I used to be an avid mountain biker and had a high end lighting system complete with two lights attached to a water bottle battery pack to light up the trail at night. I will say, 25 years worth of lighting tech has paid off and these lights far out preform the older tech! The more I use this rubber strap system, the more it just makes sense. I like being able to adjust the light by rotating the entire light and strap up or down when I am on the road as to not blind oncoming cars and pedestrians. That was something I could not do with the old system.
The light is on the larger side but is not an issue. It is lightweight and projects a beam that is not a spot light nor a wide angle flood light. Would it meet the need of a serious off road night rider down the single track, no. Does it meet the need for the rest of us casual riders that get caught out after the sun goes down, ABSOLUTELY!
Cars had no issues seeing me, I had no issues seeing the path and I am able to get the family home without issues. That goes down as a win in my book. The addition of the tail light just tops the charts! It is small, lightweight, well made and just works. I like the slow fade setting as to not startle traffic, however, when out on the trail, my son likes me to have the steady bright setting on the tail light so he can keep track of me from a further distance.
I can not speak to battery life just yet as when I received the package, I put them straight on the bikes and we went for an 8 mile ride. I had the lights on for about an hour and they were still bright when we got back! At that rate, if I just need to charge them every other ride or two that would be fine by me.
I would not hesitate making this purchase again if needed or recommending this to others. On that note, if you are looking at this as a gift (perhaps for that high school grad going off to college), the packaging is really nice and sturdy, feels top quality and would wrap up nicely.
Overall, a nicely executed product from Cycle Torch at a very reasonable price geared for a varied audience.
Well done Cycle Torch, Well done indeed.
Right out of the mailing carton the product is impressive: it comes in a great little box with a magnetic catch, and the items inside (the light itself, the mounting bracket, USB charging cord, and the little “button” back light) are all snugly stored in compartments cut into a thick piece of foam. Add to that an informative little instruction leaflet, and from the get-go you'll be confident you made the right choice (I know I was).
Okay, this item isn't going to stand in comparison against the super-lights that you can buy here on Amazon, or anywhere else, but those things are going to set you back from between one to two hundred bucks. For the price point of this item, you're getting a really good, and well-made little product for the money. The light feels nice and hefty in the hand, but without being too heavy.
Of the four main settings for the light: high, medium, low, and flashing, I will mainly be using the flashing setting, and the light seems to be more than bright enough for that purpose.
My initial impressions of the bike light's mounting bracket (it's a kind of plastic ratchet that feeds a ribbed strap through a small winding mechanism) was that it wasn't up to standard, and that it was rather flimsy and insubstantial. In use, however, my opinion changed. Once I had fitted the bracket I was very impressed with the way it tightened up, and it seems like it will take the weight of the light and remain in place despite any vibration caused by irregular road surfaces, etc.
I doubt whether the plastic mounting bracket would scratch the finish of a bike's handlebars, but, just in case, you might be well advised to put a piece of electrical tape, or similar, around the area of the handlebars where you're going to mount the light.
A neat feature of the mounting bracket is that the part where the light clips on will allow for rotary movement, either to the left, or to the right, so that you can align the light exactly how you want it. Once the light is fitted to the bracket, you can grasp it and twist it either clockwise, or anti-clockwise, until it is in the desired position. The bracket swivels and clicks into place as it moves from one position to the next.
As I said before, I will mainly be using this light on flashing mode, and so far I've used it in varying weather conditions – from dull and overcast, to bright sunshine. I've always found the light to be more than powerful enough for my needs. Even in bright sunlight, I can see the light illuminating the reflective surface of road signs from quite a distance away, and that's very impressive. I've no doubt that this light would be more than adequate for night use.
I can't tell you anything about charging times for the light, as I've not had to recharge it yet. I'm happy that there is a safety feature built-in that turns the light off before it is fully discharged, so as to protect both the battery and the electronic circuitry.
I should mention, in closing, that this light set also comes with a rear light, but it's fairly small, and not quite up to the task, in my opinion (even so, it's a welcome bonus). It's pretty bright, but I'm not sure how long the button cell (supplied and already fitted) would last. I'd recommend fitting it to your cycle helmet, if that is possible, and then getting yourself a more substantial, and brighter, rear light to fit to the bicycle itself.
I know the listing for this item describes the rear light as follows: “Free USB Taillight,” but, whilst the front light is rechargeable via the use of a USB power cord (that you can plug into your computer), the rear light is not USB, and is operated by a small “button” type of battery. Possibly the initials “USB” might mean something else in this instance, I don't know, but I took it to mean that both lights are charged with a USB cord. This is not the case – just so you know.
I'd recommend this light to anybody. It's a well designed, and well made product. It does what it's supposed to do, and for the price point I don't think you could go far wrong.

Mon verdict est sans appel: cette lampe est parfaite, autonomie, éclairage, résistance dans le temps.. Après avoir mangé la pluie la neige la poussière et j'en passe, je suis bluffé. Rien à signaler sur l’éclairage arrière qui cumule les mêmes qualité que l'avant.
Malheureusement ma lampe avant vient de passer sous les roues d'une voiture, j'en serais presque endeuillé.. Après m'avoir accompagné partout pendant ces 3 années sans jamais faillir. Je vais sans hésiter reprendre la même.
