What do you guys say about heat in this one?
Can it run for a long time without getting overheated/damaged?
For me I would use it on my Quad-bike when plowing snow so typically the outdoor temperature would be –5 to –20 Celcius. I assume that would help……?
Maybe batterytime at those temperatures drastically are reduced?
And one more….does not seem to come with any attachment accesories. Not for bikes and not for head……
I can see your point on this. I was thinking that because we’re a flashlight community, more lumens is hardly a bad thing. I meant it like how in the muscle car community, there’s hardly a thing as too much power, especially as applied to every single person. Yes, some people realize that they will never use all that horsepower or light, but I bet there’s a few people in their respective enthusiast community that can use it or will gleefully try to use all of it. As you said at the end of our complete post though, that can cause some trouble. I’m a lumenaholic, I’ll take super high lumen modes, even if I should never need them. Like how I would love a 600 lumen backpacking headlight that weighs less than my 220 lumen headlight. I might never need the extra lumens, but it’s there if the need arises. I also like long battery life too, so I always try to use the lowest mode possible. If we were riding together, I doubt you’d find my headlight output offensive.
That’s what I was thinking, I’ve got the Gemini Titan bike light with the same sort of battery pack and headstrap.
The looks good 
I wonder what type of battery pack it uses?
This isn’t necessarily the same kind of thing as the King. Looks like just another 3*xml bike light with a skyray logo.
joa, heat is typically not an issue with a bike light with the air flow cooling it down (as long as you keep moving). Ambient air temperature is also a factor for high powered lights, so sometimes at slow speeds (like climbing on a mountain bike) you need to step down to low or medium. It will be interesting to see if this light has heat issues on highest setting though.
I'm with you on mounting accessories - I'm going to send Ric a note to see what's up with that. I wouldn't buy it without knowing and the pictures are very vague. I'll also ask about the cell capacities.
Yeah, seems to have a bracket on the base of the light, but no mention of anything to fix it to the bike.
kreisler, I have been following bike lighting for years and personally would never recommend a Magicshine if there is an alternative available. At one point, the MS revolutionized bike lighting by offering an incredibly cheap bright alternative at literally a fraction of the cost of existing lights. The MS turned the industry on it's head and forced the established companies to really compete. But it is one of the most inconsistent (quality wise) and most copied bike lights in existence. If you want, I'll be glad to post multiple links to issues with this light, including broken wires, electronics snafus and wide scale cases of battery failure. The latter even resulted in a recall in the U.S. No reason to buy this brand now with many other low priced and better quality options. Just my opinion...
Are you sure that we're talking about the same model, their latest product the new flagship model MJ-880? I know that in earlier times Magicshine had a recall on a best-selling product. But this is the new model, MJ-880. Everybody in the bike world knows it and so many love it.
You're right, sites like DX have tons of cheap alternatives. I wouldnt mind buying the cheap DX lights :)
Where’s a good place to buy the MJ-880? Its expensive on ebay, but looks good.
cypm ;)
I already emailed customer service and just PM’d Ric asking for information on the Driver, perfomance, batteries and acessories. I’m not expecting much from the battery pack, it looks like a standard clone light pack that needs some DIY to make it waterproof. If it’s the King modified for cycling then that would be awesome.
The King has very low PWM .. but we wouldnt ride the bike on LO mode anyway ;)
Pfft. What are we flashaholics or sumthing??? 
Nice design, bit pricey for a bike light IMO.
But thats just me :D!
These battery packs are total crap, made of used laptop cells with total capacity of a single panasonic.
Just because fake goods exists doesn’t mean all goods are fake.
If anything, folks buying at “too good to be true” prices shouldn’d be surprised when they get what they paid for.
This looks like a sweet setup. I've little use for that much power but at this price I cannot help but be interested.
If Rick offers it with a NW emitter setup for +5 or something in that range it would be seriously awesome though. I am also wondering about how the battery pack is constructed. 4S or 2S2P or 4P maybe? I don't know what the norm is but since they never offered the King with more than 2 modes this has me thinking that it is not the same driver inside at all. I don't know how many posts I've seen with people asking for more modes on the King so the logical conclusion is that they would have offered it a long time ago if it was just a matter of reflashing the driver software chip to achieve that.
I hope for some positive feedback on this product though. And maybe acessories to shoulder mount it 
They should build a bikelight with high beam / low beam like H4 car lights.
That way it is possible to get a lot of light on the ground without blinding other traffic.
With a simple round reflector all led bikelights are blinding, even low-power led lights are a problem for oncoming traffic if they are shining directly into the eyes of other road-users.
