I've had it for a few months and all I can say is :tsk: I shouldn't of bought that thing.
1. Output sucks. Five 5mm LEDs connected in parallel, then connected to 4 x AA through a 10 ohm resistor. A less expensive 3.5 watt halogen light is a lot brighter.
For costing $30, I'm seeing no obvious improvement over a cheap 8 LED generic one I lost last year.
2. Over-rated lens/reflector assembly.
3. This thing is bulky.
4. Battery lasts "110 hours" before whatever point they deem to be less than usable. I really don't care. I don't ride my bike more than an hour a week, and 1/3 that at night even that much.
