This is a serious bike light. The photos don’t begin to show just how bright this light is on high. I have not had a chance to ride with itat night but just using it to light up my backyard it is hard to believe the amount of light this tiny unit can produce. I use it primarily for the beacon (flashing mode ) on day rides on public roads. The flash can be seen for a great distance on the sunniest days!The quality of the components appears to be high and at first i felt like the remote was unnecessary but the large buttons are easy to use in place of the small buttons on the light so it’s a nice addition to the light.Just a note:The manual is very hard to understand and it was not easy to put this light into the flash mode. Basically you have to push the (+) button twice in succession and then twice in succession again in order to enable the beacon or flashing mode.Very happy with this purchase.I would recommend this light to my friends.
