Exposure Joystick 18 | 1200 lm Headlight

The Exposure Joystick 18 is the most versatile and lightest bike light in Exposure's revamped 2026 collection. It's designed for the rider who wants one light for as many uses as possible without being limited by size or weight. The Joystick 18 works equally well on a helmet, handlebar, as a backup light on longer rides, or as a light to carry in your pocket.

The light produces a measured 1200 lumens at a weight of just 105 grams. Its compact size makes it unnoticeable, but the light output is more than enough for off-road riding, gravel, commuting and on the road in the dark. The beam is clear and controlled and works well both as a helmet light and as a supplemental light on the handlebars.

The Joystick 18 is designed and manufactured in the UK from CNC machined 6063 aluminium. The construction is extremely durable and the Intelligent Thermal Management system ensures that the LED elements operate efficiently without overheating. The light output remains consistent and the runtime is predictable even over longer periods.

The usability of the light is based on Tap Technology , which allows you to change the light mode with a light touch from anywhere on the lamp body. This makes adjustment quick and easy while riding. The Optimised Mode Selector offers several ready-made programs that can be used to adapt the operating time and light output to the nature of the ride.

The internal 4000 mAh Li-Ion battery provides 1.5-36 hours of use depending on the selected program. USB-C Power Delivery fast charging allows for fast charging and charging also with power bank during the ride, making the Joystick a great choice for travel, bikepacking and as a backup light.

The Joystick 18 meets IP67 waterproof and IK09 impact resistance requirements. The light comes with a helmet and handlebar mount, allowing you to choose the mount that suits your needs. A USB-C charging cable and charger are included.

The package includes the Exposure Joystick 18 light, helmet mount, Quick Release handlebar mount, wrist strap, USB-C charging cable and charger. The light has a two-year warranty and the manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty on the LED elements.
