The High gives you a surprisingly bright spot for a 1 watt LED. The Superflash mode (very impressive) gives you a safe..." Read Full Review »

Good for safety, just don't drop it.

""Reinforced alloy midsection" isn't durable as they claim. Mine broke after being dropped once. I duct-taped it back together and it's worked fine like that for several months.

"I use this light for commuting in the evenings in NYC. It creates terrific visibility. Very bright--and on flash mode it really gets people's attention. I'm not crazy about the mount, but it's held up so far. I needed to shim it to get it to fit my handlebars, and the light didn't come with shims. N …"  Read Full Review »

"I had one of the older 1/2 watt ones before and this one is way brighter. It also has a much broader beam. Though I mainly use this just to be seen, it actually puts out enough light in a broad enough beam to be used as a reasonable headlight.
