Description
Replacement optics for your Gloworm lighthead
Gloworm G1.0
The X2 and XS use the same single cone optics, whilst the CX and Alpha share the same double optics
The G1.0 XSV uses the same optics as the G2.0 XSV
Gloworm G2.0
The X2 and XS use the same single cone optics
The XSV uses the same optics as the G1.0 XSV.
available options to choose from:
- Spot/Spot, Wide/Wide or Spot/Wide for the CX/Alpha
- Spot, Wide or Flood for the G1.0 X2/XS
- Spot, Wide or Honeycomb for the G2.0 X2, G2.0 XS and G1.0/G2.0 XSV

specs
SPOT (96% Efficient/FWHM 17 degrees)
the spot optic provides the narrowest beam. It is also the most efficient, allowing the greatest light output
it can be used in conjunction with another spot optic to gain the greatest possible output and therefore beam distance
this configuration is best used on the helmet to see down the trail or to spot the exit of a turn
alternatively the spot could be paired with another optic type from an alternative light pattern
FLOOD (84% Efficient/FWHM 25 degrees)
for a smooth diffused light pattern the Flood optic is the best option
it takes the light and smooths it across the width of the beam, making it slightly easier on the eye and creating even light from left to right
a pair of Flood optics would provide a wall of smooth light, however in doing so a significant amount of light intensity would be lost compared to a pair of spot optics
the flood is best used in tandem with a spot or wide optic
WIDE (87% Efficient/FWHM 40 degrees)
this optic provides a wide rectangular beam, it utilizes the light output to provide more peripheral light and less light in the vertical axis
while not as optically efficient as the Spot Optic, it provides very good output for a wide-angle optic
two wide optics can be paired as a great option for use on the road, however when paired with either a flood or spot optic an effective hybrid beam can be created
HONEYCOMB (87% Efficient/FWHM 30 degrees)
Designed for use with the XSV, the Honeycomb Optic is used to gain a smooth diffused light pattern when used with 2 spot optics or other honeycomb optics
it takes the light and smooths it across the width of the beam, making it slightly easier on the eye and creating a more even transition from the bright beam center
