Default Jet Lites Phantom 20W Halogen helmet light

Picked up this light about a year ago and has worked awesome when i got to use it. It has 3 settings: 20W (2 hr. run time), 15W (3 hr. run time) and 10W (4 hr. run time). It comes with a smart charger that will automatically turn off the charger so it does not overcharge the battery. Lumen output is 675 and with the flood pattern it lights the trail up nicely while still have a hot spot beam.

rated 4.86/5.00 on MTBR and was the Best Light of 2007

Light will include:
  • helmet mount with on the fly angle adjustment and safety breakaway
  • light head
  • battery
  • smart charger
The Phantom single beam with smart switch is our most popular light. This product redefined the use of electronics in performance lighting. It’s just like our base unit but with the addition of our race proven smart switch technology. Our 3 light level smart switch allows you to extend your batteries burn time by reducing wattage use. You choose between two power saving settings, 25% and 50% off full power. Use the 50% setting for those slow up hill climbs and then as you summit switch back to full power for the daylight express as you descend.




goes for $320 new, asking $175 obo

interesting info, not the most scientific but a consistant test as done by francois over at mtbr (top 3)

Light Price Claimed Lumens Ambient Lux
Lupine Betty 12 $1,185 1400 65
Jet Lites Phantom Halogen $295 675 44
Niterider Trinewt $500 500 33

i may just end up keeping the light now, since there isn't a real reason to get rid of it

That head unit looks pretty small. Probably a great choice for someone looking for a headlamp to go with their bar light.
