Lightbulb Which light is best??

Hello,

I am in the market for a light for use mainly with 12/24 hour races and little adventure racing as well.

I am considering the Jet Lites Phantom Single Beam as well as the Light & Motion Arc series. I would like to start with helmet mount only.

I am leaning towards Jet Lites for the price. Just curious if anyone has any experience with these lights or any other feedback.

Thanks.

This topic has come up a number of times recently. Take a minute to search through the old posts.

thanks for the thread link....i knew i saw this in the past...must have been still sleepin during the pre-post search.

let me ask this then....i didn't see too much detail about the jet lites phantom. i have heard different things about whether or not the smart switch and fuel gauge are worth the extra coin. i know it's a little nickel and diming....just curious if anyone had some feedback.

thanks.

bty...here is another thread in regards to this topic.

i've had my phantom for almost 2 years and it works flawlessly... the only real problem with jet lites is they don't offer a lithium ion battery for their lights so the system can be heavy.
