    Levo Gen 2 Worldwide warranty extension on all 2019/2020 Levo and 2020 Kenevo

    I have had my 2020 Levo Comp for about a year now. The only issue I have is the power sometimes doesn't come on and I get a red light. I think maybe it thinks the charge port is open. Is this a common issue? What is the warranty on that? 1 year or more?

    Blevo friendly heart rate fitness tracker 'watch'

    Yes, my watch does that: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/01/garmin-adds-bluetooth-heart-rate-running-data-broadcasting-for-fr245-fr945.html Within Blevo it saw the watch name. I said connect. It said ok. But then Blevo said 114bpm and the watch said 76 - so it doesn't seem to be fully...

    Blevo friendly heart rate fitness tracker 'watch'

    Just to confirm in case anything changed. I have a Garmin Fenix 6X. Is there any way for Garmin to see the heart-rate for it? My goal being so that when it uploads to Strava, my heart rate is uploaded at the same time. I don't need HR control of the bike power. I could just have the watch...

    The $45 Turbo Levo Hardwired Headlight Thread

    They could easily be fake. Spreading the heat among two housings should help reliability. I just compared both to my MagicShine MJ-906, and the MagicShine was still a lot more output (that light is amazing). Both of these Chinese heads combined was about equal to the MagicShine on the second...

    The $45 Turbo Levo Hardwired Headlight Thread

    So do you think 22 watts is resulting in about 2200 lumens? As for these projects, I posted this in a few places and almost no one seems to care. I find that surprising as this is a huge deal to me to never have to worry about battery life on night rides.

    The $45 Turbo Levo Hardwired Headlight Thread

    I tested the wattage of my MagicShine MJ-906 and it was pulling 25 watts from a battery. It won't work with the Brose motor cable though. So I am pretty happy with the 22 watts I am getting with my other heads.

    The $45 Turbo Levo Hardwired Headlight Thread

    Yes, you can see the large power switch on the back of each light, as well as the three brightness settings. The enclosures are aluminum with heat sinks. If you are concerned you could open them and make sure there is thermal paste, but having two means if one dies, you have a backup. I am...

    The $45 Turbo Levo Hardwired Headlight Thread

    I tried *two* of these units at the same time using a Y-adaptor. It worked! Power draw was 1.95 amps at 11.5v, which is 22.4 watts. Fantastic! For some reason, these heads stay within safe limits without a startup surge that is making other light heads go over the limit.

    The $45 Turbo Levo Hardwired Headlight Thread

    Today I tried the light called: "Bright Eyes Fully Waterproof 1600 Lumen Rechargeable Mountain, Road Bike Headlight, 6400mAh Battery (Now 5+ Hours on Bright Beam). Comes w/Free Diffuser Lens and Free TAILLIGHT" It was slightly less bright than the light I selected, so not worth the additional...

    The $45 Turbo Levo Hardwired Headlight Thread

    I tested the battery that it came with by driving my Gemini Duo 1500 on low power. It was still going strong after 2.5 hours, and I wanted to go to bed so stopped testing it. But the battery is somehow not junk, so that makes me extra glad that I didn't cut the cable off it.

    I couldn't wait. 1.08amps 12.1v So 12-13 watts.

    The $45 Turbo Levo Hardwired Headlight Thread

    I just tested it with one of the light heads with three LEDs connected at the same time and both worked at once. So I ordered a second dual-LED one and will try both of those at once. So it will probably be, I am guessing, 1400 lumens. I can point one closer to the front wheel than the other...

    The $45 Turbo Levo Hardwired Headlight Thread

    The brightness was close to my Gemini Duo on the middle setting. That is 900, so I think this light is about 700 or 750. Just did a group trail ride for over 10 miles and two guys lights died. My Gemini was on max on my helmet and lasted, and of course the Turbo Levo light lasted.

    Has anyone hard wired a light into their Levo?

    The normal thing to do is just not go over their limit or talk Specialized into relaxing how often they throw that error code. I am just going to try a bunch of lights and go with the brightest one that works. Will know tomorrow.

    Has anyone hard wired a light into their Levo?

    The M99 mini seems to do 16-17 watts, and the rep is saying that sometimes doesn’t work. So I think that means things get iffy around 16 watts. Cant wait until my lights come tomorrow.

    Has anyone hard wired a light into their Levo?

    My sense is you won’t hurt anything by using it. It is possible the bike will kick out an error code in the future, in which case if that happens you can use something else later.
