Engineered for mountain biking and moto sports, the Full On Lighting MB6 is a multi-sport outdoor light. The four-person Full On team has a thorough background in industrial lighting, and their knowledge and passion for both lighting and cycling have led them to create a compact, portable light that fills gaps other lights on the market have missed. Tested and used by world champ riders on the rainy North Shore and in Squamish, the MB6 wants to light your next trail ride.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_9264.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"780\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&apos;%20viewBox=&apos;0%200%201170%20780&apos;%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_9264-1170x780.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-721900 lazy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_9264-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_9264-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_9264-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_9264-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_9264-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_9264-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_9264-600x400.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\">\n<h3 id=\"h-full-on-lighting-mb6-key-specs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full on Lighting MB6 key specs<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Up to 6,100 lumens<\/li>\n<li>2.5-hour battery life on high<\/li>\n<li>MB6 High Performance Light kit includes MB6 light, battery, USB-C cable (4.25\u2032 \/ 1.3m), curved and flat adhesive helmet mounts, USB-C dual port fast charger, and 2x Adhesive cable guides<\/li>\n<li>Price: $365 for the kit described here; $270 for the <a href=\"https:\/\/fullonlighting.com\/products\/mb6-e-bike-kit\">Avinox e-bike light kit<\/a> without a battery<\/li>\n<li>Buy from <a href=\"https:\/\/fullonlighting.com\/products\/mb6-mountain-bike-light\">Full On Lighting<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-full-on-lighting-mb6-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full On Lighting MB6 features<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MB6 is a weatherproof 6000-lumen ultra-wide beam light that can be mounted on your helmet or handlebar.\u00a0Full On says the light has been third-party photometry tested, and they believe that 6,000 lumens is the ideal peak output for both high-speed flow trails and technical descents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trails come in different shades of colors, so the MB6 was designed to provide a color temperature and color rendering index that balances visibility and natural contrast while night riding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;padding: auto;margin-bottom: 20px\" class=\"singl-bc9b74de18f903ebebce690f06d0e60d singl-content\" id=\"singl-bc9b74de18f903ebebce690f06d0e60d\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While brightness and color tones are important, peripheral illumination is another important factor while mountain biking. You not only need to see what\u2019s in front of you, but also what is above, below, right, and left of your central vision. The MB6 LEDs illuminate almost everything your eyes are seeing. With increased peripheral lighting, our brains can process motion and depth faster. This gives riders more confidence while riding, especially in technical terrain at faster speeds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped

class=\"wp-element-caption\">Active Light Control Mode<\/figcaption><\/figure><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">iPhone Raw samples to get a perspective of each mode<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-four-brightness-modes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Four brightness modes<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hangout Mode<\/strong>: This low-intensity mode activates the singular lower peripheral LED beam. This mode is perfect for gearing up before the ride or when you don\u2019t want to blind your friends during a rest stop. This mode peaks at 275 lumens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Manual Low Mode<\/strong>: This mode activates the three upper LEDs. Now you have four LEDs activated, which covers everything in front of you at a low brightness and is sufficiently bright to light your way along the trail. This mode is great for climbing or riding through non-technical trail sections while conserving battery. This mode peaks at 1,500 lumens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Manual High Mode<\/strong>: Manual High ups the brightness of the four LEDs to the next level. Here, you get a consistent, bright illumination intended for moderate speeds. This mode peaks at 3,800 lumens. I found this provides sufficient brightness to get down most descents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Active Light Control Mode<\/strong>: This is a highlight feature that allows the light to automatically adjust brightness based on speed. This mode starts off at a peak of 6,100 lumens and will adjust brightness every second based on rider speed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Active Light Control is most interesting to me because I\u2019ve never had a light that self-adjusts based on my riding speed. Sean, the founder of Full On Lighting, was happy to share what he could with the public about the tech inside the MB6. While he did start off by saying that there is some secret sauce inside the MB6 and he couldn\u2019t get into specifics, he did mention that temperature monitoring and regulation is important. The idea is that the faster you ride, the brighter the light will shine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the descent is over and the rider\u2019s speed drops, the light automatically drops to 1,500 lumens. This is controlled by an on-board intelligent energy management system that uses temperature fluctuations as a proxy for speed and determines which mode\/brightness to use. While riding, it was difficult to notice the brightness fluctuations at first, especially while in motion. But once you pay close attention, you are able to notice it working.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;padding: auto;margin-bottom: 20px\" class=\"singl-d9f66b7df7e10f6b5804e2df8e5f115b

Long ago, I owned a cheap Amazon bike light with a direct-beam lens. While it did an okay job of lighting up the darkness, I would start to get tunnel vision after a while, unable to see my surroundings as I rode down singletrack. Using the MB6 almost felt like having a car headlight on my head.

Full On Lighting claims the following runtimes for the MB6.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Active Light Control: 2.5 hours typically. This assumes an analog bike, with a mix of slow climbs, rolling terrain, and fast descents.\u00a0 E-Bike runtimes tend to be lower due to higher overall speeds and higher average lumen outputs.<\/li>\n<li>Manual High (3800 lumens): 2 hours<\/li>\n<li>Manual Low (1500 lumens): 6 hours<\/li>\n<li>Manual Hangout Mode (275 lumens): 22 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These claims match up well with my own experience. The best way to get the most out of the battery and light during a ride is to use the Active Light Control. And if you plan on riding longer than two hours, you can purchase a spare battery. The battery is charged using a dual-port, 48W USB-C power brick, which can charge the battery in close to two hours. While you can use more powerful power bricks to charge, it is refreshing to see Full On include a quality power brick with the battery.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/dji_export_20260617_021845_1781687925762_compose_0.mov\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Toggling through modes.

