Princeton Tec Switchback 3 Reviews
MTB GEAR STATS
Description:
Serious. Powerful. Dominating. The Switchback 3 for all of its power has a refined side. The best lights are not just about sheer power, but also about beam patterns that can handle all types of trail. The Switchback 3 uses a combination of focused and filtered collimators to create a beam pattern that can handle high speed singletrack and also
provide enough close up light to have great visibility in tight, winding trails. Whether racing or just hammering the trail, the Switchback 3 will make the whole ride a little bit easier.

Pros
Long battery life - I've gotten more than 8 hours on high! Full beam pattern. Easy controls.
Cons
Heavy battery pack. The wiring has also gone a little wonky over time - sometimes the slightest jiggle will cause the light to turn off.
Review
This is a good bar mount light to use in addition to a low/medium power head lamp. I usually mount the battery on my stem and rock out for hours!
Pros
Comes with absolutely everything you need and thensome. Very bright and throws alot of light in a nice colume pattern
Cons
none
Review
Great LED lighting system that will not break the bank. Perfect for any type of riding, even for very long ride. The 6 hours of full power is more than enough for most rides.
