Hope Vision 2 light

Posts: 2
just invested in the new Hope Vision 2 (Endurance) which really are the mutts nuts & not bad value from Wynstanley at £192 with the 2 batteries.
But why is it that every website you look on shows pictures of the old all black version & give the performance as only 300 lumens :x - even the Hope (less) website is out of date - their marketing dept needs a kick up the arse!!
I nearly didn't buy em cos I thought they were only 300 lumens but very glad I did.
NB: you don't get a stem mount either with the new model which a lot of websites are still showing
If anybody wants more info I can email the instruction manual

My 300 version was easily good enough for a dusk till dawn race mounted on my head with no other light to boost coverageScott Scale Custom

Ive recently got the vision 4's and have to say am mega impressed so far, excellent brightness and very user friendy design, and great battery life too.0

Thanks for clearing that up - got a Hope leaflet (correct picture and output levels) which is completely contradicted by the Hope web-site. Was a bit confused dot com
Thinking of a set of Hope 2s -will get from a local LBS - bit pricier but at least I'll know I'm getting the correct ones0 -

Hope vison 2's are powerfull, but the beam doesen't seam to penetrate much into the difference, and if you angle it further forward you loose a lot of light that you need close up, and also the battery only last 2 hours on full? I looked at the Hope 4 which will last around 3-4hours on the same output as the Hope Vision 2, so for another £100, you are getting a better battery life + a lot more power when you need it most.0
