| Pros | Small Size
Relatively Inexpensive
Quick Release Light
Long Battery Life | | Cons | Moderate Brightness
Tight Beam Focus | | Verdict | If you are a serious night rider, this may not be the best chpice for you. If you sometimes ride on the road in the evening or around sunset, this is a good choice. It will surpass most sensible light requirements for casual riders, but the beam is too tightly focused to even think of riding on a trail at night and the light output my not be sufficient for real fast riders. From a price / performance stand point, it is an excellent value. Subtract a half star for my real rating of this light. Since I am a casual night time rider, this is all I need, but I still want a brighter lighting system. | | Recommended for: Value seekers |
