One of the brightest lights we've ever tested! Magicshine Monteer 8000S Bike Headlight Review

Advancements in LED designs and battery capacity mean that modern bike lights are capable of high lumen output while still retaining small form factors.The new Magicshine Monteer 8000S bike light is an excellent example of this trend as it incorporates an updated battery and LED setup into the previous generation Monteer 6500 bike light to achieve an impressive 8000 lumen output. Now a 8000 lumen Magicshine sounds familiar, that's because the Magicshine MJ-908 also carried that claim. However, while the MJ-908 had a theoretical 8000 lumen output (each of the 8 LEDs is capable of 1000 lumen output) the Monteer 8000S has a claimed FL-1 measured 8000 lumen output which is achieved with the updated Cree LEDs and a higher capacity battery pack design.

With a retail price of $399.00 the Monteer 8000S may be one of the most expensive lights Magicshine offers, but at 20 lumen per dollar it is still a bargain. To be able to provide enough energy to power the LEDs, the light uses Magicshine's updated MJ-6118 battery pack which consists of four 21700 Lithium ion batteries for an improved 7.2V / 10,000 mAh capacity. Not only is the Monteer 8000S the most powerful variation of the expanded Monteer product line (which has been expanded to include the Monteer 3500 and 5000), it is also one of the brightest lights Magicshine has offered to date. Is it practical to ride with an 8000 lumen bike light? The answer is probably not, but as light enthusiasts we are excited to see what the Monteer 8000S has to offer.
 
At first glance, the new Monteer 8000s looks a lot like the existing Monteer 6500. The compact aluminium headlamp design has in fact been carried over from the existing Monteer light. That isn't a bad thing, as it's a compact and sleek design with built-in fins for heat dissipation. Thanks to the wired battery pack design, the head lamp is surprisingly small but on the taller side to accommodate the five LED design. To achieve the higher 8000 lumen output, the Cree LEDs have been upgraded to three Cree XHP 50.2 and two XM-L2. Also carried over from the previous model is the single illuminated power button mounted on top of the housing. The wires exit the housing at a sharp right angle which makes it easy to route under your handlebars...
