My son wanted a light on his motorcycle but I didn't want to connect it to the electrical system in fear of him leaving it on and killing the battery since it's electric start only. This light works great and has single, double or triple light settings as well as strobe. The battery lasts a long time and it charges relatively quickly. Installation would be pretty easy if you have the right size bar to mount it to and it does come with spacers but not enough to install on a thin bar. I wish it would have come with a second mount for small diameter bars but I was able to create my own solution. Excellent light for the price and it's very bright with a nice spot patter that is relatively wide as well. For $29.99 at the time of this review I think it's a great deal especially for an aluminum bodied light and aluminum mount.

I’ve grown accustomed to rechargeable bike lights that are bright enough that anybody can see me coming.Unfortunately, my current light assembly utilizes a rubber strap that wraps around the handlebar and takes up quite a bit of valuable space in that area.This kit is unique in that it connects near the steerer post tube assembly, that is, the centermost part of your bike handlebars. Once attached, the light itself juts out from the front of the center area and not off to the right or left like strap models do.But this is a snafu for some in the installation procedure. If you have shifting and braking cables curving out in front of your handlebars, like I do, you’ll find the light has to be positioned up and that presents a problem - I want to see the road, not the treetops.But that’s not the only issue, so I’ll just list them:Installation is cumbersome, mainly because the screws for the mounting rings are not captive. If you get them loose (which you’ll do to set everything up) and don’t watch, they’ll drop out.Nylon rings are given for the various size handlebars any user may encounter, and that’s great, but nylon is not grippy. No matter how tight I made these, there was slack. This meant the light bobbed up and down while riding if I hit a bump (in a town full of bumps).Concerning #2 above, the light assembly is made of aluminum and has heft. Whether or not the manufacturer realizes it, this stresses the plate holding the light to the assembly.Screws are apparently made of soft metal - I nearly stripped one. Be careful torquing these down.As mentioned before, this may interfere with brake cables and, possibly, steering. In my case the light snagged one of my cables during, fortunately, a low speed turn.There are two screws for the main bracket that holds the light assembly. I loosened them thinking it might give me some more forward clearance but they merely allowed that part to come off.Usage times are a little confusing with low rated at 2.5 hours, high at 4, all bright 2 and flash at 3 hours. Shouldn’t the low beam time be higher than the high? Just saying.Now for the good points:1. This is bright. Fire up this bad boy and you’ll have the road ahead brightly lit (or trees, in my case), so much so that oncoming cars may flash their brights if you hit them just right. For a comparison, your average 60 watt light bulb puts out 800 lumens, but that’s in a 360 degree pattern. This light puts out a 1,200 lumen arc of light mainly centered with some off to the right and left (180 degrees).2. It has a 4 light battery gauge built in giving you an indication when it might be time to recharge.As a word of caution, don’t stare directly into the lens when turning it on, as my better half did. She might stop seeing flash dots in a day or two. This is bright!In the end, this just didn’t work for me. Cable interference and its tendency to bounce during rides made it a no-go.But now I do have a really bright rechargeable flashlight for the house!As for pricing, this is within the price range for this type of bike light and construction.

THIS LIGHT ITSELFThis light is HEAVY. It is super bright also, with a wide spread possible. Very good if you do a lot of night riding. Good to be seen by others at dusk, as well. For daylight riding, however, it is partially useful (see below) but for only about 3 hours in the safest mode, flashing. So, if your rides last more than that, you should know that low beam steady lasts about 4 hours.DAYTIME USEI am a long term cyclist who believes that cyclists who do not use super super bright flashing TAIL lights and a reasonably bright flashing front light FOR DAYTIME use, are crazy! The sooner that drivers coming up behind you see you, the more likely it will be that they adjust for your presence, and in fact typically pass you on the left by an extra couple of feet more than they would otherwise. On four way road intersections cars across from you and especially about to turn left simply do not "see" you, a cyclist, because most motorists are conditioned to see bigger objects like cars. That is where daytime headlights on a bike, especially when flashing, can save you.If you are concerned about weight and are primarily a day rider with rides lasting on occasion more than 3 hours, look for a lighter headlight that flashes and can last longer, perhaps for several rides, even if it is not as intense as this one is. It is the flashing that makes you seen.NIGHTTIME USEAim this carefully, depending on where you ride mostly at night. On bike paths, the narrowest high beam will give you 4 hours and, aimed carefully will not blind those coming toward you.
