I ride with one cheap Amazon blinky, keep it pointed down so I’m not blinding people. They can still see me. Have another light that I use to see with. Brighter but I turn it on when needed.
I would love to wire up an ebike like a motorcycle haha Day time running lights, High/low beam, brake light, signal lights all connected to nice handlebar switches. THATS what I want haha overkill for a pedal bike but I'm going for the Emoto feel
That's what I'm trying to do. But I can't seem to find the light profile for the lights. I want it dipped at the top and all on the floor. So wide but but straight at the top so I don't block blind cars.
Hey Johnny, the Magic Shine looks like it wasn't even on at all, it just looks dark. with the very faintest hint of seeing the fence. I suspect you got the wrong image.
The Raven you added to my Bike has been awesome. The many different light levels allows me to select the exact amount of light I need for the environment I'm riding in. So far, I haven't had to recharge it after many hours of use. It is nice to have the option to really light it up when needed ! I plan to hard wire it at some point.
I really like the mid drive plug n play light set you sold me headlight, taillight, turn signal and horn. During the day I use the tail light as a brake light. The horn rocks
Great video. I just received my bbs02 from you yesterday and hadn't given a ton of thought to lights other than to get one. lol This gave me a great place to start!
I recently stumbled on the "Detour" by Outbound Lighting, made in the USA. Produces a lot of light that is well manage with a pair in-house engineered cut-off beams. Therefore, providing plenty of lumens without blinding on coming traffic. Great mounting options are available and is USB-C rechargeable. Not cheep, but if you want to own the night this is your light.
thanks for this! ive been looking everywhere for a spotlight to mount on my FPV drone to fly and film at night and the leorx is exactly what i was looking for! visiting from the fpv drone community!
fyi : just so ya know, they could not steal my bike because it was locked so well. But some sub human piece of 💩, stole my nice high beam mini flashlight out of its handlebar holder while I was in the movie theatre one evening. Had to ride home with no light. 🤬 Unfortunately they are still out there.🧟♂️
I put two 350 lumens lights and two strobe lights on an electric wheelchair. The lights point down about 15 to 20 feet in front of the chair in case I have to ride the street because of poorly maintained sidewalks. I also have reflective tape everywhere.
I have "Lights, Mirror and Bell" for my E'-CELLS Super Monarch Crown e-mountain bike. 1,200 lumen flashing/multi mode Bontrager handlebar headlight, generic, plug-in 300 lumen light above the front fender, 800lumen multimode/flashing tail light. Plus spoke reflectors and Pearl Izumi riding vest.
I got a nice cheap set off Amazon. It’s rechargeable. Doesn’t plug into my BBSHD. That would be useful as I can turn the headlight on easily while riding but I can’t reach the tail light. Also I have recharged the headlight once and it took a long time even though I’d only used it a little bit. Having only one big battery to recharge would be a convenience.
I really enjoy your content Johnny. Smart, great content, funny and entertaining all in one. I have a bbshd from em3ev which came without a lead for a light (they claimed at the time that it's not good for the motor or controller, or maybe they just didn't have one in stock?). Which wire can I tap into if I want an integrated light?
@@JohnnyNerdOut thanks, that what I did, but I was going there was a way to get to the supposed lead for lights. Surprising that some come with the lead and some don't.
Really is a pisser that the controller/display hints at one and searching gives you Johnny's answer. Same issue on Luna's. Not an available option. May be the power load is too unpredictable across users Simple light central controls would be a blessing. Varia also still falling short on this, and CA3 is still fiddly.
A little disappointed in the reviews. The lights were left in plastic so couldn't see what they looked like. Also the Raveman had 4 settings but you didn't show them. NE1000, 5:07 was it even on? An idea of cost would have helped too. Love the channel Johnny 👍
The me1000 supposedly is brighter with a 12v system. It didn’t look very bright in the video (it was the dimmest). Check sites for prices as they change. 👍
I wish I watched this video and listened before getting hit by a car! I am trying to get a ebike light from light and motion. they say they can be wired but I dont know if it can be integrated with bbs02. I cant find any reviews on them and the info is scarce on their website. I am a student athlete at northwestern university in Chicago area so I ride before the sun comes up in the morning to practice.
