The Ultimate Combo? 11,500 Lumen Magicshine Monteer 3500S + Monteer 8000S Mountain Bike Light Combo

With 11,500 combined lumen output, the Magicshine Monteer 3500S and 8000S is one of the brightest and best headlight combinations Magicshine currently offers for mountain biking. Individually, both Magicshine Monteer lights offer impressive output and affordable price points but are even better together. The lightweight Monteer 3500S is ideal for helmet mounting with its long beam throw to see around corners, while the obscenely bright 8000S lights up the trail when handlebar mounted. The retail price of $610.97 for the combination of the Monteer 3500S ($199.99), 8000S ($399.99) and a helmet mount ($10.99) doesn’t sound cheap but at more than 19 lumen per dollar it’s hard to beat. The lights are FL-1 tested with measured maximum outputs of 3500 lumen for the Monteer 3500S and 8000 lumen for the Monteer 8000S. Both lights feature five CREE LED setups with aggressive dual row designs and CNC aluminum bodies for heat dissipation. Although we have reviewed both lights separately, we are excited to see how the combination performs together.

To take advantage of each light's strengths, Magicshine recommends helmet mounting the Monteer 3500S and handlebar mounting the Monteer 8000S. Both lights feature a Garmin style quarter turn mount molded directly into the base of the lights allowing them to be securely mounted. For the helmet mount, the included MJ-6276 has a simple Garmin mount that attaches to a GoPro style connector. This two-piece design allows the mount to be easily tiled upward or downward to optimize the light angle. While the helmet mount is well made, many mountain biking helmets such as the Lazer Jackal MIPS include more integrated GoPro mount options that allow you to skip the Magicshine helmet mount.

Visually the Monteer 3500S and 8000S look quite similar with aggressive five LED designs. The LEDs are laid out in two rows, three on top and two on the bottom. The top three LEDs act as flood lights with a wider beam angle than the two spot LEDs on the bottom row. Both lights feel premium and durable with CNC aluminium housings and heat dissipation fins directly cut into it. The Monteer 3500S is approximately 40% smaller than the Monteer 8000S as the heat dissipation requirements are lower. Aside from the larger size and product names printed on top of the lights they are nearly identical in design. We also like to point out that the wired connections from the headlamps feel more refined and robustly built than Magicshine’s previous wired bike lights such as the previous generation MJ-906...
