Once committed to memory, however, it’s easier to use.Īnd again, in contrast, the LED mode and battery life indicators are easy to read even when on the move, plus the LED run time and battery life display is impossible to misinterpret. Set to its highest constant output, the Six Pack MK12 lasted for 2 hours 4 minutes in the run time test, slightly longer than Exposure claims.ĭespite the intuitive-feeling hands-off functionality of the Reflex++ modes, operating the light with its single button does require some studying of the instructions. It’s a seriously cool and refined feature, and means toggling modes during a ride, to either bump up luminosity or save battery, isn’t necessary. Once stopped, the light emitted fades down slowly, allowing your eyes to adjust to the lower output. Its motion-sensing Reflex++ mode is truly incredible, reacting quickly to how much power the terrain demands by increasing brightness in an instant. It also means there’s no bleaching in even the most focused part of the light’s beam. This mix of colours makes the trail pop, and the ground is lit perfectly in super-high-definition colour. Ian Linton / Our MediaĬombining two different types of colour in the beam makes it natural-feeling and very easy to see, not causing any eye strain or fatigue even after prolonged periods of riding. Six XPL2 LEDs produce an output of 5,250 lumens. The beam’s colour is split into two parts the close-up portion has a green/yellow tint, while the light projected further away has a blue/green hue. The LEDs’ hue is truly outstanding, making the trail come alive in vivid detail and clarity. ![]() It’s now wide enough to light up the exits of sharp turns and switchbacks, helping you spot lines while cornering, and still provides plenty of context down technical, gnarly trails.īeing fussy, the widest part of the beam’s spread could be closer to the light’s source to further improve how much of the peripheries it lights up, making it even easier to spot lines on the exits of turns.įurther along the beam’s projection, the spread widens, which gives exceptional illumination of straighter sections of trail.Īlong with the bright, central focal point that does an impeccable job of balancing outright power with usable, non-bleaching light, the cut-off to the sides of the beam is imperceptible, fading to dark rather than stopping abruptly. In terms of beam shape, Exposure has delivered on its promise to broaden the Six Pack’s spread. This vast power means there’s exceptional context on the trail, with nothing getting missed by the light’s all-illuminating beam. No lumen goes to waste, with almost the entirety of the trail dripping in light – there’s enough power to turn sections of track into daytime. ![]() The Six Pack MK12’s power is incredible, with a seriously long throw down the trail and an impressive spread across it. The Six Pack MK12’s powerful beam is a sight to behold.