So, I reached for my 34.56Wh Anker portable power bank and plugged it into the light. It actually works, and the battery tells me how much power each mode is pulling. Check it out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

My 7idp Project 21 half-shell helmet has vent ports large enough for the velcro strap at the rear vents. This ended up being a comfortable place for the light. My Fox half-shell helmet, on the other hand, allows me to strap the light on the center vent ports, which worked as well.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;padding: auto;margin-bottom: 20px\" class=\"singl-f12516ec18237ef2a492c595963d8084 singl-content\" id=\"singl-f12516ec18237ef2a492c595963d8084\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the light, I ran the included 1.3m-long USB-C cable through my action camera chest strap at the rear to keep the cable from bouncing around. The cable had just the right amount of length to reach the battery that I strapped to the bottom of my hip pack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While riding a mixture of terrain, the battery and light never felt bulky. The MB6 inspires confidence, and I was very content with the high-output light at faster speeds. I noticed myself thinking more of my riding and enjoying the ride than about what might be lurking in the darkness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/dji_export_20260617_023332_1781688812915_compose_0.mov\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Climbing <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/dji_export_20260617_022512_1781688312807_compose_0.mov\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Descending<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/dji_export_20260617_022311_1781688191936_compose_0.mov\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">More descending<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With other bike lights, I usually point the beam slightly below the horizon. But with the MB6, I ended up pointing the beam slightly <em>above<\/em> the horizon. The peripheral coverage is that good. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beam is flood-like, with a good forward beam that reaches around fifteen meters or so while the wide beam covers the edges and peripheral vision well. Approaching tight bends with my head pointed straight ahead, the wide beam illuminates what\u2019s to come around the corner. The upshot is a night ride that feels more like a daytime ride.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each light comes preinstalled with settings profiles. If you\u2019d like to create a custom profile, you can work directly with Full On Lighting to dial in exactly what you need, either before you buy the light or later with their assistance at home. This option isn\u2019t really advertised on their website, but if you have read this far, well, now you know!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An electric mountain biker using an Avinox system that outputs 65W of power through its external USB-C control screen can run this light using the built-in bike battery. That means no MB6 battery to carry. But I\u2019ve found that it\u2019s best to always carry some sort of backup.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-sometimes-you-just-want-peak-brightness\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sometimes, you just want peak brightness<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While in Active Light Control Mode, the rider must trust the light to automatically adjust brightness. During my testing, I found that on some slower technical trail sections, such as rock gardens or root gardens, I wanted the full peak 6100-lumen output, but it felt like I was getting a bit less than that.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;padding: auto;margin-bottom: 20px\" class=\"singl-004b8f29e9982ce8a156cf0428e64186 singl-content\" id=\"singl-004b8f29e9982ce8a156cf0428e64186\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MB6 has a really well-designed integrated aluminum heat sink body that allows airflow to pass from the front to the back. It\u2019s a smart design with a molded polycarbonate shell on top that holds the large on\/off button. The underside of the aluminum body is exposed, however, and it does get very hot, as I learned the hard way. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team at Full On Lighting has an extensive background in industrial lighting, and it shows in the MB6. It\u2019s clear they created a quality light that they and others would love to use on the trail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $365 price tag ($495 for the Pro kit) may steer some riders away, and that\u2019s ok. After using the light system and learning as much as I could about the team at Full On Lighting, I can say that the MB6 is a well-engineered light made by smart people who love the sport. For the price, buyers get a well-designed, high-quality night light specifically made for mountain biking that can expand and enhance their night-riding experience into more aggressive styles of riding.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&lt;!&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Related articles<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 30px\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tjQuery(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tpostpayloads._a7a9d794058bf3bb4bf18f5caa506baf = {&#8220;ids&#8221;:&#8221;710174,707579,705300,658494&#8243;,&#8221;posts_per_page&#8221;:null,&#8221;offset&#8221;:0,&#8221;style&#8221;:&#8221;4up&#8221;};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tpostcounter._a7a9d794058bf3bb4bf18f5caa506baf = {start: 0, step: 0, end: 0};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"background: #fff\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-md-3 st_archive_4up\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.singletracks.com\/mtb-gear\/gloworm-cx-core-all-in-one-bike-light-review\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&apos;%20viewBox=&apos;0%200%201%201&apos;%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gloworm-cx-core-bike-light-1-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"A bright LED light illuminating a rocky surface in a dark environment, with soft shadows and surrounding foliage.\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"st_archive_tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singletracks.com\/gear\/accessories\/bike-lights\/\">Lights<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"st_archive_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singletracks.com\/mtb-gear\/gloworm-cx-core-all-in-one-bike-light-review\/\">Gloworm CX Core all-in-one bike light review<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-md-3 st_archive_4up\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.singletracks.com\/mtb-gear\/exposure-diablo-15-helmet-light-review-lightweight-116g-design-with-a-unique-tap-control\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&apos;%20viewBox=&apos;0%200%201%201&apos;%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/exposure-diablo-15-1-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"A close-up view of a green flashlight lens illuminated by a blue light, set against a blurred, dark background.
