Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by 2leftfeet   on December 15, 2008   Pros Small, lightweight, super simple mount that works, blindingly bright flash mode, bright enough to ride by, charges from cell type battery (no wall outlet needed to recharge) Cons If you could lightly depress the switch and have it go into flash mode for a few seconds, then go back to steady this would be the most perfect itsy bitsy light ever. Verdict Perfect when you end up staying out after dark when you did not mean to. Fully capable as a road bike/commuting light. OK off-road so long as the trail surface is well defined and you don't want to go too fast. Recommended for: Anyone
