If you're committed to riding through the winter you'll eventually need a good light, not only to increase visibility to vehicles but also because you'll inevitably find yourself riding in the dark. This light is bright enough to ride through the countryside in the pitch dark. It has multiple brightness levels that are easy to toggle between. Also, has a low beam-to-bright blink setting that is really nice for those rides that takes place in the daylight but are in overcast conditions. I have ridden with people who use more expensive light with labels the say "Bontrager" and trust me, this is brighter and --in my opinion-- a better light.

Also, one thing I love about this light is that it's rechargeable with a micro-USB cable. (Definitely a micro-USB...I just verified this.) This is pretty common now in the bike light business and is definitely some you will want.

This light is great for early morning rides and the light modes come in handy to switch to a much brighter light on more technical roads. The mount has always been a little loose such that the light clicks in place but, can become loose on bumpy roads. I usually recheck that it's secure but, today it rattled loose on a bumpy road and somehow I missed that it fell off and couldn't find it backtracking. Bye bye light. Just make sure you have it mounted securely or stay off bumpy roads.

I'm using this light to make myself more visible to car drivers and other cyclists or exercisers on the local trail, which crosses many roads. . I've noticed more cars stopping to let me pass. I also like how securely it attaches to the handlebars. The battery seems excellent for my rides which can sometimes be 3 hours which I'm currently doing about 4 days a week.
However, I'm on my 3rd one!
The 1st one just stopped working after about 2 weeks. Hard to easily describe but the light was not staying on or staying on briefly at lower (almost none) brightness.
But Amazon makes a return/exchange SO easy and I like the product so much when it works, I opted for replacement.
After that it worked great "¦ for about 1 year. The 2nd one started doing similar things as the 1st one. But again because this light DOES work great WHEN IT WORKS, I decided to get a 3rd one!
It has been about 2 weeks on the 3rd one and so far so good!

Very bright, holds charge well.

I do a lot of riding in the dark because evening hours are when I have the most available time to go on rides. Anyway, long story short is I have 3 of these lights so I never run out of battery power/light.

First things first, this light is bright. On the highest setting you will be able to see perfectly even if you are in the woods with absolutely no ambient light. However, you will only get around 45 minutes on the brightest setting before the red indicator light comes on for low battery. At this point you probably have another 15-20 minutes to go for around 1 hour total. If you only have one light and will be riding for more than an hour you should not use the highest setting.

The flashing mode is great, but it only has one brightness level and frankly it is too bright for the purpose. I've found even during the day it distracts/blinds oncoming traffic. I have a separate lower end light I use for daylight riding.

One thing you must be conscious of is other people and oncoming traffic with this light. It will absolutely blind them on the highest setting. When it comes to oncoming traffic this is not only bad for them, but could be dangerous to you as well since they can't see what they are doing. When I'm riding on a trail, for example, at night and someone is walking towards me I not only set it to the lowest setting but I also swivel the light slightly to the side so it is not shining directly at them. The included mount allows you to easily swivel the light which is a plus for this purpose.

Overall this is a great light for night driving.
