" ... No fogging, no condensation, battery life great. ... "

" ... The light was smaller than i thought but with a nice battery pack. ... "

" ... Battery lasts 4.5 hours highest setting without losing brightness at all. ... "

" ... Its very bright, has many options (brightness, flashing, etc) and i like how the battery pack is small enough to be secured easily near my handlebars with the velcro. ... "

" ... This light is super strong, like a lighthouse and when fully charged lasts more hours than I need at max brightness setting. ... "

" ... I would recommend this light to anyone that rides in the evening that needs bright light with a long battery life. ... The price vs. the lumen output is great, you'll pay a lot more for lights with an internal battery with less lumen output compared to the Bright Eyes system where you mount the led on your handle bars and the charging system on your tube. ... "

" ... The light is built very well, it’s super bright and the battery life is pretty good! ... "

" ... The Cygolite is rated at 800 lumens and has a separate battery like the Bright Eyes light. ... The battery pack is small and comes in a cordura type material pouch. ... Battery life is excellent. ... As this uses a lithium battery I expect this performance to deminish over time. ... "

" ... Charges relatively quickly. ... "

" ... It is easy to charge and I have even forgotten to charge it for a few days before the power button turned red to let me know the batteries were low. ... "

" ... Nice quality but the charge goes down even when not used. ... I’ve charged it three full times and used it 10 minuets each time, it was still fully charged each time when I turned it off but several days later when I wanted to use it it was completely dead. ... "

" ... Fully charge the battery overnight and mounted it to my bike. ... "

" ... Works well charged up and turned on. ... "

" ... I got the unit a little over a week ago, so I don't know how long the battery lasts between charges, but so far it's been great! ... "

" ... My charger broke a few weeks ago and they replaced it promptly, no questions asked. ... "

" ... Not sure how many charges I can get out of it before the pack will die, but it has a long battery life and projects a wide flood light beam. ... "

" ... I highly recommend this durable, well-made bicycle light. ... "

" ... I purchased this light and the Serfas E-Lume 1500 Aluminum Body Headlight to compare them. ... "

" ... I would have liked a bike helmet mount, but overall very pleased. ... "

" ... My daughter has wrecked at least once with her lights mounted and they have held up fine. ... I took a pretty good tumble this weekend and everything remained mounted securely. ... "

" ... Mounts solid to the bike. ... "

" ... This is a great lamp that attaches securely and works well. ... "

" ... The rubber strap mount holds solid but allows quick re aiming. ... "

" ... I also bought the GoPro style mount so I can move it easily from bike to helmet. ... "

" ... The helmet mount is easy to take on and off once set up. ... "

" ... Centerline being where the bars are mounted to the steering stem/gooseneck. ... "

" ... We do a lot of early morning riding well before sunup and other bike lights we have tried do not compare to the Bright Eyes headlight. ... "

" ... Don from Bright Eyes provides the best service. ... "

" ... Neither of those items are on the Bright Eyes. ... "

" ... I have used it 4 times already and it works perfectly, and lasts a long time. ... "

" ... This is based off of 3 months of weekly usage. ... "

" ... All for half the price of the last headlight that I bought that didn't last half as long. ... "

" ... Will update if I have any issues. ... "

" ... I can compare it to a Cygolite Turbo that I’ve used for a couple of years. ... "

" ... I have used it several times now and it lasts the entire time I need it (up to 1.5 hours so far). ... I'm curious to see how long it lasts and what happens when it starts to get low on juice, but so far it has outlasted me. ... "

" ... I hope it is durable and is reliable. ... "

Lens

+87%

-13%

" ... The diffuser lens really improves the beam. ... "

" ... I put the diffuser lens on and attached the battery to the frame and was riding safely at night in no time. ... "

" ... I've been using the diffuser lens to create a bright flood of light for mountain biking trails at night. ... "

" ... The diffuser lens is amazing. ... "

" ... (I then realized it comes with a diffuser lens - in the zip-lock bag - which you can ad in to make the beam wider.) ... "

" ... I inserted the lense that makes the light pattern spread out, which works unbelievably well. ... "

" ... Easy to install, tough enough to withstand lots of crashing on the trail, and the added wide-beam lens really helps. ... "

" ... The light by default comes in spot light configuration but the lenses can be swapped out fairly easily with a diffuser lense that’s included. ... "

Band

+70%

-30%

" ... He also offered to send me some replacement bands for free just for buying the product. ... "

" ... Very usefull bands, works great . ... "

" ... This light really needs buckles on the straps so that the light remains securely in place. ... "

" ... The mounting straps are secure but they can spin on the tube. ... "

" ... I think I would prefer a clamp-type mounting system rather than the rubber bands just for the sense of security but the rubber bands do seem to do the job for my urban commute. ... "

" ... I strap one to my helmet an one to my handlebars. ... "

" ... The battery is very well designed and is easy to strap into place and it stays put. ... "

" ... The light also comes with head band and doubles as a head lamp. ... "

Cables

+59%

-41%

" ... The extension cord was a thoughtful and very useful addition, since I don't need it for a handlebar mount but must have it for a helmet mount. ... "

" ... I also love the extra long cable for charging the battery so I can recharge it without having to remove the battery from my bike. ... "

" ... I"m also very happy with the extension chord. ... "

" ... With a couple zip ties, I was able to mount it solidly and the power cord was long enough to put the battery in my Camelback. ... "

" ... especially with the extended cable. ... "

" ... It is pretty easy to install, but you do need cable ties to properly tie down the various wires so that they don't interfere with the bike operation. ... "

" ... Also like the fact that you can leave the battery attached to the bike and simply attach the charging cable. ... "

" ... Additional strips of Velcro is also supplied to help securing the light cable to the frame. ... "

" ... You can put them on your bars or on your helmet. ... "

" ... This light holds up against any ive ever riden with. ... "

" ... Easy to use and I use it more for a head lamp than a bike light. ... "

" ... The light also comes with head band and doubles as a head lamp. ... "

" ... The battery is very well designed and is easy to strap into place and it stays put. ... "
