There's brighter lights out there. This is the best for the price though.

This is a great light in general, as it is very bright, easy to mount, and seemingly impervious to heavy rain. The light itself can be detached easily from the mounting bracket through a hook-type system. This is a plus in that it is easy to remove the light when leaving the bike unattended, but it is a huge negative in that if you ever leave the light attached to the bike it is very likely to be stolen, since taking it requires only a simple and discreet hand motion.
The body of the light can also apparently be detached from the hook that hooks into the mounting bracket, which is unfortunate because if it comes loose the light can just fall off. I don't think this would ever be a problem for most people, but I happened to crash my bike with the light on and when I saw the light on the ground, quickly hooked it back on without a second thought, only to discover later that the light had fallen back off leaving me with a bare hook attached to the bracket.
I really liked this light, and the first one lasted me over a year before it was stolen when I left it on my locked bike for a few hours accidentally. Unfortunately, the second one was lost to the woods within two weeks when I crashed, and within a few months the third was lost for no apparent reason - it wasn't left unattended or subjected to rough riding as far as I can recall. It's really frustrating to go through three lights in a season.
So, this may well be the perfect light for you, but you should keep in mind the above facts and consider your riding habits. |

| Seems well built, very bright light. I've used it about 7-8 hours so far and all is well. As usual, offered the best pricing... |

| Good little light that is extremely bright. Gives good signal for safety to those behind you. Good quality and a great price. |
