NiteRider TriNewt Beam Shots

NiteRider TriNewt Wireless: High

Having acquired a NiteRider TriNewt Wireless headlight for biking I wanted to compare it to my other lights, so I put together a small setup in the garage to see how they all compare.

In short, none of the other lights I have compare to the TriNewt.

These test shots were taken in my garage with both the light being tested and camera set up on my workbench 30 feet from the garage door. A Robin Myers Digital Imaging Gray Card (buy them here) was propped up along the base of the door for use as a color reference, if needed. All comparison photos were taken with a Canon EOS 20D and a Canon 24-70 f/2.8L lens at 24mm, ISO 100, f/11, six (6) second exposure, with the white balance native (aka “As Shot”). This exposure was based on an automatic test exposure of the target using the NiteRider TriNewt on high and chosen to set an upper limit of brightness.

Here’s the items and their results:

NiteRider TriNewt Wireless: High · Low
Planet Bike Blaze: Single Setting (On)
2D Cell Mag Lite w/ OEM 3W LED Upgrade: Single Setting (Focused As Narrow As Possible)
Planet Bike Superflash: Steady Mode
Reference Overhead Lighting: Two 300W Incandescent Bulbs

It’s pretty obvious that the TriNewt on either Low or High blows everything else I’ve had away. I can’t wait to try this out in the woods.
