Review on 🚲 Enhanced 2022 VICTAGEN Bike Lights: LED Flashlight Powerbank for Night Riding Road Mountain - Waterproof Front and Back Cycling Lights by Joseph Hernandez

Rechargeable front light is bright enough, compact and not too heavy for the advertised 5200mAh (I haven't tested). But its light output is almost certainly not 2400 lumens; If true, then it would be similar to the home projector I have, but it isn't. However, the brightness seems to be sufficient for cycling. My main issues with this flashlight are (1) the poor design of the battery level indicator and whether it charges at all; (2) It's not "universal" in its USB-C charging design, as I'll explain below: (1) Indicator: The indicator on the lamp only works when the light is on, since there's only one button on this thing there, so you have to turn on the light to know the state of charge, which you can only detect with an accuracy of 30-100% (green), 10-30% (red) and < 10% (flashing red). So you have to charge the bulb when it hits 10% just to be sure, so the advertised capacity of 5200mah actually only changes to 4700mah (and almost certainly 20-25% lower due to all sorts of practical inefficiencies with power banks) . ). I also checked how long the light lasts from hitting the 10% blinking red dot to going out and its lifespan is only around 18 minutes so when 10% is 18 minutes. , its total lifespan is 180 minutes even at the lowest brightness setting (but no blinking). Oddly enough, by the time it hits the 10% mark (or maybe even earlier) it seems to no longer have three brightness modes and it's not immediately apparent which of the three modes it's in, but it feels on like the lowest mode. Brightness. . My understanding from the product description is that this light should give around 15 hours on the lowest setting and around 6 hours on the highest setting, but that doesn't seem to be the case. (2) This light does not work. Charge a "universal" USB-C cable. General. If you use a USB-C cable connected to a high power adapter, this flashlight will not charge at all. This is likely due to poor design that ignores the electronic markings on the cables. I no longer use USB Type-A tips and never will, and most USB-C adapters I have are 30W or more, so at the moment I don't know if this light even charges . Aside from not having an accurate battery percentage gauge, there's also no indication of whether it's getting any power at all. This combination of no display and incompatibility with all USB-C cables is quite frustrating. Another reviewer mentioned that once that light goes out, they can't charge it and turn green. I had the same issue despite charging it all night and I think the main issue is that this USB-C display doesn't always accept a USB-C charge.
