Pros- its effectively 2 lights in one. Has 2 seperate LED strips contolled by seperate buttons. So you can have different light combinations. I tend to have one side still and the other flashing or pulsating (best of both)- lots of different lighting modes- easy to mount- extremely bright! Most of my riding is at night and im the noticing cars comin up behind me are slowing down and giving me a wide berth when overtaking. something im not used to and makes me feel much safer on the roads.- Goes into power save mode when the battery is low which lasts upto 30 hours.Cons- The mount is not a mount but a tough rubber band which wraps around the frame and attaches to the light.

So I've only had this unit for a day, and initial impressions are that for the size, it emits a serious amount of light - impressively so, however the 2x immediate cons for me are that the mounting system doesn't seem particularly hard wearing.It essentially consists of a large O ring that wraps around whatever tube you mount it to and clips onto either side of the light - the light itself has a rubber base which attaches to the light with a series of holes in the base where small "pegs" from the light mount into which is designed so that the bike doesn't get scratched ... The trouble with this is when you take the light off the bike you have to take both the O ring and the light with you.The

I give it 5 stars because I can't fault this lamp for what it is: an overpriced and overperforming rear light. I wanted the best, but frankly I realized this is too much even for my quite high expectations. This is literally 2 lights in the same housing (you can independently operate the two) and just having the half of it would be totally sufficient for all practical purposes. I can only see the need for such a light if you bike a lot in fog and rain. This is practically a daytime fog rear light for bicycles. The brightness is similar to brake light on cars. In clear weather the strongest setting is way to bright for night and more then bright enough for daytime.

This is super bright. So much so that I don't have it on full unless using during the day.I like the versatility of being able to control the left and right LEDs independantly, allowing for both a fixed and flashing light coming from the one unit.I would've given five stars had it not been for the poor mounting method of just a rubber band. Other manufacturers also do this and they would've been equally marked down had I been reviewing one of their products. This type of mount may be acceptable for budget lights but not as they go up in price.

Expensive but well made USB rechargeable rear light. I purchased this to on the back of my recumbentvtrike with the rubber adapter it fits with the o ring to the tube on my pannier rack thinking of buying snouther it's that good not been happy with cat eye rear light quality before but this has made me think again I have a dynamo rear light and this is a great 2nd light for me works well in daylight too which is what I wanted

This is a greatt light for the back of a bike. It's nice looking and has a lot of different lighting patterns to choose from. If required it can also be used on a seeing designed for use in the daytime, when on this setting it is incredibly bright, at night it would be blinding from behind! I'm glad I paid a little extra to get this light.

It secures to the frame with rubber bands, I got 4 different sizes, could be a bit better.I'd recommend putting it on flashing during the day / dusk, then putting it on constant mode for night.Charging via USB type C would be nice too.

When i have this on i feel save in the knowledge that i am being seen from the rear. The battery life is amazing and charging time short.

A really excellent rear light - very bright, plenty of options, long battery life and quick to charge up. Very happy with performance.

Bright Light with variable sequences. Rechargeable unit so battery cannot be removed therefore it is properly water sealed.

One of the best rear lights although like many (despite the claims) is not fully waterproof.
