Mega 53-LED Bike Mount Light 3xAA

Pros: It's bright (in 53-LED mode) and inexpensive.

Cons: It's flimsy: the mount broke after ten days. Because it has no lens, just a cover, the light is unfocused, thus much less useful. A better design would trade LEDs for a lens, yielding as much useful light for less power. I ran through a set of batteries in less than two hours on-time in 53-LED mode. I use 10-LED mode now.

Other: I will buy a different light; I wish I had not bought this one.

Pros: This bike light has three sets of LEDs and four modes: 10 LEDs inner ring 17 LEDs middle ring 26 LEDs outer ring The first three modes lights additional rings, the fourth mode flashes all 53 LEDs. With a fresh set of three Akaline AA cells the light consumes: 10 LEDs 175mA 27 LEDs 550mA 53 LEDs 880mA With mid-quality NiMH cells I measured 10 LEDs 155mA 27 LEDs 420mA 53 LEDs 670mA The battery voltage and current sagged quickly in the all-LEDs-on mode. A significant advantage is that this light uses lower-cost AA cells instead of AAA cells. And with this current draw you'll be concerned about capacity and cost. The light is visually interesting, with a dramatic array of LEDs on a 55mm diameter mirror background. The array is easily seen through the flat clear plastic lens on the front. The handlebar clamp is 1"/25mm nominal, with a clamping range of about 3mm -- not enough for a larger or smaller bar.

Cons: In 53 LED mode the high current caused the batteries I was using to drop in voltage pretty quickly, reducing the current. The batteries would likely last noticably less than 2 hours -- pretty much unacceptable for most users.

Other: If you consider power-hungry 53 LED mode reserved for occasional use, or like the look of a large array of LEDs, this is the light for you. Otherwise a smaller, lighter model should be considered.

Pros: very strong light comfortable to use Flashlight is not heavy,simple operation the light is unfocused

Cons: Base of the flashlight is weak and not catches good the bayonet of the bicycle,Is recommended to use with charging batteries

Other: Very content worthwhile to buy !!!

Pros: It is Bright, and relatively cheap.

Cons: There's not much difference in what you can see between 23 and 56 led modes. Next time I would just get a 23 light model. The mounting bracket isn't strong, and the screws within the light rattle loose quickly on a short ride. The design of the light means that it is forward heavy, with the bracket only able to be tightened by thumb control, it has the tendency to continually slip forward. I don't really need to light up the ground that I am riding over.

Other: Get a smaller model, the extra LED's aren't worth the extra bulk

Pros: It is a great light. Modes cover all needs for night cycling. Batteries are easy to procure. A lot of light for the price.

Cons: The mount broke on the first trip. The screws only just grip. Battery life on high is disappointing. Consider using rechargeable.

Other: Make sure you have the means to upgrade the mount and adjust the balance point before you take this to the road. The modes are well suited for low on a well lit street, medium on unlit sealed road and high where you need to ride on unsealed track. The price is good but you need to factor the repair. I had to mark dow the rating somewhat because I don't feel many users will have access to workshop to make repairs need for continued use.

Pros: feels quite solid, easy to disassemble if needed hidden sos mode (press button until starts to blink) uses aa-batteries

Cons: weak mount
mount too far from point of gravity

Other: with little tuning good bike light for the money.

Pros: The beam is graet, makes your night ride a day one.

Cons: Too heavy. the whole pice of equipment make it difficult to place on the handle bar, that and the weak mount make it a bit tricky to use

Other: Over all, a great light

Pros: Very bright, excellent visibility on the road - looks really good, thick and bright, impossible not to notice on the road. Works from 3 AAs, which is very good, cause you'll need a lot. This is not a con, because so many LEDs take a lot of energy, and if you want to conserve - just run the lowest mode. It's still fairly bright and very usable on lighted roads.

Cons: Bracket might be a little weak for the sise, balance is wrong - it's top-heavy, so it might slip forwards, and I'm afraid to overtighten it. Not that bad though, we'll see how it holds up. Soldering is bad, one LED did not work, so I opened it (very easy to disassemble) and I'll just have to put a bit of solder - at least one LED was loose, maybe more.

Other: I believe it's a good buy overall.

Pros: Great light,super duper bright.
Last very long,contains 4 modes of light (to save battery light and such) and also flashing mode. Overall not that bad,very good design too. Can see far distant around 100m~ woo hoo~

Cons: Mine didnt come with the screw and nut...what the h***...was annoyed at 1st...and i looked around for other replacement for the nut and screw..but used a larger nut...but it isn't good to do that. Should have came with the screw and nuts.

Other: Get it guys...if you like to upgrade your bike a little. :)

Pros: Impressed by the value its possible to get for the price of this light. I personally like the possibility to regulate (three steps) the number of LEDS actually being used - from "to be seen" to "illuminate the road".

Cons: Build quality is not impressive, but for the price of this light, I guess you cannot expect better quality? - Bicycling on even roads may not represent any problem, but out in the terrain or on the bumpy tracks and roads on off-road bikes may break the handlebar fastener.
I do not like the forth "blinking" step - the blinking is too slow, only confusing those who see the light.

Other: Very good!
