 Best light for the priceSep 16, 2008
I've used these lights for commuting for several years now. I did have a fancy nite-rider halogen before this one, and the Super Spot lasts much longer on a set of batteries, is lighter, and more reliable. It attaches well to the handle bar, and the light is easy to remove when needed. I did have the light come off once on a VERY deeply pot-holed road and it burst into a bunch of separate pieces. I stopped, gathered up all the pieces, snapped them back together and the damn thing worked fine again. I've taken to using 4 NiMH rechargeables instead of alkalines and it works fine. While it doesn't claim to be water proof, nor does it look water proof, it has seen many a rain storm and continues to work fine. With the batteries charged, I've found the light to be sufficient for tooting along on unlight roads at 15 MPH or so. I wouldn't want to go charging downhill on an unfamiliar road with it, for that you'll need to apply the Seoul Semiconductor mods given above.

 Nothing special, can't recommend itApr 23, 2008
The light is bright, but the beam has an odd pattern of vertical stripes that makes it hard to see anything. The bracket is too small for the handle bars on my road bike (about 32mm).

Great light for the priceApr 19, 2008
I bought this light for my kid's bike. It was easy to install and provides great visibility to car drivers even on well lit residential streets. If the street is not well lit, the light is barely adequate for riding at night, but it will get the kid home.
The only negative is the switch. The switch is very difficult to operate. You have to get a firm grip on the light and press hard with the finger nail to switch it on. my kid has less difficulty with this than I do since his fingers are smaller.
Over all it is a great value!

Nice, bright front light, but doesn't blinkApr 14, 2008
This front light is bright, provides a great field of vision at night, and is a nice value. My major problem with it is that it doesn't blink. Enhancing motorist's ability to see you from both the front and the back is important. I've been hit twice during the day by people left turning into me when they clearly didn't see me from the front. A back blinker doesn't help here, and a front white light that doesn't blink doesn't help much either. If you do a lot of road riding and you use this front light, you should also invest in another front light that blinks for daytime riding (Planet Bike Superflash Blaze is EXCELLENT and can mount on your front fork). Also, if your drop down handle bars have a large diameter on top, as many of the new handlebars do, this light's mount won't fit around your handle bars.

Good, bright cycling lightMar 09, 2008
I'm a commuter cyclist who finds himself traveling after dark frequently, and I have found this light to be well suited to my needs. It is compact and light weight, easily mounted, and surprisingly bright (although not quite bright enough if you plan on biking in an area where it would be the only source of light). I mainly bike on roads and a lighted bike path, and for these purposes, it gives me more than enough light to make cars aware of me with a very long battery life. One caveat though is that if you need a light to see where you're going or are biking in an unlighted area, a brighter light would probably be necessary.
