Magicshine Allty 2500S LED Bike Headlight Review - feat. OLED Display Screen + DRL + Garmin Mount

Magicshine’s previous Allty 2000 headlight was one of our favorite bike lights as it had a multi-element light design along with an OLED screen to display battery information. After listening to customer feedback, Magicshine has updated the light and introduced the new Allty 2500S. With a retail price of $, the updated Allty 2500S offers a brighter 2500 lumen output, a wireless remote and USB-C charging. The Allty 2500S retains the unique multi-element lens with two LEDs and a DRL strip to handle nearly any type of riding. Magicshine has also simplified the number of modes and added their wireless remote to easily control the light. The Magicshine Allty 2500S uses a standard quarter-turn style Garmin mount that is molded into the body of the headlight. Magicshine includes their standard strap style handlebar mount that is shared across their lineup. It’s a simple mount that uses a plastic base combined with a strap that bolts onto the base and hooks into the front of the mount. We aren’t fans of the design as it requires a tool to install and can be frustrating as you have to align the strap with a slot. However, Magicshine does include multiple strap lengths to accommodate different handlebar shapes which means this can even work with aero bars. As always, we’d recommend using an out-front mount instead like the Magicshine TTA or theTopeak UTF for a cleaner installation. Visually, the Magicshine Allty 2500S is nearly identical to the previous Magicshine Allty 2000 we reviewed a few years ago. The headlight retains its unusual L-shape with extended lens design and metal housing. It’s a fairly compact headlight with a rounded rectangle profile that conceals the battery. The OLED screen is mounted on the top of the light with a single button interface below it. Branding is limited to Magicshine and Allty 2500S printed on the top surface Magicshine has used a three element lens design that combines two LEDs with a DRL strip along the top. One of the LEDs is a spot light with 18 degree spread while the other LED has diffusers to spread the light to 25 degrees and act more as a flood light. What makes this light unique is the top mounted DRL which combines multiple COB LED strips to provide additional illumination and ensure you’re visible during the day or night ...
