I've been looking for an affordable and powerful all in one light for a while, this seems to be a good balance, not quite as bright as I'd like but bright enough for road riding, will take a little getting used to all the modes. However after trying every other USB-C cable I have and wondering why there was no charge indication, I decided to use the included cable (and had to find an OLD USB-A charger block) and it does show the bars building up when charging... but really if it's going to be a USB-C connector it should charge with any modern USB-C charger (that has sufficient output)
Due to the size, weight and advertised lumens of this light (and with Extreme lights logo on it, I expected a little more performance in terms of brightness and battery life.
Appears there are better and cheaper options on Takealot and Temu for lights operating with only 18650 internal batteries (not 4 cell battery pack).
The light itself works good for the moment...only used it twice now. The attachment for the handlebar is not so good. The first day was a disaster, but I fitted a proper mechanical bracket..
....the idea of a rubber strap to hold it down is not practical......it moves all over as you cycle.....I have fitted a proper clampdown bracket as used on the Trans Baviaans light. It worked wonders this morning...
thanks

Great flexibility in settings and even better with the various battery charge level display. Yet to use the power pack but so far very happy
One cannot underestimate the importance of a decent light for one's helmet when riding singletrack at night. One ride in and so far, thoroughly impressed. Light at full brightness for descents and 20% for pedalling about and was only on half battery after a ~2h ride :) Somme bought another to suppliment existing bar light too!
