Our ST3301 range has been designed to offer very strong mid-field illumination thanks to its larger diameter spot beam, and excellent visibility on the road shoulders in the nearfield Compared to bars like our ST4K & ST3K (which have a longer beam distance but slightly less overall brightness in comparison) our ST3301 forms a larger diameter spot which blends homogeneously with its wide beam. Perfectly suits the customer who is mainly concerned about wildlife running out from the road shoulders or those who need a huge amount of brightness and coverage in the mid short and mid-range. If you have pre-existing lights and are content beam distance you already have, ST3303 is a great supplementary lamp to take care of near and mid-field illumination.

Nightrider is a fun and exciting charity cycle ride where you can see London under the moonlit night sky, cycling past iconic landmarks and through historic streets. The first ever Nightrider London took place in 2010 with 300 cyclists and since then has gained tremendous success with over 21,000 cyclists having taken up the challenge to date!

Two different LED Light bars with different LED emitters can consume an equal number of Watts but differ widely in light Lumen output (aka Efficacy). For example, one 3W LED may have an efficiency of 128Lm/W where another may only have 65Lm/W, therefore, deciding which LED light bar or driving light to purchase based on Watt is very misleading.

You will start with a 1–mile lap of the road circuit before heading out towards north London. The cycle ride will finish where you begin making your journey there and home even simpler!

Lumens tells us how bright. Certainly, the lumen rating plays a part in determining the brightness of the light, but should never be the single deciding factor when choosing which LED light bar you should purchase. The reason we say this is, the ANSI standard for measuring lumens is in an integrated sphere, in other words, the lumen output is measured at close proximity to the light source.

With the move to the Pro range, we have brought across the elements from our Type X in terms of customization. With the new design, end caps are now able to be changed to the desired colour with a mild range available on release and more to be added shortly down the track.

Unlike any other driving light on the market, our ST2K series is designed for those needing excellent mid to long-range light distribution. It is important to note that the ST2K only starts to become effective at 150 to 200m, and will require a minimum of 100m of clear to form its beam. For this reason, we do not recommend the ST2K for dense bush & forest tracks. Due to its unique rear-facing LED with hooded reflectors, the ST2K will produce very little light in the near field but will produce a huge amount of coverage in the critical 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock region. Excellent for high-speed applications, or applications that warrant long braking distances. Often compared with our ST4K, the 2K & 3K are almost opposites in light distribution, but at the same time they go about achieving the same thing in a different way, picking between these two ultimately depends on the customer’s application.

The ST4K series LED Light Bars are our most popular range as we often refer to it as the "jack of all trades". If you're looking for a driving lamp that will meet the lighting requirement of as many situations as possible the ST4K is definitely our most versatile light. The ST4K biggest strength is its relentless beam throw, thanks to it being built on the same tech as our Type-X Spot Lights. Whilst the ST4K's claim to fame is market-leading beam distance, it still maintains a very useful flood beam. This is our 'go-to' light for the customer looking for a one-light solution. Versatile mounting systems with both side and adjustable sliding brackets make this light bar very easily suitable to a wide range of vehicle make / bullbar combinations.

When driving light manufacturers to carry out photometric testing to obtain isolux data, the goniophotometer used to test this metric only measures the peak intensity at the center of the entire beam, which is great, but what about the rest of the beam? If 5 different driving lights all have 1 lux at 500m, which one do you buy? To obtain remarkable isolux numbers it is simply a matter of focusing down the beam, but beam focusing comes at the expense of light coverage. The very best driving lights are the ones that strike the best possible balance between brightness (Lm) and beam throw (Lx). Some of the best of the best driving light manufacturers refuse to quote lux distance numbers on their flagship products because taken in isolation is misleading in particular when customer's are comparing Lux data between separate manufacturers. The best driving light isn't necessarily the one that achieves the longest beam throw. The best driving lights in our view are the ones that have a well-formed usable overall beam shape, and most importantly, the one which is best suited to the customer's application. In this regard, even the customer geographical location plays an important role. The nature of the roads in far north Queensland demands a different beam shape to that which is found in Victoria.

Lux is defined as being the measure of light intensity, as perceived by the human eye. It is the measure of light at a given distance on a surface. Driving light manufacturers have pushed aside Lumens in favour of Lux (Lx) and are 2016 latest buzz word in the driving light arena. Lux distance data is definitely an important metric but is misleading if considered in isolation. A laser pointer could theoretically have a peak beam distance of 5km at 1 lux, but I think we would all agree that a pair of laser pointers will make for an awful driving light.

