Moon METIS: 1,000 lumens, a bell and an alarm
The METIS is a 110 g front light, rated at a maximum of 1,000 lumens to the FL-1 standard. Moon fits it with two functions you would usually expect elsewhere on the handlebar: a bell triggered with a single touch, and an anti-theft alarm. The official product page claims a beam range of 150 m, up to 170 hours of run time and a 2 h 30 charge. The housing is water-resistant to the IPX6 rating.
ARGUS: a radar rear light
The ARGUS is a radar rear light, which Moon also presents with brake detection. It puts out a maximum of 150 lumens and weighs 57 g. Its 1,050 mAh battery gives it up to 31 hours of run time, for 3 hours of charging. It is water-resistant to the IPX7 rating.
Prices of the two lights
On Moon’s official shop, the METIS is listed at €87.95 and the ARGUS at €64.95.
