Thousand Heritage 2.0 Magnetic Helmet Taillight Review - feat. 40 Lumen + USB-C Charging + 5 LEDs

Описание: The updated Thousand Heritage 2.0 helmet not only improved the ventilation and venting but it also added a magnetic mount to the rear for an optional taillight. In this review, we’ll be looking at the new magnetic helmet taillight that is specifically designed for the Heritage 2.0 helmet. This is a magnetic design so it simply pops into place and is an optional extra that can be purchased with the Heritage 2.0 helmet or separately. The taillight retails for $25 and offers 40 lumen output. It seamlessly attaches to the rear of the Heritage 2.0 helmets using a magnetic mount. Thousand has also utilized a modern USB-C charging port and an IP54 rating. With its seamless mounting and 3 output modes, the helmet taillight is a simple way to add visibility.

Thousand has designed the magnetic helmet taillight to seamlessly integrate into the Heritage 2.0 helmets. The light itself has a modern rectangular profile with rounded corners and five surface mounted LEDs. For a sleek look, the taillight is curved to sit flush against the back of the Heritage 2.0 helmet. There is a single rubber power button on the bottom and the USB-C charging port on the backside. You’ll notice there are no mounting hooks on the taillight, instead the light is slightly curved with integrated magnets that snap onto the helmet. Unfortunately, Thousand has made this light only compatible with the Heritage 2.0 which means you can’t use it on the Chapter MIPS or use the Chapter’s magnetic light here. The magnetic mount on the helmets have been altered such that they won’t attach on the other helmets.

What’s unique about this taillight is that Thousand has taken the extra time to optimize the lens instead of the basic light design found on helmets like the Smith Dispatch. You can see the grooves cut into the inside of the lens to help focus the output of each beam. The center LED has a circular pattern while the rest of the light has a rounded rectangular design. When you turn on the taillight you can see the side LEDs have a unique angular illumination pattern. While the taillight isn’t as wide as some other helmets like the Unit 1 Faro the curved shape and raised design has excellent side visibility...
