<strong>BBB</strong> <strong>Cycling</strong> is a specialist concerning lights. We develop the best lights for every<br />
ride and the multiple awards we received in the field of design and functionality<br />
prove we’re doing it right.<br />
As we are cyclists ourselves we know what you need from a proper light. Whether<br />
you’re a daily commuter or an adventurous mountainbiker who discovers new<br />
trails at night, we have the right light for you.<br />
In a world where more and more people are cycling, we not only need a light<br />
to see, but it has to guarantee our safety as well. Therefore we developed the<br />
all new Spy lights. With the latest technology this light sets new standards in<br />
functionality and ensures safety due to a high visibility. It’s the ideal light for<br />
every urban biker. Not in the least because of its size. The Spy is so small, you can<br />
easily put it in every bag, purse or backpack you use on your daily commute or city<br />
ride. Besides the demand of more safety, there’s also the need for high visibility<br />
at the front.<br />
With the Scope and Sniper lights we already provided lights with beams that<br />
made cloudy nights turn into sunny daylight. The brightness and power of the<br />
1500 lumen version of the Scope got worldwide attention in its introduction year<br />
and instantly got rewarded with a MBR award. The most popular light among<br />
road bikers, the Strike, got a boost as well. With 760 lumen this member of the<br />
family will brighten the ride of every racer. The CenterBracket still offers more<br />
options than ever to install your lights on your handlebar while the HelmetMount<br />
is still your best option to put a Scope or Strike on your helmet. Our lights will<br />
never let you down in the dark.<br />

LIGHTS GUIDE
Why is one light better than the other? It’s a<br />
frequently asked question and not so simple<br />
to answer. But it’s definitely important to<br />
know more about the technique behind lights,<br />
to understand which light suits your needs the<br />
best. Behind every light in our collection is<br />
a long process of development which we like<br />
to explain to you, to make the best possible<br />
decision when buying one of our lights.<br />
LIGHTS EXPLAINED<br />
Sebastiaan Bowier “<strong>Light</strong>s and electronics look so simple, but it has so much more to offer.”<br />
4
LUX AND LUMEN<br />
One of the most heard arguments<br />
when buying a new light is: “I want<br />
the most lumen possible.” But what<br />
does the amount of lumen actually say<br />
about the power or the usability of a<br />
light? Because, every manufacturer<br />
can produce a light with an enormous<br />
amount of lumen. What makes<br />
the difference?<br />
First we have to explain the difference<br />
between two concepts: lux and lumen.<br />
Lux is the amount of light on a certain<br />
area. Most commonly, it is measured<br />
on a distance of 1 or 10 meters. When<br />
the amount of lux is measured, a brand<br />
wants the highest level and with a<br />
round bundle, that’s in the middle.<br />
Lumen is the total amount of light (in<br />
all directions) emitted by that lamp.<br />
This can be produced by the LED or the<br />
lamp itself. The level of lumen from the<br />
lamp itself is lower, because the light<br />
has passed the lens, resulting in loss<br />
of light. This is the most honest value,<br />
because this is the amount of light you<br />
really see in front of your bike.<br />
The light always has to pass the lens,<br />
obviously.<br />
That’s why <strong>BBB</strong> always measures the<br />
amount of lumen of the light and not<br />
of the LED alone. Because that’s not an<br />
honest value on itself.<br />
STRIKE 300<br />
BLS-71<br />
How does this look like in<br />
real development life?<br />
Let’s take a look at the Strike lights<br />
in our range. When we developed the<br />
Strike 300 and 500 we didn’t want to<br />
just boost the amount of lumen.<br />
We wanted to create two worthy lights<br />
on their own. Below you can see the<br />
differences between the Strike 300 and<br />
Strike 500.<br />
Both lights produce 28 lux on a distance<br />
of 10 meters. So they are evenly<br />
‘bright’.<br />
But the Strike 500 has 200 lumen more<br />
light compared to his little brother. The<br />
Strike 500 has a broader bundle as well,<br />
resulting in 200 lumen divided over a<br />
bigger bundle.<br />
Why didn’t we choose to use the same<br />
