Bike Lights for Night Riding Aluminum Mounts Waterproof Bike Light Front and Back USB-C Rechargeable Bicycle Light Metal EBike Headlight Luces para Bicicleta luz para Bicicleta

Am embarrassed to admit that in the past I’ve bought into the wild claims many companies make for their lights, like having 8000 lumens. In my defense, I don’t know much about lumens. But the discussion in these reviews leads me to believe this one will go 1200, maybe 1600 Lumens?Lesson learned, this time I looked past ludicrous claims and read the reviews. Based on them it appeared this one would finally deliver enough light without having to spend more than $50, in this case $40.I love riding my ebike at night, little traffic and cool air!. But it’s dangerous if you’re doing 20-25mph and you can’t see the potholes or debris on the road. In the past I’ve doubled up lights, which helped, but it still wasn’t adequate.This light pretty much does it- I focus it on the road 15-20 feet in front of me, and my previous light I focus much closer, like 5-10 feet in front. The beam is nicely distributed at that range of focus, not too wide, not too narrow. One reviewer claimed it was as powerful as a car headlight- not! Not even close, maybe 1/4 as powerful, but I’m not going 80mph either.Unlike other lights I’ve had (5 in the last 1.5 years), it goes from soft to medium to bright. I rarely use anything but bright, but the nice thing about this is it just takes one more click to turn it off. The other light I’ve got takes 5 clicks to get it to go off. Was nice they included a rear light, some of them don’t- it works well.It doesn’t have a laser light feature where a super intensely focused narrow beam of light flashes, piercing the daylight and makes you seen by drivers, but I don’t know if any of the under $50 lights have that capability. It does however have a mode where it flashes their brightest light. Not as capable, but still will get you noticed in the daytime.It attached easily to my handlebars and for some reason they included two attaching brackets, maybe cause of failures? So far so good.Anyways- if I had the money, I don’t, I’d willingly pay $200 for a super bright light, it’d be worth it for the safety. But for $40 I’ve finally gotten something that is much brighter and safer for my ebike! Actually wanted to write this review because I was pleased. Have had 2 lights fail on me, other brands, so time will tell. When you buy cheap you can’t always expect a long life! I’m 2 weeks in on this one, will report if it fails!

Fits perfectly on my e-bike and provides me hours of riding pleasure. About 100x better than what came with e bike. Like the range and brightness even use it occasionally for late night dog walks.

Overall, this is a good light with a few minor quibbles that I can live with, but are worth mentioning.The Good:1. The light is solid and hefty without the bulk. It’s in a metal enclosure and doesn’t feel flimsy in the hand.2. The mounting bracket is well done. I’ve purchased and returned another bike light because the mounting system was poorly designed and read many reviews of several different brands, all mentioning their poor mounting systems. This one is solid and holds on to the light very securely. Just put the mount where you want it, tighten by hand and slide the light on until it clicks. It won’t come off unless you press the release latch.3. USB A port is included to act as a secondary battery for your mobile device.4. Comes with a drawstring bag to put it in when you remove it. Nice if you want to throw it in your bag when you finish riding.5. Light is very bright, especially on the highest setting and seems to have memory of your last selection if you turn it off and back on again.The Not So Good:1. While it’s nice to have an uncluttered device, the single button requires you to remember combinations to do certain things with it. For example, the light has a special Transportation mode which allows you to lock the button and keep it from accidentally turning on when not in use in a purse, backpack, pocket, etc. But activating this mode is clunky and I’ve only been able to do it successfully once. I tried again and after 10 minutes of trying and failing, I gave up. Also, in order to get to the light’s blighted setting, you have to double click. You can’t get to it by simply pressing through the other levels.2. This is a little misleading and perhaps a major typo on the product page, but the headline says it’s 8000 lumen, the description says 2000 lumen, and the actual user guide says 1600 lumen at the highest setting. The light is nice and bright, but it’s misleading to not really know what you’re getting. Also, the manual shows a picture of an identical product with a different name, but I guess this is typical product rebranding.Overall, it’s a good light. The mount really seals the deal for me since I had so many problems with other brands. If I ever get the single button to do what it’s supposed to do the way the manual says, it will be great.
