Key Features:
-
High Lumen Output: Delivers up to 2,000 lumens, positioning it among the brightest dynamo lights available.
-
Integrated Battery System: Equipped with a 1,600 mAh lithium-ion battery, the Revo 5 offers a hybrid system that allows riders to pre-charge the light, ensuring maximum output even at reduced speeds.
-
Intelligent Lighting Modes: Features two built-in programs:
- Infinite Runtime Mode: Ideal for long-distance bikepacking, this mode utilizes available power from the dynamo, with output varying according to speed. It also facilitates device charging without the need for additional switches or junction boxes.
- Fixed Output Mode: Suited for shorter rides, this mode provides a consistent light output using power from the internal battery, with the dynamo charging the battery during the ride. External charging sources, such as power banks, are also compatible.
-
Versatile Beam Settings: Both modes include High, Low, and DayBright pulse settings, easily selected with a single press of the function button.
-
Durability and Design: Constructed from 6063 anodized aluminum, the Revo 5 boasts an IP68 waterproof-tested body and a 12° spot beam. It includes two USB-C ports (input and output) and offers battery-only runtimes ranging from 30 minutes on high to 3 hours on low, with DayBright pulse exceeding 12 hours.
-
Compatibility and Charging: Compatible with all AC dynamo hubs, the Revo 5 comes with a 1.2-meter connection cable. Fully pre-charging the light takes approximately 45 minutes at a cycling speed of 15 miles per hour, with no other system drains.
