Review on ๐Ÿ’ก Enhanced Visibility with Serfas Vulcan 130 Lumens Tail Light - TSV-130 by Rob Jimenez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good, but a downgrade from previous models.

This is the fifth or sixth Serfas I have used. Several Scorpius 100, Spectra 150 and now two of them. - The USB-C charging port is a nice upgrade. - No "light sensitivity" mode to accidentally get stuck in (it was personally annoying) - Light is higher than previous models, making it difficult to fit under a saddlebag. The power button is disappointing. It's almost flush with the body, making it difficult to detect by touch; It's also on top, so if it's mounted directly under the saddlebag, it's not easy to get to. There is almost no tactile feedback when pressing a button. The Spectra 150's button was located on the back of the flashlight and produced a pleasant click, making it easy to find and press even when wearing gloves. Battery life seems to be less than previous models, but the very noticeable blue "Low" battery indicator is great feedback to remind you to charge your battery. Overall, this is a good indicator, but the power button is very annoying. My personal recommendation is to find the Spectra 150 on eBay.
