Pros | Great beam distance and quality, lasts four hours in high mode | Wide even beam pattern, bright, illuminated on/off button, swivel mount | VERY bright, wide and even beam | Wide, even beam pattern, multiple blinking modes | Bright, wide and even beam pattern, illuminated on/off switch, easy on and off handle bars, good value |
Cons | Very heavy, expensive and time-consuming to install and remove | Beam could be more even/less narrow, battery life on the short side | Can get super hot, heavy, short battery life, 18-hour full charge time, requires two hands to take on and off | Minimal swivel, short battery life | Short (1.5 hour) battery life |
Bottom Line | This is your go to light for quality and distance of beam | This light is bright, swivels nicely and even has an illuminated on/off switch | This light has an extremely bright and wide beam but it does take a while to fully charge and can get hot if used for an extended period of time | Although it has a shorter battery life, it has a wide even beam with multiple blinking modes | This light not only is a great value but it has a super bright and even beam pattern |
