The compact 8-AA remote battery pack is designed to attach to a frame rail or insert into your hydration pack or backpack. Yukon Extreme 's versatility is second to none—it offers users the ability to switch between a piercing high-power Xenon bulb for long-range, high-intensity requirements and three Ultrabright LEDs for when a cyclist needs to be seen or when burn time is more important.

Bottom Line:
Great for my first helmet mount. I was used to using the Sigma Evo on my handlebars when I found this set on Chainlove.com.
The Yukon mounts easily and lasts for the advertised amount of time. I will probably go for a rechargeable unit sometime, but for now, this set works for a helmet mount for me.

Purchased At:

Strengths:
light weight. Mount on helment or bars. Take standard AA batteries.
Weaknesses:
A combine mode of lights would be cool
Similar Products Used:
Halogen lights.
Bike Setup:
KHS 704R xt, Airborne lucky strike XT
Bottom Line:
This light make a great inexpensive backup and secondary light to a hardle bar systems. I used it all summer and only change the batteries once to be on the safe side before a 24hr race. I used light as a complement to my 30 watt halogen system. My system broke I decide to replace in it with the switchback 3 because I like the manufactures quality. The light is not powerful enough to be used for full time trail riding. I was fine for conserving power during long slow fireroad climbs or for sunset while trying to get back to the car.
