But how does it fare out in the real world, and does anyone really need a 12000-lumen bike light with twice the output as the brightest of its rivals? We tested the Monteer 12000 out on the trails to find out.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-e4657c9a-bce4-11f1-9033-5b2a62c6e66b\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The Monteer is mounted in a machined aluminum twin clamp, which straddles the front of the stem <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Paul Burwell)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"design-and-specifications-3\">Design and specifications<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-e4657d8a-bce4-11f1-bd8d-6d1e96f1392d-0\">Magicshine stacks five LEDs in the Monteer 12000\u2019s aluminium lamp unit, combining a large central spot with four smaller angled units.

There\u2019s a little bit of sequencing to access the different options, requiring you to double-press the remote to go from the flashing modes to the dedicated mountain bike modes, but once sorted, you can then toggle up and down quickly. To allow some further customisation, Magicshine also has a dedicated light app for both iOS and Android. You do have to reconnect the light each time via Bluetooth and the app is a little clunky to use, but you can do a full custom tune.<\/p>\n<p>The lamp unit is mounted in a machined aluminium twin clamp, which straddles the front of the stem. It fits 35mm bars out of the box, but shims are provided for smaller bar diameters.<\/p>\n<p>The cells that make up the 14.4V 10,000mAh battery are all housed inside a durable plastic case. This has a slight profile, so it sits relatively neatly against a frame tube and is secured via two Velcro-backed straps.<\/p>\n<p>If you press the button on the side of the battery, it illuminates a small fuel gauge. This has four bars, which roughly equates to 22 percent for each bar, with the last 10 percent shown as a flashing red bar. This isn\u2019t as accurate as a percentage figure, but it\u2019s a bit easier to see when in the saddle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-jrWotZq7X2GkSjRdDKGLLa\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-jrWotZq7X2GkSjRdDKGLLa slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On the end of the battery pack is an input for the power cable and another for the USB-C charging cable.

This eliminates a lot of vibration and it\u2019s also a hinged design, so you can attach it without moving the controls or grip. The fixing bolts are also on the top for ease of access.<\/p>\n<p>By loosening the small lever on one side, you can pivot the lamp in the clamp on the trail \u2013 but unfortunately, we snapped this on our sample. There is a small hex bolt on the opposite side that does a similar job, but how long this will last is unknown.<\/p>\n<p>The beam pattern produced by the Monteer 12000 isn\u2019t quite as smooth as some, and there is a definite hard edge between the flooded areas and the spot beam. It\u2019s not quite as white or as crisp as Exposure&#8217;s lights, but picking out the detail is never an issue. The amount of light on full beam is insane, and you can see as far and as wide as you want.<\/p>\n<p>In tight trees and dense undergrowth, there\u2019s quite a bit of bounce back, so I often rode in the medium 6,000 lumen setting in the trees and on climbs. That way you can also extend the 2.2hr run time on full beam to over seven hours. The battery is big enough to do the whole of the night portion of a 24hr race on a single charge, but one of the downsides is it will take most of the rest of the day to recharge.<\/p>\n<p>With so much power going into the lamp, it also gets pretty hot. To keep it as cool as possible there&#8217;s an air intake at the front of the light and an exhaust port at the rear, as well as a couple of cooling fins. But if you\u2019re worried, you can also monitor the temperature via the app.<\/p>\n<p>The clamp design allows you to mount the lamp below the level of the stem keeping the weight low, but that tool-free adjustment needs to be a bolt, one that you can replace easily if damaged. I\u2019d also like to see wider Velcro straps for the battery and a more integrated system for the remote mounting.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-e4657f60-bce4-11f1-b6e5-9d5c5c95c9b6\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The battery has a capacity of 10,000mAh and is secured via two Velcro-backed straps <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Paul Burwell)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"verdict-3\">Verdict<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-e4658050-bce4-11f1-8d1f-c5a28df0fff4\">With this amount of output for this amount of money, the Monteer 12000 is very impressive. If you\u2019re hitting 30 to 40mph down a gravel road descent at night, its got your back on full power<\/p>\n<p>However, from a purely practical point of view, toggling down to 6,000 or even 3,000 lumens means you can get seriously good run times, and that&#8217;s how I use it most of the time. Plus, the lower settings mean you don\u2019t have to battle glare bouncing back from objects ahead of you, and they are still bright enough for rapid off-road night rides.<\/p>\n<aside data-article-category=\"cycling-kit-accessories\" data-block-type=\"embed\" data-model-name=\"Magicshine Monteer 12000\" data-name=\"BOT widget\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-widget-type=\"review\" class=\"ecom-root\">\n<div class=\"hawk-main-editorial-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-title-container\">Magicshine Monteer 12000: Price Comparison<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-items-container hawk-review-items-grid-items\" data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-container hawk-review-items-grid-item\" data-expandable=\"0\" data-stacked=\"0\" data-load-more=\"false\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-main-container hawk-review-items-grid-item-main\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\" data-expanded=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"image\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/search-api.fie.futurecdn.net\/img\/misc\/no-image-available.svg\" alt=\"View Similar Amazon US\" title=\"View Similar Amazon