Strengths:    Very bright light with good diffusion to perimeter.
Very good depth perception and shadowing of obstacles big and small.
Compact battery with functional strap allows very easy attachment to the bottom of the top tube.

Weaknesses:    None to my knowledge.

Bottom Line:

I have run this light for three and four hour rides.
There are at least three light settings plus flashing.
The activation switch/button has a light that indicates the battery life (run time indicator). When the button blinks red, just switch the light to the next lower setting and the run time indicator returns to green.
Setup is easy and the mount will actually allow the light to swivel at least 180 degrees.
Serfas has a real winner here.
EXTREMELY satisfied with this light

Strengths:    Tons of light and a great helmet mount.

Weaknesses:    Run times slightly shorter than listed

Bottom Line:

Got a great deal, but would have paid full price for the light. More light than I could possibly need. Full speed on single track at night is not a problem. Helmet mount lets me "alert" drivers on the way to and from the woods. Have to see how long the battery lasts.

Strengths:    Great light, at the highest setting more light than you would ever need. Good warning before battery goes, light weight and adaptable to either handle bar or helmet. Weather tight and good in wet conditions.

Weaknesses:    The light only lasts 1/2 of manfactured specs. This is my second unit and the same performance. At high beam it dies at 30mins. Same for all settings. Not much help from the distributor and no extra capacity battery available.

Bottom Line:

I like the light,no issues. The battery runs out of juice way too soon.

Strengths:    THE POWER, THE PRICE, THE QUALITY.

Weaknesses:    You own another light and can't justify throwing it in the trash to buy this one.

Bottom Line:

Nothing, NOTHING beats this value for money. Lifetime warranty, 1500 lumen (measured not calculated like those internet order chinese systems). Helmet mount, bar mount, extension cord, Li-ion battery, even a storage bag.
