Strengths: The light gives a really strong beam, which is great for my daily 25-mile commute.Weaknesses: Max 2-hours of light. And if I don't use the light for 2 days, the unused light will emit energy and I'll end up without the full 2 hours, which has left me biking in the dark. Weak strap that breaks when pulling too hard on it.Bottom Line: The light is very durable. It hopped off the mount while biking and endured a hard fall, but still worked fine and barely a scratch. Though the strap snaps easily, new ones cost just 3 dollars. Seems I've paid a lot more for it than others on this site, but compared to prices in Denmark, it's still very reasonably priced.

Strengths: Lots of little pockets to hold gear, capacity to carry everything you need, thick padded back. I fully load mine with tools water and can't even tell the thing is on my back.Weaknesses: Not really one but If there was a large long pocket in main compartment to organize pump and longer tools.Bottom Line: Great pack, especially from what I was using before. I got a huge deal on the bag but if I had to I would pay full price for another one.

Strengths: The light itself is good.Weaknesses: Mounting strap. Doesn't matter how good the light is if you can't mount it to your bike.Bottom Line: Had this light for six months, but only used it on a commuter for three because of an injury. On one strap setting it slipped, and on the next one it broke from pulling too hard. Light and Motion won't stand behind it and warranty the strap. Never used off road (and I really wouldn't recommend this light for that), and it still wouldn't hold the light still without breaking. Save your money and buy something else. Would like to rate the actual light higher, but like I said, if you can't mount it on your bike, it's worthless. I now use it as a flashlight.

Similar Products Used: P.O.S. cheap Cateye headlight (which is still better than this because you can use it on a bike). L&M Solo Logic lights (which have a sturdy mount).

Strengths: The light itself. Light-weight, strong unit which gives off a pure strong beam. Love it.Weaknesses: Attachment system. Pretty much a rubber band with a hook. Impossible to adjust after attaching without compromising the integrity of the attachment itself. Hate it!Bottom Line: Planning on bolting the light on somehow and just keeping it on the bike all the time. I would not buy it again because of the attachment system, but the light itself is great.

Similar Products Used: The older 80 lumen Vega, which I still keep as back-up. I miss its' firm and more adjustable bracket system.
Bike Setup: 2005 Jamis Satellite road bike, the only part which has'nt been completely renewed or rebuilt is the frame, which I refuse to give up.

Strengths: Quick Mount
Bright Light
Simple Operation
Build QualityWeaknesses: Quick Mount (rubber strap)
No charging indicator
Only one settingBottom Line: Great light and very rugged. Survived a bad fall (bike upside down for several feet) with only rubber strap failing. Replacement straps are only 3 dollars. Like it so much I purchased a second Vega, the 200 which does have multiple settings. The 200 was on sale for 101.00! The Vega 120 should be a good commuter light. Probably not good on the trails due to the mount.
