My wife bought me the Cyclops Pro for my birthday and after using it for a couple of months, I've decided it's one of the best doo-dads you can buy for your bike. I used old AA-battery powered Vista and Specialized lights before, but they're toys compared to a NiteRider. I ride mainly on streets at night, so I like to have plenty of light to be seen and to avoid potholes and road obstacles.No problems with the light yet, but I don't like that you can ruin the battery by over-charging. I just bought one of those cheap mechanical times you plug into an outlet so it will shut off the juice after 14 hours... | | Overall Rating: |

My lens has a hole in it and my bulb is broken. My local dealer said it would be a while before he would order any parts, so I've been stuck without my light for many moons. | | Overall Rating: |

About a year ago, I was looking for a good helmet light to go along with the one on my bike. I was like you, reading these reviews. After that and talking to people I decided on this light. Boy am I glad I did. It is the brightest light I could ever need. It comes with a bike mount or you can get the helmet mount. Use the helmet mount. The beam is much too precise to go on the bike. But it works the best on the helmet. I get good time for my night rides on a charge. Get the 15 watt if you get it. It almost seems to be double that. It's tough, it's rough, it's everything a helmet light should be, especially for your mellon. Take this review and add a chilli pepper!! | | Overall Rating: |

My wife and I have been using the 20w version for 1.5 years. We do a regular group night-ride every Thursday night. The light works well except:1. One of our handle bar mounting brackets broke after about a month.
2. A MAJOR weakness exists in the design of the plug that connects the battery
to he light. Among the 10, or so, friends I know that own the exact same light,
about half of them are experiencing problems like; the connector inside the light rotating and breaking the internal wire, the plug from the battery breaking off inside the light, intermittent connection between the light and the battery (really spices-up a fast down hill!).But I must still say that aside from the lousy connection (which I am cutting-out and replacing with a 60 cent Radio Shack connector), I'd still buy the damn thing again. | Overall Rating: |

This review applies to the NiteRider Supersport. I went with this model because I liked the ability to use both alkaline and ni-cad rechargables. With the alkalines the run times seem to be about 5 hours, ni-cad about 2.5. I have just begun to go on night mtn bike rides so I bought this light on the advice of a local shop. Well after 2 rides I can say that this is a great product. Compared with friends that have Cateye Hyper Halogens, this light is several times brighter. After reading the other reviews it appears that it should be durable as well.... Good value for $70. | | Overall Rating: |

These guys have such a good rating in here, I thought prospective buyer's might like to hear another side. I liked the light very well (it was a Christmas present). But after a really rough trail one day, I realized when I got home, that the whole light head had fallen off somewhere. I went back over the whole area as best I could, but as I hadn't been following a trail part of the time,, I couldn't be sure to cover everything. I never did find it anyway. A call to nightrider though, and they have no provision for the event of their product falling off. Best they could do was to send me to a dealer to buy a replacement head for $52. For folks who can afford it, this might not be so bad, but for me, that's a lot of money for a product that shouldn't have fallen off in the first place. It's supposedly MADE for mountain biking (read: rough trails)! | Overall Rating: |

I bought the Niterider Cyclops 15-watt light with a helmet mount and water bottle battery last fall and used it throughout the winter months on easy to moderately difficult trails. The unit casts an extremely bright white but somewhat narrow spot which will illuminate a trail for at least 75 feet ahead of the rider. I have compared the Cyclops with my friend's Vista 10-watt light, but there is no contest; the Vista light beam is yellow and weak in comparison. The white color of the Niterider's beam is important because yellowish light is swallowed up by the color of the dirt. When fully charged the battery will give about 2 hours of service, but I still carry a cheap Cateye on the handlebar to limp home on in case the Niterider battery starts getting low. The owner's manual cautions that running the battery down can damage it. I have never tried the Cyclops on the handlebar, but I think the beam would be too narrow for that purpose. I put the water bottle battery in my Camelbak and run the power cable over the back of my helmet. It works fine that way, although the battery does take up quite of bit of space in the Camelbak. One very slight drawback that I've noticed is that the small pushbutton switch on the light is difficult to operate while wearing thick gloves, but that's a very minor problem. One thing that is definitely needed, however, is some sort of indicator of the battery charge level. The only way to know if you're running out of juice is to notice that the beam is starting to yellow. And worse, it would be easy to damage the battery by overcharging it.Overall, I think the Niterider Cyclops is an excellent light. It rates at least 5 flaming chili peppers. | | Overall Rating: |

