Magicshine Allty 1500S Bike Front Headlight Review - feat. OLED Display + DRL + Removable Battery

Magicshine’s Allty series of headlights features everything from commuter headlights to multi-thousand lumen headlight options. The new Allty 1500S is one of the latest additions to the Allty lineup and upgrades the previous Allty 1500 with some exciting new features. With a retail price of $ the Allty 1500S offers 1500 lumen of output and a removable 5000mAh cartridge style battery. The headlight also features dual lighting elements with a DRL and a single focused LED for long distance visibility. One of the other big features of the Allty 1500S is the OLED screen which displays the battery status, estimated time remaining and the lumen output for the active mode. The headlight modes can also connect via Bluetooth to the Magicshine’s App for mode customization and a wireless remote. As with the other Magicshine Allty headlights, the 1500S uses a standard Garmin quarter turn style mount molded into the base of the housing. This allows the Allty 1500S to be used with a variety of third-party Garmin compatible mounts. Magicshine includes a simple plastic handlebar mount with a plastic strap, the same one that’s found on most of their headlights, that lets you mount the light onto your handlebar. It’s one of our least favorite designs as it uses a strap and bolt design that is a bit tedious to install or remove from a bike. With multiple straps included the mount can be used on aero bars, commuter bars or standard handlebars. As always, we’d recommend using an out-front mount instead like the Magicshine TTA or Topeak UTF mount. The Allty 1500S is also a non-directional headlight which means you can mount it upside down on the bottom slot of an out-front mount. The only downside of the upside-down mounting is that the button and OLED screen are out of view. The Magicshine Allty 1500S takes the previous Allty 1500 to the next level with multiple hardware and software upgrades. Visually, the light keeps the same rectangular design the Allty light series is known for with a metal housing. The light also features a dual lighting design with a horizontal DRL on the top and a powerful single LED below it. The lens is a simple non-directional design with a standard cone beam and a raised lens for improved side visibility. Due to the additional height of the DRL, the front portion of the light also protrudes below the main body of the headlight giving the Allty 1500S a unique appearance from the side... ...
