from USA Date Reviewed: September 30, 2009 Strengths: LED is the way to go. Better than HID. I have the wireless remote version. The light weighs the same as the non-wireless version (the wireless battery is what makes it remote, not the light). Weaknesses: As mentioned already, the bike mount is insufficient. Not much effort put into that part of the design. Come on Niterider, improve some of your older products, as well as come out with some new ones. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Jenson USA

from camarillo,ca USA Date Reviewed: January 5, 2008 Strengths: The Li-Ion battery is very light and I can get 2 rides on one charge using the high beam, the color of the light is a strong white color with a great hot spot. also the light comes on immediately rather than a warm up and sometimes a power reset needed for some HID lights. Weaknesses: DO NOT BUY THE WIRELESS VERSION. I had purchased the wireless model because the dealer sold me the light at the "wired" price. I think the main purpose of the wireless was for users that want to use it for a helmet mount. But the light is too heavy to use on your helmet, for me I am mostly a downhill rider and any movement to my helmet is a dangerouse distraction, here is the major contradiction: the system would not have to be wireless if the light switch was mounted on the light head itself rather than on the battery. another consideration is that the RF unit for the wireless is in the battery itself, which means that a battery replacement will cost you $250.00, The mount for the light unit is basically a giant rubber band not what i would expect for a $500.00 light. where do the niterider engineers get their feedback?? also the battery level indicator is a color code of blue:meaning a strong battery and Red: meaning a battery on low capacity, but after that the light will just SHUT OFF, Not a safe situation on a fast downhill single track!!
