Review on Light Motion Ridgetop Headlight 856 0688 by Ryan Marx

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very bright, excellent strobe function

Fantastic light. The strobe feature is very aggressive and therefore effective in making sure oncoming traffic can see you. I often see oncoming cars in front of me trying to make a left turn, stopping and waiting for me to pass even if they have enough time to turn. I'm convinced that the light scares them and they give me a lot of extra space and I'm fine with that! I almost never use the brightest setting; the lowest stable setting is almost always sufficient. Easily attaches to the handlebars, holds tight and is easily removed upon arrival and stowed in your bag. The old-school Micro-USB charger needs an upgrade to USB-C, and the cover over the charging port needs to be sturdier and made of rubber rather than plastic to keep it from wearing out easily, but these are relatively minor niggles. I had an Urban 600 years ago and will still have one, but it was stolen when my bike was stolen. These are quality lamps that do their job well. Highly recommended.
