Best bike light ever.

Post by oldbandnerd »

Found on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Zoomable-Flashlig ... bike+light" target="_blank

What makes this inexpensive light so great is :
1. Very cheap
2. Very bright
3. Batteries last a decent amount of time
4. The mount works really well and doesn't require any tools
5. The light can be removed easily and used as a flashlight. This is great if you're out camping. It pulls double duty.
6. It has a focusable beam. Maybe not a necessity but has lots of cool factor to it.
7. It's sealed so it has a lot of "water resistance" to it. I know mine have been left out in a pouring rain and it still works
8. 3 modes- Super bright, 1/2 bright and blinky . The 3rd one is incase you need to signal in the dark .... or you just want to annoy someone

I've had 3 of those really expensive ones that you buy at the bike shops . I lost 2 and had one stolen. This for the price and performance is better by far in all categories. If it gets stolen I'm not gonna get pissed about it .

Still the best bike light ever for the money only now it's a little cheaper .

Ebay listing : http://www.amazon.com/CREE-Q5-Flashligh ... flashlight" target="_blank

The bracket that holds it on is crappy and will eventually fall apart . I bought some of these to take the place of those :

These little cree flashlights are unbelievably bright and don't eat up batteries as bad as others do. We use them when we go camping because it can be easily taken off the bike and carried around with you.

It looks like it could bolt onto my shotgun too!!

Nite Ize makes some of the best gadgety stuff. I've been using their flashlight holster for my work flashlight for about 9 years now. They last about 4 years and then the side elastic wears out . I'm on my third one now.

Here's the Nite Ize website for anyone who cares to take a look.
