The Corona is a commuter's dream and perfect for lighting up the trail. With the ability to switch between 8-, 5-, 3-, or 1-LED output, the Corona allows the user to choose the amount and type of light to satisfy every task. Whether your needs are to flood the street with light or make sure everyone sees you coming, the varying levels of output and number of LEDs chosen create a wide variety of burn times, beam patterns and energy consumed. Each mode also offers the option of switching to a blinking mode, further ensuring your safety.

Bike Setup:
Commuter MTB, Cannondale CAD3 XT/LX mix
Bottom Line:
I bought one of these lights for the helmut and after last nights ride home I was pretty impressed. I like being able to choose how many LEDS to light up between all 8, 4, 3 or 1 and the blinking mode is also nice. Half my ride home goes through the deep woods and with all 8 on it lit up the trail well. I just ordered another one to mount on the handle bar. The weaknesses to me are not that big of a deal but it would be nice to be able to unplug the cord.

Purchased At:
Scheels
Strengths:
Price,Nice and bright for its size.LED-long lasting burn time.Battery pack seems to be just right and not to bulky.Very wide beam of light on full power.
Weaknesses:
The mounting bracket does not fit on oversized handlebars like 31.8.All you have to do is use a zip tie instead of the bolt and nut that comes with it. Other than that it is a hell of bargain.
Bike Setup:
F600 furio Canondale with all the trimmings.
Bottom Line:
Raced with a team at the 24 hours of Afton alps in Minnesota and I had it on the handlebar with a Princeton tec EOS on my helmet. Great combination of lights.While the Corona worked great it needed another light like the EOS to help it out. Great light for the money,puts out a good wide beam that will last all race on one set of batteries,Awesome.
