<\/a>While it’s not so uncommon to find a little light that sandwiches in between your GPS and your out-front mount these days, it was in fact Fabric who pioneered this simple, tidy concept with the original Lumaray back in 2018<\/a>. This new 3rd-generation Lumaray essentially keeps that same form factor and installation idea, but modernizes it with a much more capable light, more customization and compatibility, plus a new electronic bell, too.<\/p>\n We love a little gadget to play with, so I loaded up my best motivational Ludacris clip to get folks to ‘move… get out the way<\/em>‘ on the bike paths. It took me a few minutes to de-sample the clip I wanted to play to meet the Lumaray’s max file size. It only has very limited internal memory, so there was a lot of lossy compression involved. But it was fun, and now I get to listen to 60+ seconds of motivation. <\/p>\n The only real downside to my choice of tunes is once I start my music clip, it can’t be stopped, so I have to wait until Mystikal chimes in. Also, the stock electronic bell chime was clearly a louder, more alerting sound. So, changing it to a music clip is clearly less functional. <\/p>\n Oh well, if I change it, it will likely only be to pick a different (less offensive?)<\/em> music clip that I want to get stuck in my head. <\/p>\n As for the light, I really like the animated light modes, which seem to attract attention, improving visibility. There are a lot of control options with just 2 buttons, so you are going to have to keep the manual handy until you get used to all the press & hold combinations. But it is easy to work in the end.<\/p>\n As for mounting, the sandwich setup is convenient, but it does make your GPS sit about 25mm\/1″ higher than before. Goodbye aero gains. <\/p>\n It works best on low-mounted GPS mounts. Anything even with the top of your bar will make this feel like a towering stack on your cockpit. But its beauty is in its mounting flexibility.<\/p>\n I do especially like the matching Fabric Lumaray Dock out-front mount, though. It (like some stock Garmin mounts?<\/em>) includes a Garmin-style set of tabs (not rotatable for Wahoo orientation<\/em>) on its lower side, which allows you to mount the Lumaray underneath, or even a GoPro with its included adapter. Overkill for most use (and users), it is nice to have more options.<\/p>\n All in all, the new Lumaray v3 is a solid update to the original that makes for an easy front light add-on with cool lighting effects, and some neat new features like the customizable bell and powerbank function.<\/p>\n Fabric’s newly revamped Lumaray v3 officially went on sale a couple of weeks back, so it is available now globally. Keeping pricing simple, Fabric sells the new light for $75 \/ \u00a375 \/ \u20ac75, including mounts for Garmin & Wahoo style mounting compatibility. That’s about 2x as expensive as the less sophisticated earlier evolutions, but this one does pack in a lot more functionality.<\/p>\n Their own out-front mount called the Lumaray Dock sells for $\/\u20ac\/\u00a320, which can mount the Lumaray v3 top or bottom, or combine with a GoPro-style attachment to mount other accessories.<\/p>\n Of note, we’re told that “the Lumaray V3 is just the beginning<\/em>“, as Fabric is set for a return this year, “with more new products launching later in 2026 set to build on Fabric’s reputation as one of the cycling industry’s innovators<\/em>“. We’re curious to see what else they have up their sleeves. I really did like their soft, squeezable bottle and always thought color-coding the tool bits<\/a>, even on their mini multi-tool, was a nice touch.<\/p>\n Fabric.cc<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Fabric Lumaray v3 Light is Back, In Between Your GPS & Mount, Playing Tunes: First Rides<\/a> appeared first on Bikerumor<\/a>.<\/p>\nTech details<\/h3>\n
