Review on VICTAGEN Bike Light Front Back: 2022 Upgraded LED Bike Headlight with 10 Modes - Super Bright, Rechargeable, Powerbank, Safety Bicycle Lights for Night Riding Road MTB by William Anacker

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The button stuck for the first 24 hours.

ETA: Within 24 hours one of the knobs got stuck in the ON position rendering this display unusable. After sending it back and due to other issues, I probably won't order it again. So first, let me say that this light is actually pretty bright. And it has some cool features. In addition to high, medium and low brightness, it has two flash options for daytime use. And this is where my frustration begins. The two strobe options are very bright and very fast (reminder: the disco lasted until 11) and the SOS signal (reminder: Morse code), which can save you if you fall off your bike on a supposed desert island. Trust me, I like a good strobe light to annoy...er...warn drivers. But the risk of a strobe-induced epileptic seizure seems exaggerated. And probably the WORST feature of this light is the ability to disable the wireless bike computer. It bothers my Cateye Padrone as I suspect it lacks good protection. This leaves me with a choice: have my computer (think: speedometer, odometer, speed data, trip data, etc.) OR have a headlight (think: well, see in the dark). Full FWP I know. But that wasn't what I expected. It broke the deal for me. YMMV.
