Recently JetLites teamed up with pro snowboarder Bryan Iguchi and Red Bull Photofiles Photographer Christian Pondella for some sweet night pow. The location was Cherry Bowl at the legendary BaldFace Lodge in Nelson, B.C. The two were at the lodge for Red Bull Supernatural and after the contest we were able to tease them out for a few night runs. Bryan was outfitted with a JetLites F-LITE Series F-1. Contour was also on hand testing our compatibility with night video and we should have that footage for you soon. Meanwhile Christian is headed to the Wrangell Mountains in AK with two F-1's in hand, can't wait to see those shots!

JetLites first entry into the cordless market is cleared for takeoff. The first light in the new F-LITE Series is now available in limited quantities. The F-1 is a spot that throws out 750 Lumens and weighs in at 170 grams. There are three settings, High/Med/Emergency Low, with 1 hour 40 minutes run time on high. The cordless F-1 is powered by the newest Panasonic Lithium Ion cells, boasting 3.1 Ah. The battery is easily removed in the field and gives the rider the option of carrying a second battery to extend runtimes. The charger is built to accommodate two batteries and includes a 12v DC car adapter. The F-LITE Series: F-1 is designed to fit all current mounting systems from JetLites and other mounting systems such as picatinny rail mounts will be available in the future. A complete system comes with F-1, one Panasonic cell, helmet mount, car adapter, and dual battery charger.

JetLites is the only light company recognized by the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute for the breakaway safety system and is working with ASTM to continue to develop helmet safety standards. Mount includes base plate and breakaway attachment with 110 degree aiming paddle.