This light ROCKS! I got the Cyclops Premuim with the pouch battery. I've only tried the helmet mount and it's great! The one thing that I kinda hoped for was a wider beam. The beam is so narrow that it's hard to see a whole lot, but the brightness makes up for it. I've got the 45-Watt Nightsun Team Max and compared to that, the 15-Watt Cyclops is just as bright in its tiny beam.
This light would probably be the most useful as the helmet light because it is so narrow. I ride streets at night and (I don't do this to everyone) being able to point the light in the faces of drivers that don't see me is a good defense against getting run over.
I would recommend the pouch battery over the water bottle battery because of the versatility in mounting it. The waterbottle battery can only be mounted in a waterbottle cage. The pouch can be put at the head tube/top tube junction, at the top tube/seat tube junction, on the saddle rails/seatpost, or in a Camelbak for those of you with funky frames like a Y or something.
I've hit this light on several overhanging branches and it has come out fine. The light is also waterproof, as are all of the Niterider lights.
Niterider is the company to go to when it comes to lights that are practically indestructable. | | Overall Rating: |

NIGHTRIDERS RULE!!!!!! They have the best mounting bracket, and its impossible to break.
The water bottle battery is sweet (Pro-6 model) and it doesnt move when riding.
The only problem with this light is the fact that the beam is so narrow. Thats cool on the street, but on the trail, you
cannot see around turns. Get the Classic or Nighthawk for trail riding-they have the flood beam that is REQUIRED for twisty
trail riding. The quality of materials used on this light are first class. The light itself is indestructible.

I have both a a Vista Light setup (two lights, 10w & 15w) and a Nite Rider setup (same 10w & 15w). Of the two, I have to say that I like the Nite Rider better. I've used this setup the last two years at the 24 hours of Canaan as well as riding it with my friends who use the Vista light setup above. They always comment that my lights seem brighter and throw a better beam. I have to say that the 15w in particular is better for the NiteRider while the 10w on the Vist may be marginally better than the NR. I also like the bottle mount better than the bag mount as it seems more secure on the bike. BTW, I also ride with a guy that has the dual beam NiteRider and it doesn't seem as bright as my single lights. I strongly recommend having a helmet mounted light and a bar light. If you only get one light, make it a helmet mount. You won't believe the difference. (The helmet light points where you are looking, the bar mount only points where the bike is pointing. Try a going downhill fast with 90 degree turn in the middle and you'll find out the significance between a helmet and bar mount!) | | Overall Rating: |

My buddy rode with a 10W + 20W Cyglo light and it wasn't as bright as my 15W.

Certainly my favorite. One of their fave lights was the new Cat Eye Stadium Light. After reading the review basically this Cat Eye is one bitchin’ bright light. I think to myself , I maybe 5 minutes slower at night riding with my cyclops, on a 1.5 hour ride, how much more light do we need. Work on light weight batteries with more staying power.Any ways after a season of use and a 24 hour race the Niterider Cyclops Premium has never failed. I use the helmet mount and it works great. I enjoy the freedom of a helmet mount rather than a bar mount. I paid $200 Canadian and it has allowed me to ride an extra 75 plus hours this season. On a per hour basis that’s pretty cheap.

I just purchased a Nitrider Cyclops Premium light. The good news: I really
like this light! It is a well made, quality light. The performance is great.
I find it excellent for riding on smooth trails .. however, I do find that
I have to slow down when riding in really rough stuff on single tracks. My
guess is that it would be preferable to have a dual light system if you are
really riding a lot off road. I find night riding to be a real gas ... I
see deer, rabbits, fox, racoons, and other creatures of the night every
time I ride. The only down side I have found so far has been NiteRider's
new policy (?) about providing extra parts, etc. for my light. I called them
to see if I could get Ball Cap Mount so I could use my light when I hike,
snowshoe, x-country ski etc. I was told that they no longer sell any parts
directly to the consumer ... that I have to go through a bike shop to order
anything they sell. The catch here is ... I live in an area where the
nearest Niterider dealer is 300 miles away. None of my local bike shops have
expressed an interest in ordering this from Niterider. I bought the light
from one of the major catalog distributors ... but they don't carry those
little niggly parts like ball cap mounts ... and don't seem to be interested
in ordering them. I tried to explain this to the rep at Niterider to no
avail. Summation I give the light a 5 rating ... but Niterider service rep
a 1. Overall rating still a 4. | | Overall Rating: |

I used to run a Cateye Hyper Halogen that ran on 4 AA batteries. I switched to a rechargeable NiCad Cyclops 15 and am very glad I did. Although it cost about $140, it is well worth the cost for the increase in power. I can run up to 3 hours and use my Cateye as a cheap backup light if I need it. This light is so bright I've had cars flash their high beams when using it (I ride to trails on the road at night). It has 3 settings for the level of the beam (where it shines ahead of you). It only has one intensity setting though. I would like to see a high and low. With my Cateye on the other side I can switch between the two however.

Niterider is probably the best manufacturer of bike lighting systems

bracket is design so that you can easily shift the lights focus
point to three different angles depending on the riding conditions.
