Clean, Straightforward Light

By Eric Miller March 18, 2009

This light is clean, simple, and straightforward. Hard to beat for the price. I bought this light as a second rear light for the dark winter months when motorists aren't use to seeing bikes on the road.

PROs - Like everyone else has said, this light is bright. The inside reflector really helps throw the light. In addition to the three main LEDs, there two very small lights on each side of the light giving additional visibility to the sides. Battery life is long (still running strong after daily use on my commute). The light is durable, I dropped it a few times without the case shattering or the lights breaking.

CONs - Single, non-flashing mode. Sure some say that flashing lights might not increase visibility, but I like to have the option. The other con is the light comes with a 'clip' so you can slide it onto a pack strap, pants pocket, etc (that part is a pro). The con is the clip is part of the rear half of the case (read: permanently attached to the case of the light - see the third detail product view to see this). It is also the connector to the seatpost clamp. If the clip breaks the light can't attach to the clamp and you're left with a rear light that can't attach to anything. This happened to me, I tried gluing it back together but it kept breaking. The light does come with a lifetime warranty, but then you're without a light while you send it back.

Overall, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. I'd recommend this light to anyone looking for a solid, durable, bright rear light.
