Eva-lution

The old classic 15 watt halogen light has evolved into an LED powered monster! The Eva-lution, named for its precision EVA® lens, is a compact yet extremely powerful package designed to be a great all-around light. For most trail riding conditions a single Eva-lution is powerful enough, period!

Product Highlights

Excellent illumination: 750 True Lumens (equivalent to HID), 960 Maximum, in an ultra white LED light output for outstanding night visibility. Read why here >>
Excellent all-around feathered light beam that exhibits a tight central hotspot with just enough long distance throw for fast riding and a soft side spill for balanced peripheral visibility. There is no distracting hard cutoff "dark ring" that is typical in most lights.
Long battery life: 3 hours at full power. Measured >>
Small & lightweight: Weight optimized kit parts with lightweight Li-Ion power pack that all together weigh in at 396 Grams.
Straightforward assembly: Includes a fully illustrated and comprehensive step-by-step build guide which features clear and detailed explanations and assembly tips. Sample pages >>
Cheap & easy to replace battery cells: ALL batteries wear out, so why pay that HUGE price for a new battery pack; user replaceable cells are the way for you to save big money down the road. More info >>
Upgradeable LED: LED technology advances fast! With an LED upgrade you can expect to get even brighter and longer run times next year for fraction of the kit price. More info >>
Low price, high quality & performance: You will be hard pressed to find a product that beats us. Product comarison >>

X-5

The X-5 double lens light takes our Eva-lution to the next level. It features an additional highly focused LED, bringing the total to 5 high-power Cree X-Lamp® LEDs. This extra LED and lens provides additional long range illumination. Designed to be a helmet mounted light, you can also expect to blind pilots of an overflying jumbo jet. If you ride fast technical trails, or just plain want to see everything before you reach it, the X-5 is definitely for you!

18650 Li-Ion Cell Holders

Perhaps you need a replacement battery pack for your older aging light, desire the value and flexibility of user replaceable cells, or maybe just plain need a Li-Ion holder for a non-lighting application. Whatever your case, we offer high quality 18650 Li-Ion cell holders in kit form to help you out; we are the only to do so in such a wide array of options.

Product Highlights

Allows you to affordably and easily replace individual Li-Ion cells instead of that entire expensive battery pack. More about how this works >>
Available in the most commonly used high power lighting configurations ...or wire two together and go even bigger! (Ex: 2 back to back 6X packs = 12 cells)
User configurable wiring, 100% flexible design. Series (voltage additive), Parallel (current additive), or a mixture of both, you choose! More about wiring >>
Designed to work with an array of commonly available high power 18650 Li-Ion cells, both protected & unprotected.
Holders fit inside most commonly available digital camera bags, making storage and use easy.
Make them any color you want! Learn more here >>

Kit Details

Included are all the parts needed to assemble one fully functional 18650 Li-Ion cell holder: Battery clips, velcro cinch strap, wire harness tie and polarity stickers.
To assemble you will need your own flux, solder, soldering iron, connecting wire, and common hand tools. More about tools >>

We offer the following configurations:

2X, 3X, 4X & 6X Flatpack holders

4X & 6X Compact holders

Note: 1 cell can be removed to create a 3X or 5X holder

Flatpack holders (side by side cells w/ flat back) are a low height option which fit nicely into a backpack pocket, a shirt or pant pocket, or can be attached to any flat surface.

Compact holders (cells are back to back) fit well into digital camera bags, a hydration pack pocket, or inside a bicycle hydration cage (each will also fit inside a standard sized water bottle).

* Please Note: Pictured Li-Ion cells and the battery harness / lead wire that connects to your specific light are not included.

Li-Ion Cells & Chargers

Our kits use protected 18650 Li-Ion cells. We prefer these cells as opposed to unprotected cells because they are safer to charge and use.

Replacement Cells or Charger >>

Bar and Helmet Mounts

We use Cateye® brand mounts for our lights. They have proven to be high quality, lightweight, and very durable. For replacements or to add a second mounting style to your kit, please click below.

LED Upgrades

We are teamed with the worlds leading LED innovator and manufacturer, CREE International. Cree designs and manufactures the worlds brightest and highest performance LED's. It costs us more to use the best components in our lights, but we think you will SEE the difference.

Currently our lights use the top of the line, highest available brightness Ultra White LEDs. There are no upgrades available at this time. We'll let you know when technology advances!
