Tesla is the new baby Lupine that packs a real punch. Despite having only 1 LED, Tesla has an incredible output of 700 lumens thanks to Lupine’s new Hexagon reflector. This specially designed reflector has made it possible to tune the beam pattern to provide an excellent light output which is ideal for a range of uses from road riding to singletrack. At only 320 grams, Tesla also makes a great helmet light (helmet mount not included).