In driving light terms, Lumen output is not the best indicator of the performance of any particular LED light bar or driving light, given we are more concerned about our driving lights performance at 20 to 300m.  As an example, you could have two light bars side by side with equal lumen ratings, but different reflector or lens configurations with hugely varying light output at say 150m.  In short, the delivered light  (lux) is the more appropriate rating. Two different lights bar both with 10,000 Lumens can have very different lux reading at 100m. We have seen Lux measurement of similar spec bars vary by 50% or more at a mere 10m, despite having identical on paper Lumen output. If we remove all of the optics or reflectors from any given light bar, the delivered lumens count doesn't change (in fact it is likely to go up), but needless to say, the beam performance is affected drastically.

In our buyer’s guide, you will find night shots we have spent a lot of time and effort in producing and ensuring are as accurate as possible. The night shots are there to help you get the best possible characterization of the overall beam shapes and brightness levels of the different lights within our range.

The Night Tube runs on Fridays and Saturdays on the Victoria, Jubilee, and most of the Central, Northern and Piccadilly lines.

In brief terms, Watts is a of measure the amount of energy consumed by any given luminaries. Thanks to older incandescent light bulbs, people are used to looking at Watts to determine light output.  With this older style technology, it is correct to assume that 100 Watt light bulb is likely to be brighter when compared to a 60 Watt bulb.  This same logic however cannot be applied to LED driving lights or LEDs in general. When it comes to LED, it is ok to think about Watts as a measure of input power, but it’s never ok to think of Watts as a measure of output.  There is no relationship between Watts & Lumens and no relationship between Watts & Lux when it comes to LED Driving Lights or LED Light Bars once the LED is placed inside of a circuit.

Have you ever wondered why the cheapest LED driving lights seem to have the highest “Watts”, and the premium gear produced by the most respected manufacturers have far less in comparison?

The most suitable bike is the one you have trained on. A lightweight road or hybrid bike would be our recommendation. If you are used to riding a mountain bike you are welcome to bring this, just be aware they are much heavier and therefore you’ll need more energy! If you have an alternative bike that you would like to investigate using, please contact one of the team who’ll be happy to advise.

LEDs' very existence is low power, high output. Big power consumption and big Watts go against the very existence of LEDs. All the high end cutting edge LEDs being released by the top tier manufacturers are consuming less and less current/Watts but produce even higher Lumens. In 2006 CREE's best LED on offer at the time was producing 131 Lumens Per Watt (LPW) - in 2014 their best emitter was producing 303 LPW.

Aside from the fact that most Lumen numbers we encounter are totally fictitious, there are many other important metrics that should be considered.

We recommend all bikes are serviced ahead of the ride and we advise everyone to pack a small puncture repair kit and any spare parts you think you might need. For safety reasons both front and rear bike lights are compulsory.

If you are cycling the 100km route you can plan for 6-8 hours. This accounts for stopping at the breakpoints en-route. If you are on the 50km route you will be 3-4 hours. You must be able to complete the total distance in 10 hours.

Shopping for the best LED Light bar or Driving Lights is a lot like shopping for a car, in that different customers have different lifestyles and therefore different requirements. Each one of our driving lights forms different beam shapes, so the best light bar really does come down to the best light bar for the given application.

The ST3K series provides a powerful punch in the low profile design. Identical beam geometry to the ST4K series, it offers excellent beam distance and a useful wide beam. Designed for the application that is tight on clearance, or for a customer that prefers the stealth low key look. The ST3K compared to ST3301 has a longer beam distance, but less overall brightness. The flood beam of the ST3K is not as effective as the ST3301.

We would highly recommend you service your bike before the ride. We are partnered with our friends at Bikebook, their website allows you to find local mechanics and compare services offered. Servicing your bike regularly is always a good idea to ensure it is safe and to make your rides enjoyable and problem free!

Our friendly mechanics will be available throughout the event to assist you and your bike. You will also be given the number of our roaming mechanic should you need assistance between water stops.

Both routes cost £55 per person. This includes a fully supported ride, complimentary water stops and not to mention that we’ll be waiting with your medal at the finish line!

It’s our most expensive light bar ever produced. The price is right up there, and so is the performance. You're going to need to spend more money to order a pair of high-end sunglasses, or welders mask so that you can safely use this bar while driving at night. If we’re being honest, no one needs a driving light with this level of performance. We only made it because the LED geeks in our team insisted that: “...it would be freakin’ cool”. The type of person that buys a driving light like this has a very strong light fetish and thinks that dropping a Cummins 6.7L in a Daihatsu Charade is adequate and appropriate. If you have ever had the privilege of witnessing the performance of our other bars in our range like the ST4K, you’d probably say “Why on earth does anyone need more light than this” – Well, the ST3303 PRO is precisely that, more.
