No, it’s not quite that 12,000 lumen showstopper from Cygolite. But you can actually mount this up to your bike without a liquid cooling system.

Lupine’s updated Betty handlebar light did have to rework a few things to pump 1,000 extra lumens out of the LED bulbs though. Yes, you read that right, it’s a full one thousand lumens brighter than before, blazing the trail ahead with 3,600 lumens. Shown next to it is the 4-bulb Wilma, which jumps to 2,400 lumens (up from 1,500).

With the jump in light, the Betty’s Power Control Board had to be revised from a composite to copper because with all that additional output (aka: heat), it was melting things inside. To power all that glow, they have a new 17.5 amp/hour water bottle sized battery pack.

The Betty also now comes with a tiny wireless remote and has a new side mounting attachment point like the Piko, which makes the system a bit lower profile on the bike.
