Eliran Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Does anyone has been told that their own 18L have an aggressive strong light? Almost every day (dusk - night) someone that I cross by raises their hand protecting thei eyes and some even tells me that my light is too strong. Anyone with the same problem? What to do though?

seage Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Ive had one person say it, but they were sitting down, and my light was on strobe and i was leaning down to turn it off at the time they said it. I just apologized because im Canadian and they huffed and puffed a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commute to work a lot before dawn and on 18L it was a nightmare for fellow bike commuters whom I met on my route every day who were travelling the opposite direction. On my current 18XL no issues at all so I assumed they fixed the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way @Eliran, when you look at the light, can you see a leap on the top? On the first version of the light it wasn't there and it was worse. Also I prefer having the EUC tilted a bit forward, which also improves the situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliran Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Excellent posts friends. I'll read all the article and check for the leap, asap. Thank you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had those at the start. They actually don't have a proper heat sink and after 6 months the white light stopped working for me, I got both replaced. If under warranty, ask for the replacements, if not, I suggest you get the new ones from some Aliexpress seller, even if they don't have it listed they can most likely order them for you. Or you may check with your local dealer if they have them in stock. When asking, say you only need the lamp board, not the whole headlight. Left, new one, longer (V1.4). Right, old one, shorter (V1.1). Or maybe adding something like this, or even more simple, tape something to cover the top end of the headlight. However I still recoment getting the light board replacement, as those will stop working sooner or later.
