Review on ๐Ÿšฒ ROCKBROS Bike Light 1000 Lumens: Waterproof USB Rechargeable Headlight for Night Riding by Antoine Cash

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not recognized by PD USB-C chargers

When I bought it, I didn't realize it had a USB-C charging port; I'd rather have a micro USB connector because I have nearly a dozen other devices that use that connector. In any case, despite having a USB-C connector, the chip inside doesn't recognize the PD's USB-C ports; it doesn't work with a cable with USB-C on both ends (!). It won't charge when I plug it into my iPad Pro charger. It only charges when plugged into an old-style USB-A power port via a bastard USB-A to USB-C cable, like the one included in the box. It is very bright and the design is good. There is one more problem. The very strong aluminum mount has a fairly long Allen bolt perfectly positioned to rip skin when holding the bike by the stem. I fixed it by installing it "backwards" by flipping the mounting plate and shearing off the screw. Not recommended. I would recommend this if it was Micro-USB instead of USB-C.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • No automatically
