Good backup, lightweight and pocketable | |
| Rating: |  |
| I ride for every day transportation and short commute. I like that this light is lightweight enough to carry all the time, in case I get caught in the dark unexpectedly. It's quick release has none of the protrusions that make other lights uncomfortable to carry in a pockit - even in jeans. It helps see potholes on a moderate speed commuteand it provides essential warning to motorists, especially in flash mode. Works well hand-held flashlight too. And the price is low. ***LED lights last long, but beam will get progressively weaker over time, as with any battery device. So replace your batteries before they get too weak. Forgetting this especially easy to do with tail blinkers. OVerworn batteries = less safety!*** Again, I recommend this light as a backup, though I often end up using it as a primary for convenience. | |

Great little light | |

| This is an ideal little emergency light It can help you home in the dark in a pinch. I keep this small light mounted to the handlebars of my fancy, weekend ride bike in case I don't get home before dark. I turn in on in flash mode when there are any weather conditions limiting visibility so I will be noticed by cars. I have used for unplanned night riding when I don't get back before nightfall, but would not use this for regular evening commuting. | |

Great bang for the buck, but no Trinewt | |

| A great little light if you're in a pinch for some illumination. It has a surprisingly strong beam for a small disposable battery light. The only draw back is it's relatively short range, which tends to be a big issue for commuters who work night shifts (like myself). I plan to use this as a blinky after I get a NiteRider light kit. Also comes in handy as a flashlight with it's quick release catch. | |

Good Value, fair performance | |
| Rating: | |
| The beam on this unit is relative weak. It is not good for night riding without street lights but will perform will in dark spots along streets when commuting at night. For the money, a good choice. I've used mine for five months, commute about 14 miles a day in the dark and only changed the batteries once! | |

good light, better value | |
| Rating: | |
| Overall, this is a good light for city commuting and night time riding. While the light isn't particularly strong it helps you be noticed. Plus it's fairly easy on the wallet. | |

Bright light, hard to attach | |
| Rating: | |
| Excellent light and very bright. Easy to use single button on/off/flash. Just took me a little while to get the mount around my bars so I could attach the light. | |

Poorly made, annoying design | |
| Rating: |  |
| I'm a year round bike commuter in Minnesota, so my headlight gets a lot of use. This light would be decent if not for two major flaws - construction and switch design. Construction - After owning this light for only a few weeks the connection between the mount and light fractured, and the light started flying off the front when I slowed down. I replaced the mount and it happened again. Turns out a piece broke off the cheap plastic casing of the light. It's now taped to my handlebars with electrical tape. Switch - you have to hold the button down to turn it off. Not only is this annoying when wearing winter gloves, but it does nothing from stopping the light from turning on while sitting in a bag. I could understand if they designed it the other way around so you had to hold it in to turn it on, but no. Can't wait to replace this piece of junk. | |

Good light, bad mount | |
| Rating: |  |
| I used this light to commute, and it works very well for that. However, I also use my bike for competitions where I need to remove the light and put on my aerobars - the light mount is made from cheap plastic that is not rigid enough for the tool-free design. I managed to remove it once and get it back on with no breakage, but the second time I tried it snapped. I am going to replace it with another Cateye product, but one with a different mount type. | |

Nice Light | |
| Rating: | |
| This is a nice light for use around the city where there street lights and other light sources. It has flash and stready settings which both make the bike visible. It is not strong enough to provide great visibility for the biker if there is no other light available. | |
