| Pros:I use two of these lights mounted on my bike helmet add a sku25149 on my handle bars. This combonation gives better light and better cornering sight that some lights at $400.00 for less than half the price. | |
| Cons:The light does not come with helmet mounts. I solved this by using a broom hamdle held to the helmet with zip ties. Works great and it is awsome that you can focus the beams for the tight single track areas. | |
| Other Thoughts:This light is cheap. you do get what you pay for. I read the other reviews about the lights switching modes going off curbs etc...I guess I probably not seeing this because they are mounted on my helmet. I still can not believe haw great these are. | |
| Bottomline:Buy them - you will not be happy you did.Dave | |
Good light for the price |

| Pros:Ideal as a back up light cheap and light and it comes with a fairly sturdy mount. I use it on flood setting when cycling through unlit woodland paths, helps to illuminate overhanging branches and anything nasty ahead. | |
| Cons:When rotating to throw position the lens housing appears to become loose, it does not seem to affect the beam but is unnerving. On full throw the output is not that brilliant but on flood is fine.Sometimes when jumping kerbs or going over sharp bumps the light switches mode. | |
| Bottomline:Cannot beat it for the price, provides a good backup light, battery life seems fine. | |
Fine - with a caveat |

| Pros:3 modes [low, high, strobe]. Good build quality - tough without being hefty. All-metal body. Reasonably bright, and you can change the focus from flood to throw by rotating the head. Works with 3XAAA holder [included]; rechargeable LSD NiMH AAAs work well. Also works with rechargeable Li-ion 17500/18500 [I've used both]. 17500/18500 are brighter than AAA, but rattle around inside, even with rubber washers. The mount was tight and easy to use. All in all, fine quality. | |
| Cons:IMPORTANT PROBLEM: light would change between modes every time it was bumped or jarred in any way. On a bike, this includes going over a pot hole, random bumps in the road, gravel, going off a kerb, etc. Brightness was OK, but not great with 3XAAA. Much better with 18500, but then the rattling was worse, and the automatic mode-cycling gets worse. Loose contacts between AAA holder and rear of light. | |
| Other Thoughts:SOLUTION: 4 magnets [SKU 13518] placed on the negative end of the AAA holder made the contacts tight and solved the mode-cycling problem. I don't think I should have had to fix the light after buying it, but at this price, I suppose some fiddling is acceptable. | |
| Bottomline:Functions best with magnets at the negative end of the AAA-holder. A good light for the money, but count on a little bit of fiddling to make it work correctly. | |
I am very happy! |

| Pros:Small, but seem sturdy. I actually like using it "pistol style" with the bike mount on. Having said that it's really easy to take out anyway. this is good if you are leaving the bike and don't want the light stolen.The bike mount is logical and easy to use.Nice and bright. I compared it to another torch I have and thought it was no good...then realised I had it on low.The focus is extremely handy and still bright enough at full width. The focusing mechanism is smooth, and cannot be wound right off the light. Light spread is nice and even. | |
| Cons:Slight blue tint, which is a con if you are worried about the colour, but a pro because the eye sees it as brighter.The programme system is a bit naff in my opinion. Having to cycle through if I turn on after getting the one I want is a bit of a pain. Only three stages, but you have to click twice for each stage.The ring of light at the edges can be distracting.I bought 6! One gave some trouble with not working with the battery cap tight. I used some water repellent and that fixed it. | |
| Other Thoughts:I rated this at 4 because while I think they are excellent, one did need to be mucked about with. The programme is clumsy for me.Pro or Con?The torch does not get warm over time, with fresh cells. Either the LED is running easy, or there is maybe a heat transfer problem. Only time will tell on that.The heatsinking _looks_ OK. | |
| Bottomline:Well worth the money. I bought 6 and they are all working, and very consistent in output and appearance. | |
Fantastic |

| Pros:Definitely of better quality than those pathetic cree lights sold locally in my country. It is definitely cheaper than those powerful cree lights sold here too. This powerful torch brightens up the entire path right infront of me, however I believe this product is unneccessary in Singapore where the roads are all totally litted, so this product is actually overkill as a bike light for use locally!But but but! it works very well as a torch light, and would do if you need a bike light for occasional riding. A 2 in 1 combo. | |
| Cons:The 3xAAA batteries drains out pretty quickly, the packaging that comes with it was flimsy and broken, but never mind as long as it works fine. | |
| Other Thoughts:I love cree. | |
| Bottomline:Dont buy any branded lights anymore, they are either cheap and not bright, or bright but very expensive. Ditch you maglite and cateyesCree lights are extremely affordable, considering for its price to brightness ratio. | |
