Review on 🚲 Wastou Super Bright Bike Front Light - 1200 Lumen, IPX6 Waterproof, 6 Modes Cycling Flashlight Torch with USB Rechargeable Tail Light (USB Cable Included) by Michael Gilmartin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

First impression good for cycling

The flashlight came uncharged and took about 3 hours to charge. It seems really bright compared to what I have, a 300 lumen tactical light mounted on a handlebar, but I can't confirm that it's 4x brighter at 1200. The handlebar mount is strong and secure. The battery indicator feature is useful so I know how much charge is left and this is particularly useful. I don't want to drive after dark and the battery is dead. Haven't taken it to the road yet but will update as soon as I do. The design and the product itself appear to be well made. Road test update: bright in total darkness, so no complaints. However, the device I received has a fatal error. The battery is self-discharging. I rode with full lights on for about 20 minutes on Monday. When I turned it off it had over 75% battery. Go to shoot it on Wednesday; completely dead. At first I thought I was doing something wrong. So I fully charged the battery on Wednesday. Haven't used it at all. Friday night I turn it on, a blinking battery light and by Saturday it's completely dead. I drive a lot in the dark weather permitting and I can't have an unreliable product, especially when it's so important to safety. Needless to say, return it
