The light comes with multiple different light modes which can easily be switched between to find the best lighting for your current environment’s lighting and depleting battery life. The light modes include a Boost mode, flashing and constant modes as well as an SOS mode. Additionally, the Day Flash mode keeps you visible during daylight rides.
The Moon Meteor Storm Dual Bike Light is one of the most technically advanced and versatile front LED bicycle lights on the market in 2020. Featuring two different tone LEDs for enhanced daylight and night-time visibility; a powerful output to illuminate the road or trail; and a highly impressive battery life—the Meteor Storm Dual could be the only front light that you need for year-round bike riding. There is also a remote button that plugs into the USB port on the underside of the light and mounts to the bar to give an alternative to using the button on the light. The Meteor Storm Dual recharges in just 2.5 hours thanks to the fast-charging USB-C cable. It shows the charge level on the top of the light and the unit will disconnect from the charging current when fully charged—to avoid battery damage. Bright white LEDs trump the older yellowish halogen bulbs pretty much everywhere except when it is foggy. Even on their lowest settings all you end up with is a load of glare as it lights up the cloud in front of you rather than the road.The Meteor Storm Pro has a remote, bar mount and helmet mount in the box. Alex Evans Moon Meteor Storm Pro bottom line I used this on PBP with a cache battery and running at setting 3 (around 300/400w) on mine lasted through the night, so three topups and I was well lit for four nights running. I have never used 1200w on the road. Setting 3 was good enough for unknown roads at decent speeds. The Meteor has two LEDs. One is a 'warm white' (3000K) on the Kelvin Scale of measuring colour temperature, which is basically quite yellowish, while the other is 'cool white' sitting at around 6500K. The modes themselves have something for just about all situations, with the maximum 800-lumen setting enough for dark roads and lanes, and the varying flashing modes ideal for low light or day use. One of the five flashing modes is an emergency pattern, signalling SOS in morse code. For the quality of the build, the outputs and battery life, the Meteor Dual is a good option for money, in my eyes.
When it comes to weatherproofing, I also didn't have any issues. It's been pretty wet of late and I've been caught out in many torrential downpours.
The light comes with an ultra-rugged design with a CNC aluminium heat sink construction that offers the maximum protection from impacts and abrasions. The casing unit also comes with an IPX4 water resistant certification which keeps out water, dirt, dust, and grime. Matrix LED Display After waiting a few weeks of the test period, I finally woke up to a foggy dark morning with very poor visibility... Performance
With five constant modes, five flashing and a boost, the Meteor Storm Pro can be set to provide the ideal output for just about any riding environment. Naturally, the 1700-lumen full beam is best for particularly dark conditions whether on a bike path, trail or country lane, while dimmed settings (850 and 450 lumens, for example) are good for better lit and traffic-heavy areas such as town riding. The 2-hour run-time at 1700 lumens is more than enough for an evening ride and you can get up to 25 hours (claimed) on the lowest 150-lumen setting. I realise a two-part light and battery unit are more of a pain to set up, and a smaller battery would reduce power and run-time, but it's a point to note if you're after a sleek look or light weight. Conclusion For maximum output on dry roads I did find using both LEDs wasn't quite as good as using a powerful light with just white LEDs, as the mix of the white and yellow just takes the edge off the sharpness of the beam, but it's a small price to pay for use in rubbish weather. The light features 2 CREE XM-L high brightness LEDs—one of which is a warmer yellow colour to help with visibility in foggy, misty, or wet weather conditions—by reducing glare. This neat development works very well indeed, and it is simple to change between the 'warm white' and 'cool white' LEDs by pressing the Variable Lumen System (VLS) button on the unit.With both LEDs on the output is 1300 lumens (Boost), 800 lumens (Mode 1) and 100 lumens (Mode 2); with run times of 2 hours, 3 hours, and 25 hours respectively. For convenient charging the light comes with an internal battery and is USB rechargeable. The light can be fully recharged in just 6 hours and the light comes with a battery life of up to 100 hours. Mounting The Meteor Storm Pro is designed for durability and style. The chassis contains 2 Cree LEDs for superior output. The light’s plethora of modes means that it isn’t especially intuitive to master without studying the instructions carefully. Once the way it works is imprinted into your mind, operation isn’t hugely challenging, though. The battery indicator works well and it remained in boost mode until nearing the very end of its battery’s capacity, only reducing its output once the last battery indicator LED started flashing.
I also tested the helmet mount; I don't normally ride with a light on my lid, and this certainly didn't convince me otherwise. The flat plate didn't sit too well on my helmet, and the Velcro strap that you have to feed through the vents never felt too secure. The extra weight also felt odd to me, but if you use a helmet light more regularly you might find it perfectly acceptable. A la modes The remote button plugs in underneath and is attached with a Velcro strap. Its lead is 35cm long, which is more than enough for a road bike and should be sufficient for most mountain bike bars too. However, I did find that even when done up as tight as possible the button would slide around the bar, the small rubber pad not enough to keep it in place. I fixed this by using a cable tie in place of the strap.Battery life is good, and I often achieved in excess of all of the claimed burn times I tested by around 10%. You can follow progress of how much juice you have left by way of the matrix display, which also tells you what mode you are in. A better cooling system can increase both the run time and brightness of an LED; the lights performance can be improve 15%-30% by managing the heat.
