Date Reviewed: August 10, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | Jet Lites | | Strengths: | Very well thought-out design. It's pretty obvious some thought goes into the product. Not your standard Taiwan-sourced design and parts. For example, breakaway assembly in you snag a tree; solid connector so you don't go dark in the woods all of a sudden. Intelligent charger is also a nice feautre Great customer support. Jim at Jetlites is very knowledgeable and will take the time to explain the technical aspects of the design to you. | | Weaknesses: | Cost, but you also get what you pay for in lesser products (less reliability). Otherwise, none that I can see so far. | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale Jekyll 1000 | | Bottom Line: | I am fairly new to night riding but this light works beautifully. No problems with it at all. It simply runs and illuminates the trail very well (I have a light on my handlebars and helmet as well) I like the brightness adjustability as well as the ease of adjustment for pointing the light. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 24, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | JetLites | | Bottom Line: | Good product, good company. I had a warranty issue with the original bulb that was resolved in a day; not even a hint of a problem since then. The fuel gage on the battery is a great idea for those of us who often find it difficult to turn for home once we're out on the trail.
On the road I've had oncoming cars flash their lights to get me to turn the thing down; imagine their surprise when I crank it up a notch! I definitely know the "deer in the headlights" look as well. It's only a matter of time before one panics and runs right at me. 5 scorched retinas all around. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 14, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | Bainbridge Island Bicycle | | Strengths: | JetLites and BICycle have shown excellent customer support in identifying the problem (12V vs. 6V bulb) and accepting the product in exchange for the Starfire series.
The i6 light seems to be plenty bright when equipped with the proper bulb - more than adequate for commuting, etc.
The Starfire dual beam is on the other hand VERY bright. The combination of the wide angle 20W bulb and the 15W spot bulb produces an excellent light cone in dusk to pitch black. The light output rivals most cars on the road and does command more respect from passing motorists.
VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER | | Weaknesses: | The i6 came from the factory with a 12V bulb installed instead of a 6V bulb. | | Similar Products Used: | i6, Starfire dual beam | | Bike Setup: | Giant NRS | | Bottom Line: | i6 - Very bright, had the wrong bulb
Starfire dual beam - Insanely bright | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 2, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$199.00 | | Purchased At: | Bainbridge Island Cycle | | Strengths: | Low weight, fuel guage, adjustable wattage | | Weaknesses: | Canister mount does not fit well on large tube frames and is somewhat insecure. The light level is effective only in very dark conditions. I'm returning the light for a 12 or 13V version from Jet and probably trying the helmet mount. | | Similar Products Used: | None | | Bike Setup: | XC | | Bottom Line: | Insufficient light output, get a 12V or 13V with a 15W or 20W bulb. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: December 6, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | JET Lites | | Strengths: | I've been using the light for trail running. This thing is BRIGHT! It's lightweight enough for a distance runner. At running speeds, the lowest setting is plenty. This will give me at least 3 hours of light. | | Weaknesses: | The light is configured for bike riders. A head strap needs to be developed for hikers/runners. | | Bike Setup: | I have mounted the light on my running cap. I use a single loop of 1" strap to secure it to my head over the cap. The light rests on the bill. The wire goes through the strap & down my back to my running fannypack. This is a small, comfortable fannypack that also houses my hydration pack. There is room for my hydration pack & the battery. The up/down beam adjustment works fine on the cap. On city streets, I aim it as low as possible so that I don't blind oncoming traffic. On the trail, I aim it farther up. | | Bottom Line: | I am very happy with this light. I was worried about battery weight, but the battery pack is very small & light. This is an awesome light for runners & opens up the trails for me at night. Just be careful about where you point it. It's so bright it will freak out car drivers! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
