- Model: Sol
- Manufacturer: NiteRider
The Sol uses the same great looking headlamp found on the MiNewt.X2. Make no mistake, the Sol not only looks good, but also delivers excellent performance.
The NiteRider Sol features a tiny cast aluminium head unit that is both durable and stylish. The cooling fins not only look good but dissipate heat from the super bright LED. The light from the LED is captured and focused using a specially developed reflector and then transmitted through a low-loss borofloat glass lens. The LED itself is the same as that used in the MiNewt X2 and when powered by the Ni-Mh battery pack it puts out a powerful 115 lumens of blue/white light.
Because it is so small, the Ni-MH battery can be placed under your stem, leaving your bottle cages free for a well earned drink. With the battery mounted so close to the head unit, there is no need for an unsightly, and unsafe, tangle of cables. The battery is held in place with a single loop of velcro, and the head unit is held on with tabbed O-ring, so the whole system can be fitted and removed in seconds.
Charging and maintaining batteries has never been easier, just plug it in and walk away. The Sol charger does the rest, making certain your battery never overcharges. When left connected for longer periods of time, the charger monitors battery levels and periodically charges the battery to keep it at optimum levels. Never before have so many features been offered at an affordable price.
