Review on ๐Ÿผ LEZYNE Strip Drive Alert Bicycle Taillight: High Visibility, USB Rechargeable, Waterproof, 150-300 Lumens by Shawn Quick

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Updated Review - Lights and Reflectors

Updated Review: I leave my original review below. I contacted the manufacturer and they replaced the defective unit. I had to wait about a month as they said they were out of stock. As this happened during the pandemic I will not blame them for the delay. The replacement device works perfectly. The only problem I had is that it lasts about 3 hours at most (in flash mode). I will change my star rating to 3 stars. However, I was hoping for more from Lezyne's high-end flashlight, which costs over $50. Also, don't buy this light if your seatpost isn't aerodynamic. It just doesn't work well on round seatposts. First review: I bought it on December 30th - the first big mistake as the middle of winter is not the best time to buy a bike light that you cannot check in time. To return. It bit my butt pretty hard. I have used this light 6 or 8 times (road bike) for 1 to 1.5 hour long rides. Well within advertised battery limits. And I made sure the flashlight was FULLY charged. The battery in this thing is just junk. It won't survive a 1.5 hour drive even when set to intermittent flashing. A buddy of mine has cheap Chinese LEDs (from Revain) and at least they last for the trip. Hopefully Lezyne will honor this item's warranty. To be honest, for over $50 I think I have the right to expect better quality. Anyway I think this light is dangerous as you think you are visible on the road only to find out the battery is dead 40 minutes after driving. .

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Don't remember
