The item I received does not look like the one on the picture, but it is a good item anyway so no complaints there. It works nicely and the vendor was very nice.

i bought this light mainly for a friend, and i’m not sure if it’s my fault for lack of reading…but i expected something different. Mainly it had to do with the battery. I thought it would hold a regular size battery but it doesn’t. So now i hope the battery has a decent life span as i don’t even know where to find it, seems like it requires special ordering via the internet

the light is as described: small, bright, easy to attach. i’ve encountered some lights with poor design features – such as trying to adjust setting while you’re riding and the light just flies off into the road. this light, however, is very well designed. long battery life, easily adjustable, and illuminates well. i recommend it.

Kinda stupid to write a review after only having it for a month, but so far so good – haven’t been hit by a car yet.

I agree with previous reviewers that this light doesn’t mount securely. I was riding my bike around 15mph when I hit a bump and it fell off and got smashed. The light actually fell off several times before that even during slow city riding.

Any time of night riding outside of well lit city streets is not possible, and even in city streets the light source is relatively dim so you’ll be overshadowed by all the surrounding light. There are some much better lights for just a tad extra $.
