First ride- Gemini Titan

I really liked this light. The beam pattern was wide and filled the trail with light.,I went with the light on the bars. We compared the Gemini Titan to the Magicshine and found that the Titan was brighter, not sure if this is the case with all there lights but mine was brighter.
Four out of the five riders tonight were running Magicshine lights and we compared my light to there's.

The only thing I'm not thrilled with was the battery strap. It worked but seemed light it would slide around on the bike( It didn't) I hope they re-design. Besides that the light worked great.
We rode for about two hours tonight and I could have been more happy with the light.
I plan on posting pictures soon and a short video....