US\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-product-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"78\" height=\"70\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"merchant\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.fie.futurecdn.net\/logos\/merchants\/amazon-us-15006529670367-100-80.png.webp\" alt=\"Amazon\" title=\"Amazon\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-logo-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"80\" height=\"40\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"priceLink\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-main-price-container\">\n<div><span class=\"hawk-display-price-container\" data-type=\"buySimilar\"><span class=\"hawk-display-price-price\">No price information<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Check Amazon<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-footer-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-footer-description\">We check over 250 million products every day for the best prices<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-powered-by-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-powered-by-inner-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-powered-by-powered-by-container\">powered by <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/search-api.fie.futurecdn.net\/img\/sites\/svg\/cyclingnews.svg\" alt=\"Cyclingnews\" title=\"Cyclingnews\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-site-logo-powered-by\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"60\" height=\"30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block mb-5\" id=\"articleTag\" data-component-name=\"PostArticleLinks\" data-nosnippet data-mrf-recirculation=\"post-article-links\">\n<div class=\"border-b border-b-black border-solid py-2.5 text-black font-bold uppercase\">TOPICS<\/div>\n<nav class=\"py-2.5 flex gap-2.5 flex-wrap\" data-analytics-id=\"article-tag\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"article-tag\">\n<p>Tech<\/p>\n<p>Mountain Bike<\/p>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-jrWotZq7X2GkSjRdDKGLLa\" class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio-jrWotZq7X2GkSjRdDKGLLa slice-container-authorBio\">\n<div class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio slice-container-authorBio\" id=\"slice-container-authorBio\" data-component-name=\"Slice:AuthorBio\">\n<div class=\"author author__default-layout author--separator author--collapsible\" data-author-bio-max-height=\"250\" data-author-bio-read-more=\"Read more\" data-author-bio-read-less=\"Read less\">\n<div class=\"author__header\">\n<div class=\"author__avatar-block\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div>\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pVdqDtyFFEaALM9iRM962X-140-80.png.webp 140w\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__heading\">\n<div class=\"author__name\">\n<p>Paul Burwell<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__role\">Freelance MTB tester<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"relative max-w-[1070px] viafoura-twig-component mt-6 mx-4 lg:mx-0\" data-component-name=\"Viafoura:Comments\" data-nosnippet data-community-guidelines-text=\"&lt;p class=&apos;vfcustom-community-guidelines&apos;&gt;Please follow our &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/about\/#section-community-guidelines&quot;

the power and tech in its more recent models.<\/p>\n<p>The Monteer 12000 is the most powerful light the brand has ever made and is also the brightest bike light on the market. But how does it fare out in the real world, and does anyone really need a 12000-lumen bike light with twice the output as the brightest of its rivals? We tested the Monteer 12000 out on the trails to find out.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-e4657c9a-bce4-11f1-9033-5b2a62c6e66b\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NvqpoSBo27wMhGqeeEZutk-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The Monteer is mounted in a machined aluminum twin clamp, which straddles the front of the stem <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Paul Burwell)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"design-and-specifications-3\">Design and specifications<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-e4657d8a-bce4-11f1-bd8d-6d1e96f1392d-0\">Magicshine stacks five LEDs in the Monteer 12000\u2019s aluminium lamp unit, combining a large central spot with four smaller angled units. The lamp has a simple on\/off switch and you can toggle between the flood and spot beams or power up both.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">Cyclingnews<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>To save you from reaching over to adjust, the light comes with a bar-mounted remote, which is already bound into the light. There\u2019s a little bit of sequencing to access the different options, requiring you to double-press the remote to go from the flashing modes to the dedicated mountain bike modes, but once sorted, you can then toggle up and down quickly. To allow some further customisation, Magicshine also has a dedicated light app for both iOS and Android. You do have to reconnect the light each time via Bluetooth and the app is a little clunky to use, but you can do a full custom tune.<\/p>\n<p>The lamp unit is mounted in a machined aluminium twin clamp, which straddles the front of the stem. It fits 35mm bars out of the box, but shims are provided for smaller bar diameters.<\/p>\n<p>The cells that make up the 14.4V 10,000mAh battery are all housed inside a durable plastic case. This has a slight profile, so it sits relatively neatly against a frame tube and is secured via two Velcro-backed straps.<\/p>\n<p>If you press the button on the side of the battery, it illuminates a small fuel gauge. This has four bars, which roughly equates to 22 percent for each bar, with the last 10 percent shown as a flashing red bar. This isn\u2019t as accurate as a percentage figure, but it\u2019s a bit easier to see when in the saddle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-jrWotZq7X2GkSjRdDKGLLa\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-jrWotZq7X2GkSjRdDKGLLa slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On the end of the battery pack is an input for the power cable and another for the USB-C charging cable.

