Review on Cygolite Dash Resistant Rechargeable Headlight by Marcus Cano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very happy with lights and reflectors

This thing is no joke as a "visible" light. It's BRIGHT and very eye-catching. Pulsating flashes are 3 pulses, not a constant pulse. That way it gets noticed and stays noticed by the drivers you want to see. Anything brighter than 460 and you are bound to blind someone. If you're looking for a real headlamp for night riding, the Dash 600 might be the one for you. It is suitable as a headlamp for illuminating the road at night. This allows you to see the road ahead. But it's not the same as high beams in a car. There are bicycle lights that are a sensible substitute for the sun. It's not exactly one of them. If you drive a lot in the dark, you may need a different headlight. If you're driving at dusk or dawn, or taking short drives in the dark, it's fine. But it's not the kind of light that illuminates your way on a 20-kilometer journey in complete darkness. You will be seen as a driver day and night. So for 99% of bikers it's perfect. My need for light is to be seen more than to be seen. So I'm very happy with it. It's small. It doesn't take up much space on the steering wheel. The rubber band is fine. However, this is not the same as a rigid mount. However, the rubber strap is easily removed with a single screw on the bottom. If you have hands you can make a rigid mount to attach a lantern to. I would suggest installing a reflector. I opted for an elastic band but added a zipper. It's still loose enough that I can change the angle, but tight enough that it won't happen on its own. Also, with a zip, the light doesn't get in your hands as quickly when you step away from the bike for a minute. It can also be rotated left and right by about 20 degrees on the mount (this is just a guess). since I don't have a protractor handy, but it's enough to compensate for the tilt of the handlebars) Simply loosen the screw on the bottom that holds the strap and you can change the angle the light sits at in relation to the strap . All I've found is a very powerful light that gives you lots of mounting customization options. Update with this light in a few days. One of the biggest benefits of brightness is that I NEVER forget to turn off the lights when I get home. I don't notice my tail light all the time and leave it blinking all night, find it dead in the morning. I've never had that problem with this headlight. I might forget I'm wearing it when riding in broad daylight (because I'm behind the lights), but as soon as I ride my bike into my house, the room lights up like there's a thunderstorm in my life. Room.
