The reviewer tests the Magicshine HORI 1300 Dual Mount bike light, highlighting its compact design with integrated battery, wireless remote control, dual-beam system (low beam and high beam), and app-programmable light modes. They note it lacks German STVZO approval but has a sharp upward cutoff to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. The reviewer provides detailed measurements of brightness (lux and lumen) and battery runtime, noting that brightness decreases significantly over time. They compare its beam pattern and high beam characteristics favorably for off-road use versus the EVO 1700 for road use.
