I've only had my Novatac 120E for 1 day, and I can already tell this will be the most used light I have by a mile.
The levels are great, but I'm thinking - what in the world will I ever use this emergency strobe for?? Then it donned on me..
I really enjoy biking and in-line skating, especially in the evening hours of the Spring/Summer when it gets cooler. Sometimes I can get to a bike path which is safer after dark, but many times I can only get out in my neighborhood for a quick bike or skate. The thing that always put a damper on it though was worrying about cars not seeing me and getting hit. I was always constantly looking behind me or pulling way over to the side and stopping until a car passed which is a pain.
Not anymore! I took my marvelous little 120E and clipped it to the outside of my pocket, put that sucker on emergency strobe and took off. Even when it was just starting to get dark, you could see me coming a mile away on my bike with that bright beacon! I could tell cars could see me much sooner, because I noticed them slowing down sooner and pulling way over to the side when passing me! Biking this evening was much more enjoyable knowing I could be easily seen, and wasn't at risk of being roadkill to some lazy driver not paying attention. This thing flashes so bright at just the right < 1 second intervals, it's absolutely perfect for this function.
Not only that, the strong springy steel clip keeps the light so firmly in place that I don't have to worry about it falling and losing it or busting it up.
Can you tell I'm excited about my new Novatac?!