This eliminates a lot of vibration and it\u2019s also a hinged design, so you can attach it without moving the controls or grip. The fixing bolts are also on the top for ease of access.<\/p>\n<p>By loosening the small lever on one side, you can pivot the lamp in the clamp on the trail \u2013 but unfortunately, we snapped this on our sample. There is a small hex bolt on the opposite side that does a similar job, but how long this will last is unknown.<\/p>\n<p>The beam pattern produced by the Monteer 12000 isn\u2019t quite as smooth as some, and there is a definite hard edge between the flooded areas and the spot beam. It\u2019s not quite as white or as crisp as Exposure&#8217;s lights, but picking out the detail is never an issue. The amount of light on full beam is insane, and you can see as far and as wide as you want.<\/p>\n<p>In tight trees and dense undergrowth, there\u2019s quite a bit of bounce back, so I often rode in the medium 6,000 lumen setting in the trees and on climbs. That way you can also extend the 2.2hr run time on full beam to over seven hours. The battery is big enough to do the whole of the night portion of a 24hr race on a single charge, but one of the downsides is it will take most of the rest of the day to recharge.<\/p>\n<p>With so much power going into the lamp, it also gets pretty hot. To keep it as cool as possible there&#8217;s an air intake at the front of the light and an exhaust port at the rear, as well as a couple of cooling fins. But if you\u2019re worried, you can also monitor the temperature via the app.<\/p>\n<p>The clamp design allows you to mount the lamp below the level of the stem keeping the weight low, but that tool-free adjustment needs to be a bolt, one that you can replace easily if damaged. I\u2019d also like to see wider Velcro straps for the battery and a more integrated system for the remote mounting.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-e4657f60-bce4-11f1-b6e5-9d5c5c95c9b6\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NjHDqEUaGosRQZSLZmUckh-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The battery has a capacity of 10,000mAh and is secured via two Velcro-backed straps <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Paul Burwell)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"verdict-3\">Verdict<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-e4658050-bce4-11f1-8d1f-c5a28df0fff4\">With this amount of output for this amount of money, the Monteer 12000 is very impressive. If you\u2019re hitting 30 to 40mph down a gravel road descent at night, its got your back on full power<\/p>\n<p>However, from a purely practical point of view, toggling down to 6,000 or even 3,000 lumens means you can get seriously good run times, and that&#8217;s how I use it most of the time. Plus, the lower settings mean you don\u2019t have to battle glare bouncing back from objects ahead of you, and they are still bright enough for rapid off-road night rides.<\/p>\n<aside data-article-category=\"cycling-kit-accessories\" data-block-type=\"embed\" data-model-name=\"Magicshine Monteer 12000\" data-name=\"BOT widget\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-widget-type=\"review\" class=\"ecom-root\">\n<div class=\"hawk-main-editorial-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-title-container\">Magicshine Monteer 12000: Price Comparison<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-items-container hawk-review-items-grid-items\" data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-container hawk-review-items-grid-item\" data-expandable=\"0\" data-stacked=\"0\" data-load-more=\"false\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-main-container hawk-review-items-grid-item-main\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\" data-expanded=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"image\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/search-api.fie.futurecdn.net\/img\/misc\/no-image-available.svg\" alt=\"View Similar Amazon US\" title=\"View Similar Amazon US\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-product-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"78\" height=\"70\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"merchant\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.fie.futurecdn.net\/logos\/merchants\/amazon-us-15006529670367-100-80.png.webp\" alt=\"Amazon\" title=\"Amazon\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-logo-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"80\" height=\"40\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"priceLink\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-main-price-container\">\n<div><span class=\"hawk-display-price-container\" data-type=\"buySimilar\"><span class=\"hawk-display-price-price\">No price information<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Check Amazon<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-footer-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-footer-description\">We check over 250 million products every day for the best prices<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-powered-by-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-powered-by-inner-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-powered-by-powered-by-container\">powered by <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/search-api.fie.futurecdn.net\/img\/sites\/svg\/cyclingnews.svg\" alt=\"Cyclingnews\" title=\"Cyclingnews\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-site-logo-powered-by\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"60\" height=\"30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/cycling-kit-accessories\/magicshine-monteer-12000-review\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/KhWPL8ZsY4aEygyDMrCuPC-1600-80.jpg&#8221;] Cyclingnews Verdict Although the Magicshine Monteer 12000 has a night-shattering output, it doesn\u2019t quite measure up when you compare it to a light like the Exposure MaXx-D with only half the lumens \u2013 it\u2019s not twice as bright, and the light not as crisp.
