Very nice light.
This light is quite bright. I main reason I got it is so cars can see me better but it's quite nice to have the road illuminated on dark streets. You might want to get a bigger brighter light if you plan on riding on completely unlit streets regularly but this should do the job in most cases.
I don't know how long the batteries last, but I've used my light daily for a couple of months now and it still seems to be going strong.
Great light for price
I purchased this light over three months ago, along with one for my wife, and we have not been disappointed. Most importantly, we can be seen with this light by others. While the light is not overly bright, it is most adequate for providing essential light while riding at night. We live in Newport, RI and the roads are in very poor condition -- with this light we are able to see any potential hazards before riding over them. I have read other reviews that criticize the mounting brackets. I can only say that I had no problems mounting the lights to my Diamondback mountain bike and my wife's Diamondback mountain bike -- it took less than 10 minutes. At less than $17, I would definitely make this purchase again if I needed another light.
Happy as could be with my new headlight.
This is just what I was looking for. Another great Planet Bike product. The light output and battery life is fantastic. Since I take it off when I get to my destination, I always have a handy flashlight. The only downside is that I can't adjust the quick cam mount to get the grip on my handlebars that I would like. A quick wrap of electrical tape should cure the problem.
Great light
Fantastic product--As others have said, it's better for being seen than for seeing. That said, it is still very bright, and if it's completely dark will illuminate your path. Seems to be a high quality unit, with a very impressive mounting bracket. I've used it for a few hours total so far without replacing batteries.
It is good and makes me more safe.
The light is very bright, and it can even lighten the guidpost beside the street. It makes me feel more safe at night.
