NEW PRODUCTS: Hope’s Vision District 3 and MTB Skills Manual

Vision District 3 rear light

Hope has further progressed its lighting range with the introduction of the District 3 rear safety light.

At 84 lumens on high, the wide beam covers 270 degrees of visibility ensuring the cyclist is seen from both the rear and sides. Three red CREE XR-LEDs emit light on five settings, from steady to flashing and various power outputs, meaning burn time can be as long as 104 hours per three hour charge. As with all other Hope products, the District 3 is CNC machined in Barnoldswick and designed to shed the heat generated. The neat QR bayonet fixing securely attaches the lamp to the mount.
