Sinewave Cycles Beacon 2 Headlight

The Beacon can be powered by a dynamo, an external USB battery pack, or both.  An external USB battery can be connected using the barrel connector on the back of the light.  A USB-to-barrel cable is available.  The external battery will maintain high brightness and steady output, even when stopped.  When you begin riding, the power from the dynamo will begin to replace the power from the battery until you reach a speed where the dynamo is able to provide all of the power, and the battery is no longer used.  When you slow down the light resumes using the battery so the beam doesn't dim or flicker.

This is a summary of the new and improved features of Beacon 2.  These are explained in more detail in the entries below.

• Greatly reduced flickering at low speed.
• Low brightness mode for dynamo and external battery power.
• Standlight is controlled by toggle switch and can be turned off.
• Standlight charges even when the light is off.
• Blinking mode when using external battery power.
• Taillight output is powered by the external battery input in addition to the dynamo.
• Regulated taillight output for more efficient taillight performance; no resistor needed when using Supernova E3 taillight.

Features:

Steady light output

• Flicker-free light down to 3-4 MPH.
  

Integrated USB Charger

• Charge your phone, GPS, or any other USB device directly from the Beacon; no need for a separate charger.

Flexible Power Options

750 Lumens

• Lots of light, suitable for any style of riding. 

Symmetrical Beam Pattern

• Ideal choice for off-road riding.

Superior brightness at low and medium speeds

• Dynamo power is optimized at low-to-medium speeds, reaching 100 lumens at 5 MPH, 375 lumens at 8 MPH, 600 lumens at 10 MPH, and 750 lumens at 13 MPH.

Low Brightness Mode

• A reduced brightness mode for situations where full brightness is not needed, and for easy power sharing between the light and charger.
  

Standlight

• A supercapacitor, charged while riding, provides about 5 minutes of standlight when stopped.  The standlight can be turned off with the toggle switch.

Blinking Mode

• A blinking mode is available when using external battery power.
  

Color Options

• We are able to mix-and-match different colors for the front, middle, and back of the Beacon.  Pick a combination that matches your bike or represents your country or team.  Contact us about custom colors.

Mounting Options

• The 10mm mounting tab is compatible with mounting hardware from B&M, Supernova, Schmidt, etc.

Compact Design

• L x W x H - 58 x 42 x 42mm
• 115g (includes 36" dynamo wire)

Taillight Output

• A taillight output is available and is controlled by the headlight
  

Better Color Temperature

• While still in the "cool white" range, the Beacon generates slightly warmer light than other LED headlights.  This results in less glare, less strain on your eyes, and does a better job reproducing natural colors.

Weatherproof

• Designed to be used in any conditions.  Multiple seals protect against water ingress, electronics are potted in epoxy, and all connectors are gold plated and designed for resistance to the elements.

Made in the USA

• All Sinewave products are made in the USA.  The Beacon is the only commercially available dynamo light made in the USA.

Warranty

• 3 years
