Volume™ 1500

Very practical lamp with intensity control via the selector rather than a button, I love it!
What's more, on long runs it's difficult to recharge the lights, so the fact that you can change the battery directly is really great - almost no other brand offers this and it's a real bonus!
The brackets supplied are practical and high quality!
Thank you for this great product!

Pretty cool and practical. Volume knob is definitely super practical compared to traditional button for changing the brightness level. GoPro mount seems sturdy enough, bought this light specifically for use with integrated handlebar which only has upside down GoPro mount capability. Light temperature is a bit too white for my taste, could be a bit warmer.
Beam pattern not bad, although a bit too wide at first look, but lights the trail decently.
Light body itself is a bit bulky compared to Fenix BC26R for instance which uses the same battery and 50g heavier, I guess the extra material to make it thicker and square is the cool design trade-off.

The Volume 1500 works well in situations requiring warm winter gloves, whether for road, gravel or MTB, because it is so easy to control the brightness. Important, because to maximise battery life, it is best to switch to lower lumen levels when possible. On a full charge I could just about ride all night. I find the full 1500 lumen brightness is seldom necessary unless road cycling at speed. The 750 lumens setting is my go-to level of brightness and the stated 5 hours is about right.
I compared the light with a range of other bike lights and it beat the competiton at the 350 lumens setting. At this level I found I was still able to ride gravel and mtb in pitch black on narrow single tracks.
In terms of feel, build quality, and packaging, in my experience it does not get any better.
Mounting: On my MTB with a thick bar (30mm diameter) it fitted easily and quickly. Fixing the mount to my gravel bike handlebars did take me more than 10 minutes. Once mounted I liked the way you could move the light horizontally a few degrees from centre - R or L.
Battery charging: The light arrived at my house with two bars of battery life illuminated. So, I decided to run the battery right down and then I did a full battery charge, taking just over nine hours. What I didn't like is the fact that the battery will suddenly die at a particular setting when out of juice. I have to check the 4 battery charge levels and as soon as they get to only two I turn the light down a notch.

Always fiddling with getting the right number of presses in on my old light, I love the simplicity of the knob for intensity adjustment. The runtime is fantastic. Bookman's handlebar Garmin-style mount is a beautifully simple design, a lot like the Magicshine but with an obvious improvement in attachment to improve strength and durability.

Only reason this light didn't get 5 stars from me is that it really wants a shroud extending slightly forward past the top of the lens, to keep the glare the lens from interfering with your night vision as you sit behind it. At the highest settings, there really is a lot of glare. I fashioned a shroud myself; it sounds like others such as The Radavist's reviewer have done the same.

Overall, however, a great product.

Not tested to its fullest as yet as I haven’t ridden in the dark.
Have been using on flash mode for a few hours whilst riding and the battery is still full!

I’ll be testing to capacity later in the year with a 14 hour ride.

Really solid construction
