NEUSTADT, GERMANY & OLNEY, IL, USA -- SIGMA SPORT's new Mirage X Combo
lighting system brightens the view for cyclists who need a light that throws
out a lot of candlepower, without throwing out a lot of cash.
The Mirage X Combo ($79.99 including bottle cage battery and charger) pairs
a wildlife-freezing 20 Watt halogen lamp emitting 60 LUX/6000 candlepower
with a 5 Watt lamp throwing 20 LUX/2000 candlepower.
German automotive safety laws have long restricted cycling lights to 5 Watt
lamps, leading to real innovation in reflector technology. SIGMA SPORT has
integrated the best light distribution technology into the Mirage and Mirage
X lighting system to maximize battery power and visibility on the trail
ahead. The system's lights can be mounted directly to the bike's handlebars
using integrated, tool-free ratcheting mounting brackets. Alternately, the
included stem mount bracket can be attached to the stem (without tools) to
support both lamps. The on/off switches are mounted together at the stem.
SIGMA SPORT's uniquely designed high performance sealed lead acid battery
pack charges completely in 5 -6 hours, and will power the system's 5 Watt
lamp for 3.5 hours. The battery box secures in a bottle cage on the frame
with a rubber suspension strap. The entire lighting system is completely
watertight.
The SIGMA SPORT Mirage is part of a complete line including the
rear-flashing safety Diode, and the casual riding 2.5 Watt rechargeable
Ellipsoid.
