Gives a lot of light for the money

Pros:Gives a lot of light compared to the price tag.Easy to install, easy to use.
Cons:I really dislike the concept of having to cycle through all the modes when turning it on/off.
Other Thoughts:I bought this light for junior, and SKU 25149 for my wife. That light is much, much better, but the price tag is also much higher.The lamp is installed on juniors bike, he has a shock suspension system on the front wheels, and he prefers pointed it towards the ground just right in front of the wheel. He also doesn't do much offroad biking yet. I see many others have commented that the mount is underdimensioned and tends to slip or break. I came to think of it, I do tend to adjust the light upwards and tighten the screw every so often. Perhaps it would help to put some rubber between the mount and the bike handle bar.
Bottomline:If you want good light on a low budget, buy this light, but beware the mounting problems.If you bike a lot and you can afford it, I would recommend SKU 25149 instead.

Bright but poor quality.

Pros:Bright light, lights up lots of road, no complaints whatsoever about the brightness of this device.
Cons:Very poor build quality. Going over bumps would either switch the light off, or shift the whole light bracket so that the light points face down to the road/front wheel instead. Impossible to do the clamp up tight enough to stop this happening. Battery cover is also of very poor quality and got a crack in it very early into it's life/use.
Other Thoughts:It would be great for use as a static light in a cupboard/walkway etc mounted onto a railing or something, but hopeless on a bicycle.
Bottomline:No good on a bicycle, but a very bright light/torch if that's what you want. The makers would have been better off developing this as a torch, not a bike light.

Pros:Very bright, very easy to install on my bicycle.I've dropped it a few times but could always put it back together.Lasts for a very long time, since it's LED light.Very easy to switch it on and off.
Cons:It's pretty bulky and a little heavy.Nothing too problematic.If u don't strap it with enough force it tends to lean towards the ground.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline:Overall I think it's a decent product, I bought it because I wanted a powerful light and I got it.Price could be a little lower I think, but it's still OK.

Good light; poor bracket

Overall Rating:
Pros:Big emissive area - easy to be seen, much betterthan a pin-point of light.Useful beam spread, to light the road AND the on-coming driver's face.Useful to have different power levels to conserve battery life when max brightness is not really required.Takes AA cells: easy size to find.
Cons:Bracket is too weak. Mine lasted two days. Went over a small bump, and the bracket broke. The light bounced itself to pieces in the road and the battery holder got crushed by a truck. The switch is very difficult to feel when wearing gloves. I recommend gluing something more prominent on top of the button.
Other Thoughts:If you get one of these, find a way of fixing it securely. Do not rely on the bracket.Do not rely on the bracket.Do not rely on the bracket.Do not rely on the bracket.Do not rely on the bracket.Do not rely on the bracket.Do not rely on the bracket.Do not rely on the bracket.I managed to collect enough of mine from the road to make it work again.
Bottomline:Very bright. Nice and big. Fragile.
