighting needs.

The lamp has a total of 5 different power modes, which gives an operating time of up to 31 days. The power modes are optimized for maximum light and battery performance. There are no annoying flashing, strobe or SOS modes on this lamp. Lumonite Compass is easy to use and very versatile. The lamp is just as suitable for work as for running.

Another thing that makes this headlamp versatile is the new Lumonite Releasy™ mount , where the lamp can be easily detached from the headband and used as a normal flashlight. When the lamp is to be used again as a headlamp, it is clicked back into the steel quick-fix. The headband has been improved from the previous model. Better elasticity and a slightly wider band of 30 mm make the fitting around the head very stable. The headband, which goes over the head, can also be easily removed and reattached if necessary. Most of the time, this strap is not necessary to carry, precisely because of the lamp's light weight.

ATTENTION! Since the lamp is cooled through the aluminum fixture, it is normal for the fixture to heat up considerably when used at high power. The lamp has a thermal protection that prevents overheating which is harmful to the lamp.

WARNING! The power from the Lumonite Compass lamp is very high. Even if the lamp has temperature protection, the light energy itself can heat nearby materials. It is therefore important to follow the following safety instructions:

1. Do not leave the lamp on with objects less than 5 cm in front of the lens!
2. Loosen the bottom part of the lamp half a turn to prevent accidental switching on, e.g. in a pocket
3. A powerful lamp is not a toy - Do not let children use the lamp without supervision!
4. Use the button lock: With the light off, press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds. The button lock is deactivated in the same way, by holding down the power switch for 3 seconds.
