Bought this for my Brother in Law for Christmas, then he left my sister in January, so unless you want a really bright bike light that lasts for ages and is easy to use and fit I don’t recommend this product as it clearly ruined my relation’s marriage.
Over the years I’ve used loads of different lights from different manufactures and it remains to be said that in the realm of lights, you decidedly get what you pay for.
Up until using this light my go-to light was a Lezyne 600xl. I never found that it wasn’t bright enough for riding in the city or even on country lanes. I think as a general rule people place far too much emphasis on lumens when they actually have little impact on real-world use. I’ve used both cheaper and more expensive lights than even this but always found the USB rechargability to be a brilliant feature to have.
I bought both this light and the more expensive and more powerful RN1500 but have found myself finding the 800 to be more useful in general. 1500lm is too bright for the vast majority of situations.
The body is made out of aluminium and is pleasantly heavy and sturdy feeling which inspires some faith in its build quality. The light has a split lens spreading the beam evenly on the road/trail in front of you whilst not dazzling other oncoming road users.
The light comes with with two mounting options and features a 1/4 turn Garmin mount meaning that you can attach it to any number of pre-existing brackets. There’s a clamp for attaching the light to your bars directly, or my preferred option, a GoPro three finger mount. This means that I can sling the light under my head unit on the same mount which means less clutter and a centralised beam. Perfect.
The UI of the light won’t come as a surprise to anyone who has used digital lights before. One short press to check the power level (indicated by the colour of the power button), a long press to turn on/off the light and short presses to switch between modes. If you hold the button down for about 10 seconds whilst the light is off you can switch between flashing or constant modes.
Lastly, the light features a USB C connector. Obviously this is used for charging the light but it can also be used in reverse in order to charge other devices. I’m a big USB C advocate – one cable to charge my computer, phone, earbuds and now bike light is brilliant. I’ve actually used the light as a power bank on a couple of longer rides where I’ve had to recharge my head unit and earbuds at cafe stops and have still had more than enough juice to get myself home.
All in all I think this light is decidedly excellent. Whilst yes, you can absolutely get away with a cheaper light with a lesser output, this is a stupendously high quality package that I feel checks all the boxes I could ask for. If you ride in normal road conditions on country lanes or in cities with poor lighting, this is more than adequate! Highly recommended!
A great front bike light, so bright and simple to use and install. Definitely recommend!
Is very large for handlebar (trek FX 1)
Any idea to fix it properly?or a 3 party fixing mechanism?
Great little light, fits perfectly on a Garmin mound. Only 2 hours on full beam, but overall a very good buy.
Also the mounting is distinctly problematical. Because of the twist-on mounting mode, it needs a lot of clear space on the handlebar either side of the mounted position. It twists on and off through a full 90, so, depending on the actual curves of the handle bar relative to anything already mounted on them, (including the stem itself…)
… then it might be quite impossible to mount or dismount this lamp without also removing it by removing the mount itself… which is a REAL DRAG because,
… would you believe…
… it is clamped on with a screw!!
Also, getting the thing properly AIMED straight down the road may be difficult, too, because there is no adjustability in the mount. It is 90 across the bar and NO SWIVEL.
Taken together, you need a fairly large section of handlebar that is not only empty of other encumbrances, but also straight and at 90 to the direction of travel. Swept back handlebars are a no-no.
As an example of the problems, it is NOT possible to either mount this lamp, or aim it correctly, on the “H” or “M” handlebars of Brompton folding bicycles. So, do be aware.
Comment: Most of the other other front cycle lights I have used either slid straight in from the front, clipped on from above, or stretched on with a rubber band. This is the first I ever had where the whole length of the thing had to be twisted sideways along the line of the bars, just get it off or on.
Now, I hope I have made all this sufficiently clear. If you have clear handlebars with no computer or phone mounts, and they are straight across the bike frame, then you will not have any problems. However, I think that is a relatively rare set if conditions, today.
Indeed, I think the mount design requiring so much space, and not being suitable for curved bars, is significant enough of a problem to be considered a design fault.
I hope this is helpful.
Super bright torch with a top quality feel. Got this for mtb night riding to be mounted on my helmet. Only used for a evening wood walk so far and a road ride but is a powerful little light. Awesome bit of kit, buy one.
As soon as I saw how well the light was packaged I knew it would be quality and I’ve not been disappointed. Brilliant, crisp lighting which even on its lowest setting offers plenty of light to see and be seen. The brightest setting is perfect for off road trails. Over lumps and bumps the mounting holds the light perfectly. Would recommend to anyone.
Really good headlight to be fair, very very bright I’m good options as well
I have had some of those in the past.
Whats not good, well so many times when i was cycle commuting the light would just go out on the way to work, no warning, no green to red indicator… just off.
Also separate battery.
And, they’re cheap really, so when the batteries fail as one did with me, you can just get another, but how much would this cost be long term I wonder?
I took the plunge on this light after much research.
If you are after a light that is great for commuting, tells you when its getting low, has good features, quick to remove, doesn’t dazzle… this may be it.
It is seemingly expensive, but only compared to the other cheap lights.
How many of those do you buy say over a couple of years?
If you want a light that is as quick as a garmin gps to remove, this is it.
If you want a light to tell you when its getting low on power, this is it.
If you want a light with a slightly dipped lens pattern so it doesn’t dazzle, this is it.
If you want a light that seems to take a trip in its stride, over and over, this is it.
There are 3 power levels on the fixed beam, all good, the top one, awesome.
The two flashing modes are good, one is fast blinking to slow the other is slow blinking.
It also seems to illuminate the handlebar area, so easy to know, or reassuring, its on.
Double press goes from flashing to steady and long press is on and off with single press going between levels.
The whole thing exudes quality and I am pleased I got it.
There are different mAH in the range, so this is 800 mAH, if you are looking for one for commuting, I suggest you go for the highest, I think that is the 1200. There may be a 2000.
They will last longer.
Overall this is a great quality light, up there with Cateye easily.
The best feature is, quick release with a confident feel, bright light, dependable.
