Review on Improved MEILAN X5 Smart Bike Tail Light: Turn Signals, Automatic Brake Light, Wireless Remote Control, USB Rechargeable – Enhancing Safety on Any Road Bicycle by Adam Huper

Just received it and have ridden it 2 times so far, will update this review in the long run but for now: Electronics: Everything works as advertised. no battery issues, range is decent, lights are bright and noticeable (a good thing on the road), lasers are visible in daylight but especially bright after dark. The automatic brake light works, the sensitivity is so-so, but it is valid at every quick stop. will work. Hardware: I have to deduct a star here - everything works, but everything wobbles. the bike light is all plastic, what i thought were the radiators below is just an artistic expression. The mounting kits (they have 2, one connects to the seatpost, the other connects directly to the seatstays) are made out of thin plastic and all the screws provided are PHILIPS. For something sturdy, small and difficult to access, this company has chosen to use Philips bolts rather than standard bike hex bolts, meaning not only is it difficult to reach and easy to remove, but the nut is on the other side is even smaller and even easier to lose. The main flashlight is attached to the bracket with a small detent no more than 1mm thick - as this flashlight only has a 2000mah battery capacity and no charge level indicator, you will need to charge it fairly often (II guess at least once a week - I drive often) and constantly stress this 1mm piece of plastic. Of course, everything will be fine for the first week, but I doubt the durability of the entire installation. It's a great looking light and from a distance it looks like a class A product. But on closer inspection you'll realize you got what you paid for. At over $30, this is a complex kit that only economical (poor) solutions and Chinese "ingenuity" will let down. It will work now but I will be back in a year IF this thing fails.
