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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The USB-C connector supports very few chargers

I was happy to see that the old microUSB connector was gradually replaced by a Type-C connector on bike lights. Unfortunately, the implementation on this device is pretty broken and only accepts a few precious chargers. Some of these worked for me: - Old Pixel charger (GL0102) - Type A charger with Type A -> C cable. They didn't work: - Type C charger included with iPad Pro - Type C charger included with Oculus Quest Included - Ravpower 90W Type C Dual Port - Type C for Surface Pro X - Many other random Type C chargers I've tried. It should be noted that this is not normal. Most devices with a Type-C port will accept any charger, but this light only speaks to a few, pretty much negating the benefits of Type-C. Probably best to avoid until the manufacturer sorts it out.