lens for both lights? That’s because<br />
the human eye adapts to light. When<br />
there’s a lot of light, the pupil becomes<br />
smaller. With less light, the pupil<br />
becomes bigger.<br />
With a narrow bundle that’s very bright,<br />
the pupil becomes smaller, resulting<br />
in everything outside of your bundle<br />
becoming ‘invisible’. Because it’s<br />
outside the reach of your small pupil.<br />
A logic question now would be to ask if<br />
every light than has to produce 28 lux<br />
on a distance of 10 meters. But that’s<br />
not the case.<br />
STRIKE 500<br />
BLS-72<br />
The keyword in developing lights<br />
is ‘balance’. As a designer of these<br />
products you constantly have to keep<br />
in mind that the light has to match the<br />
needs of each user.<br />
A helmet light has to create more of a<br />
hotspot, while a light on your handlebar<br />
has to have a wider bundle. And a<br />
light used on the road has to be about<br />
visibility. Each light has its own specific<br />
needs and goals.<br />
SHAPING THE BUNDLE<br />
There are three ways to shape the<br />
bundle of light. We can use the classic<br />
reflector, a lens and a modern reflector.<br />
Classic reflector<br />
With a classic reflector there’s not so<br />
much control over the light. Basically,<br />
the LED directly shines to the outside,<br />
only the light that shines to the sides<br />
is being affected by the mirror. This<br />
produces a lot of rings in the bundle<br />
and a bright hotspot, also called the<br />
‘center’. This type of reflection is<br />
only used in the low end range of the<br />
market.<br />
Lens<br />
The best way to create a round bundle<br />
is to use a lens. The main advantage<br />
of lenses is that all the light from a<br />
LED can be controlled. This creates a<br />
beautiful grading or an extremely bright<br />
hotspot.<br />
Modern reflector<br />
When using a modern reflector, the LED<br />
is horizontally placed, shining directly<br />
on the mirror.<br />
This way there’s maximum control over<br />
the bundle. Mainly lights which are<br />
StVZO approved has to be developed in<br />
this way, because of the complex bundle<br />
that has to be produced. The main<br />
disadvantage is the loss of a lot of light<br />
when using this type of reflector.<br />
The Swat BLS-105K has a bundle right<br />
in front of the wheel and one further<br />
in front of the rider. The bundle in<br />
the distance is broad and the amount<br />
of light is as equally divided over the<br />
bundle as possible.<br />
This way we created a functional<br />
bundle, but the amount of lumen and<br />
lux is not comparable with a round<br />
bundle.<br />

BATTERIES<br />
One last thing that’s very important<br />
is the strength, brightness and lifetime<br />
of a light is the type of battery being<br />
used. We use two types of batteries<br />
in our lights: lithium-ion polymer and<br />
cylindric lithium ion.<br />
Lithium-ion polymer<br />
Lithium batteries without a solid<br />
housing, but in a small aluminum<br />
bag. This makes them compact and<br />
lightweight. Easily produced in a certain<br />
size, without any standard sizes. Those<br />
type of batteries are being produced<br />
with a specific product in mind. Very<br />
vulnerable and have to be protected by<br />
the housing of the light itself. Braking<br />
or damaging the housing can lead to a<br />
short circuit in the battery.<br />
They get old less quickly, which means<br />
they can be recharged more often.<br />
There are batteries available with<br />
higher capacity claims, but those type<br />
of batteries are less stable, which can<br />
lead to all sorts of problems. Short<br />
battery lifetime, overload of circuit<br />
or short circuit are a few examples of<br />
those problems.<br />
CAPACITY MANAGEMENT<br />
A properly produced battery of a<br />
known brand in a good light has a good<br />
capacity management. Both light and<br />
battery that is. In the software of the<br />
lamp itself is programmed how the lamp<br />
handles its capacity and light output.<br />
Extreme examples are:<br />
a. As much light as possible results<br />
in a battery that empties fast<br />
b. Low light output means you can use<br />
the battery for a long time.<br />
It looks like the following:<br />
Some brands choose for maximum<br />
values: an enormous amount of light<br />
power in combination with a long life<br />
time. But that’s only possible when<br />
