from Arnold,Mo. Date Reviewed: June 5, 2011 Strengths: Great light , long battery life. Different modes... Weaknesses: The mounting system is bad ...This is our second set(mine and spouse) The lights will fall out of the mounting bracket.They were ran over by a car.That is why we had to buy second sets. We have put rubber bands around them to help keep them on..They are used only on the street and smooth trails, no mountain biking. I wish they had a better mount system because they are great lights.. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Grant and Katy Trails Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: internet/dealer Similar Products Used: Blackburn tail lights.. They are great. no problems with them or their mounting. Bike Setup: Raleigh cr40 /cross

from Portland, OR Date Reviewed: November 24, 2007 Strengths: Large frontal area and plenty of light to the sides make for great "be seen" visibility; water proof; my favorite AA-powered front light. I run two for better visibility. Weaknesses: Make sure it's clipped all the way into the mounting bracket. Bracket doesn't fit odd-size bars well. Blink mode can get in your eyes. Solution for that is pictured here: http://www.vangelisti.com/prevention/Bicycle-Safety-Information.htm Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Surveyor's Ridge, Hood River, OR Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Bike Gallery

from Farmington, NM Date Reviewed: December 28, 2006 Strengths: Very bright for a small light. LEDs are perfect to use for commuting and night training. I use this for night training on the road and commuting. You will have to be careful if going too fast, due to limited distance of illumination. Anything under 20 mph is pretty safe. Mount is easy to remove, and batteries last so long, that I don't care about how long it takes to install them. Lights are also easy to see from the side by motorists. flash modes are nice in the daytime or twilight situations. Weaknesses: None Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Colorado Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: LBD Similar Products Used: Cateye headlights, Niterider D Evolution Bike Setup: 3D Racing Scandium, 3D Racing Cross Bike.
