| Burn-time |
It has different power output levels, but even on the brightest it has never run out for me on normal length night rides (up to 3 hours) |
| Good points |
Bomb proof construction and LED bulb so nothing to go wrong.
The LED means that it gives a bright white light using low power which means a longer burn time.
Intelligent charger - just leave it plugged it and it handles the charging (including top up charging) automatically which prevents over charging and means its always ready to go.
Comes with helmet and handlebar mounting brackets. 3 different light intensity modes and flashing mode.

| Bad points |
The battery pack is bulkier than some other brands and it doesn’t fit in a bottle cage. I use the helmet mount and just throw it in the camelback so its not really a problem.
There are brighter systems out there for more money but the output is equivalent to other single bulb systems and is fine for normal night riding.

5/5. I can’t find much to fault with this system - reliable and don’t have to worry about remembering to charge the battery. |