the light doesn’t produce a constant<br />
amount of lumen. The power drops<br />
fast during use. This is a renowned<br />
marketing trick. The packaging says<br />
2000 lumen, but in real life the output<br />
of 2000 lumen is only for a very short<br />
time.<br />
After that, the amount of lumen is far<br />
less than mentioned on the packaging,<br />
for example only 1000 or even 500<br />
lumen. This to maintain a bit of battery<br />
lifetime.<br />
At <strong>BBB</strong> we use a constant output.<br />
This results in a slightly lower starting<br />
point of lumen, but those amount of<br />
lumen are constant over the complete<br />
period of use. When the battery<br />
indicator turns on, the light switches<br />
to a ‘get-home-safe’ option, which is a<br />
lower light output to safe battery life.<br />
It depends on the purpose of the light<br />
whether we choose for a high power<br />
output and shorter battery life (MTB)<br />
or a maximum of battery life and<br />
slightly lower power output (Urban).<br />
LIGHTS EXPLAINED<br />
LIGHTS GUIDE<br />
Cylindric lithium ion<br />
Lithium batteries with a solid housing.<br />
We use the 18650 cell, which is also<br />
used in the famous Tesla Model S car.<br />
This size is standardized and can’t<br />
be produced in a certain size. The<br />
advantage is that those batteries are<br />
being produced on a lot of different<br />
quality levels. We only use the best<br />
brands available, Samsung and<br />
Panasonic.<br />
a.<br />
When you don’t want to use the ‘gethome-safe’<br />
option, you can switch one<br />
light mode down. The battery indicator<br />
turns off and you have a steady output<br />
again.<br />
Aside from which type of battery is<br />
being used, the battery lifetime is as<br />
equally important. Both Samsung and<br />
Panasonic are stable batteries. This<br />
means, the output is stable with a<br />
minimum of highs and lows.<br />

FEATURES LIGHTS<br />
Regulated lights emit over their entire<br />
burn time a constant amount of<br />
light due to an electronic regulation<br />
system. Is the battery (pack) empty,<br />
can’t the same amount of light be<br />
emitted anymore, than the light will<br />
automatically turn off. Because you<br />
don’t want to be surprised, these<br />
lamps feature<br />
a battery indicator.<br />
By non-regulated lights, the<br />
luminous intensity gradually<br />
decreases. During use, these<br />
lights will dim slowly.<br />
Uses a high quality, internal or<br />
external, lightweight Lithium ion<br />
battery.<br />
Uses the mentioned number of 1.5<br />
V “AAA” replaceable or rechargeable<br />
batteries.<br />
Batteries included.<br />
TECH SPECS<br />
The CREE LED’s are one of the<br />
world best light emitting diodes.<br />
CREE semiconductor delivers high<br />
quality, superior performance and<br />
uses the newest LED manufacturing<br />
technologies. These LED’s are<br />
extremely powerful, energy sufficient<br />
and last a long time.<br />
Quick and easy rechargeable by<br />
USB design.<br />
Due to internal reflectors the LED<br />
beam is focused in a predefined<br />
beam pattern. This beam pattern<br />
is optimized for the target use<br />
of the light. For example a<br />
wider beam for off road use or<br />
a flattened oncoming traffic<br />
friendly beam for road use.<br />
Intensive lights also produce a lot of<br />
heat. Therefore <strong>BBB</strong> high power lights<br />
are equipped with ACS (Airflow Cooling<br />
System ). Due to the special design of<br />
the aluminum casing parts of the light<br />
the air ow passing by while cycling is<br />
cooling down the light. This guarantees<br />
optimum heat control of the light. Using<br />
an ACS controlled light, without riding<br />
will damage the light.<br />
Easy mounting, angle adjustable<br />
silicone strap closed bracket. Fits on<br />
handlebars, seat posts and frame<br />
diameters between 22 till 32 mm.<br />
Helmet bracket for lighting in<br />
your line of sight at night trips.<br />
Easy mounting, angle adjustable<br />
bracket.<br />
Is closed and tightened by an Allen<br />
screw. Fits on both standard and<br />
oversized handlebar diameters due<br />
to it’s special design.<br />
Centerbracket for centrating a<br />
headlight at your handlebar.<br />
Fixed bracket with quick release<br />
system to remove the light.<br />
Bracket fits most seat post<br />
diameters.<br />
Remote control for switching<br />
light on/off and in various modes.<br />
Waterresistant.<br />