That 6v bafang specific light with the wires that plug into the controller, are not that bright... Will the better Magigshine ME1000 or ME2000 connect to the same 6v wires to be controlled with the on/off on the display? Are these compatible with the Bafang (w/wires from controller) or do those need to bypass the 6v wires off the bafang, and need to plug into a 36-60v directly..?
@@JohnnyNerdOut is it possible the magicshine ME 1000 and 2000 run on 48 or 52v direct wiring.. That may be why it is not 1000 lumen or 2000 lumen. watched the wiring demo for Bosch and Steps, where they wired directly to the battery voltage post.. I think Bafang has a stepdown to 6v for the weaker lights..
Where do you start when selecting an LED light to match your speed controller I have a 24 V 350 W speed controller do I get a 24 V light or do I buy a 12 V light how to test what voltage is coming out of a light circuit
Could you perhaps tell me what the output voltage is of the lighting wiring on the BBS02B? Will that be enough to power two of the 2000lmn lights? Mine has the following controller in: HZXT SZZ9 hardware 1.1 / 25Amps I ordered two of the WUPP lights and I am doubting to connect them to the light output or to the battery (48v) with a switch in between. Thanks in advance! Btw, I enjoy your videos! You inspired me to build my first ebike. And have already started on the next :) thanks!
@@JohnnyNerdOut thank you. Thats what I guessed but couldn't find it in the documentation online. I will be attaching the lights directly on the 48v battery than.
Bro the way I always say it is " I don't give a flip what anybody else thinks about me, I love me! So I don't want anyone that hits me to be able to tell the cop, ' well I did not see him. ' The cop is going to know they were lying!
You never get back to me on any follow up questions which I understand your Chanel is just getting bigger and you’re short on time but I asked if I can fit a hub motor from a mag wheel on the front you said no so can I switch the wheels
I've been watching you along time and learn alot. I plan on building my bike soon.
Bought a handle bar adapter and mounted a QUALITY brand name tactical flashlight. Best bang for dollar in bike lights. PERIOD.
Any recommendations?
I have the flashlight mount that Olight makes. Been using it for years with S2Rii baton. It's awesome
@@umamichefd cool thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks for featuring our Vont Breeze! A cheap yet powerful bike light that will absolutely serve its purpose!💙
One must remember lights are not just for us to see but so others can see us.
Blinky DLY are very conspicuous
@@whazzat8015 Exactly.
I ride with one cheap Amazon blinky, keep it pointed down so I’m not blinding people. They can still see me.
Have another light that I use to see with. Brighter but I turn it on when needed.
@@fortyforfree I’m similar, I have a rear red blinky too.
I would love to wire up an ebike like a motorcycle haha Day time running lights, High/low beam, brake light, signal lights all connected to nice handlebar switches. THATS what I want haha overkill for a pedal bike but I'm going for the Emoto feel
Not really overkill. Bike lights are way too fiddly. blinky DRL are a big enhancer.
That's what I'm trying to do. But I can't seem to find the light profile for the lights. I want it dipped at the top and all on the floor. So wide but but straight at the top so I don't block blind cars.
Hey Johnny, the Magic Shine looks like it wasn't even on at all, it just looks dark. with the very faintest hint of seeing the fence. I suspect you got the wrong image.
Nice spot ……i thought i was losing it 🤭
No it was set to the same setting, camera-wise. However it was only a 6v signal. To get full brightness it needs 12v.
The Raven you added to my Bike has been awesome. The many different light levels allows me to select the exact amount of light I need for the environment I'm riding in. So far, I haven't had to recharge it after many hours of use. It is nice to have the option to really light it up when needed ! I plan to hard wire it at some point.
I like the idea of having both😀 as a backup.

I just got the NiteRider Lumina 650 set with tail light on eBay. Im ok with it.
@@pennytr8er Cool! I'll have to check that one out. Appreciate the suggestion.

You’d have to tap into the main battery and get a step down converter

What do you think of the Armageddon light by biktrix?
Looks like a great light, but why $299?! should be $29.99. Sheesh does it come with a sandwich or something? That price actually makes me mad.
@@JohnnyNerdOut I know it seems like a crazy price for a light. Dude thanks for this great content!
Please always point your light down, there is nothing more annoying than a cyclist that points the light straight.
