Blaast LED adventure lighting 

Since July 2003 we have produced a LED light that would be bright enough for single track and technical sections, but enable run times to stay out all night. 
It had to be built tough, because we know that when you spill, we spill with you. This ruled out HID lamps. Broken glass and expensive lamp replacements are over!
The light needed maximum versatility, to allow super efficient battery use through dimming capability. LEDs offer the only choice here. 
The Blaast - with a range of configurations and control options, from simple on/off to advanced dimming control, and with intergrated or remote control modules. 
All LED lights feature high efficency switch mode electronics for consistant light levels & low heat. 

Read what they say here...

iBlaast II 
The iBlaast II has the control module intergrated to the light head.
Suits both bar & helmet mounting. 
The iBlaast II has full function dimming, admin mode, flasher modes, fuel gauge & battery protect, and you can set the low, medium, & high (700ma or 1000ma) output levels with this model for personalised operation .
First choice for MTB, road cyclists & commuters.  
Now outfitted with Cree R2 LEDs. The Kiwi is the switch. 
Made in New Zealand.


Operating instructions for the iBlaast II here.
New admin mode. Over temperature alarm now fitted. Comes after the fuel gauge. Set for 3-5 flashes (70, 80, or 90 deg).
