Submitted by gl1970 a Racer from Brockville, Ontario, CANADA
Date Reviewed: September 2, 2008
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $93.00
Purchased At:Sporting Life
Strengths:Easy to use, lightweight, compact. Decent light output for it's size. Uses AA-sized batteries so alkaline or rechargeables can be used.
Weaknesses:Handlebar mount can vibrate out of alignment on long or rough trails. Less than 2 hours on a set of freshly-charged NiMH AA's. Doesn't come with a helmet mount.
Similar Products Used:Numerous DIY LED and Halogen lights.
Bike Setup:Norco Nitro, Manitou R7 Elite, Hayes Mag, LX/XT/XTR components, Mavic Crossland Tubeless.
Bottom Line:It lights up when you turn it on and it doesn't weight a ton. It would have been nice if BLT had included the helmet mount with the kit as the Firewire 4.0 would make a nice lightweight helmet light.

P.S. If anyone knows if the emitter is regulator and what kind is used please let me know.
