So much good here!
~5 modes (burn time): 50 lumens (18 hrs), 100 lumens (9 hrs), 200 lumens (4 hrs), fast flashing (20 hrs) and pulse (12 hrs)-200 lumens is too much for the city!!
~Additional 15 minutes of low power safety mode after low battery indicator light comes on-a red light warns you when the batter is low, wow!
~Enclosed Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery with super easy Mirco USB charging, USB cord included, 5.5 hour charging cycle, and so fast!
~Turns back on in last mode used-no cycling through settings you don't need!
~Delayed power switch; 1 sec delay to prevent accidental on/off for your backpack.
~Mounts in seconds, no tools or twisting required!
~Water resistant for sprinkles!
The Full Review
This headlight covers all the bases and is made by a local Portland company. They know our weather and know how to design for it!
The Good:
There is so much here. My favorite features: the brightness! The easy mount. The size. How easy everything with the battery is.
The Bad:
I struggle with the power button a bit, my fingers don't like that 1 second delay.
The Bottom Line:
This is a rad bike light. I can't wait to get out on some trails and see the full potential. Coming in at just $32.99, you can't beat it. Its so bright!!!
