Magicshine HORI 1300 review: a compact, well-built front light with a strong beam

The reviewer tested the Magicshine HORI 1300 Dual Mounted Bike Light as part of a group test. They found it to be a compact, well-built front light with a strong beam, offering a premium feel and good performance. The beam quality was slightly worse than the Ravemen 1100 but still sufficient for illuminating the road. The reviewer noted that the light has a Garmin-style interface on one face and GoPro tabs on the other, but no mount is included. They highlighted the bar-mounted remote as a neat touch and appreciated the dual-mounting options. However, they mentioned two caveats: the light is not designed to support a bike computer, and the runtime at full output is only two hours. Overall, they considered it a strong choice for fast rides on unlit roads, but not ideal for off-road due to hard cut-offs at the beam edges.
