Review on Stay Visible on the Road with CAT EYE Rapid X3 USB Rechargeable LED Bike Safety Light by Aaron Ali

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Light broke due to cheap design.

Turns out this flashlight isn't even splashproof, let alone fully waterproof. The charging socket is only covered by a cheap rubber plug that stays in place. I drove in the rain, wet road dirt got in with condensation, and now the lamp is useless. Doesn't come with a permanent mount (its "optional", not included) so it can stay on the bike horizontally or vertically, just mounts to the back seat or to a frame tube that is almost never horizontal or vertical . However, the "gaze" angle seems extremely wide and that seems to help in this situation. Multiple Flash Patterns: Including the constant high intensity mode, this is an insanely bright glare, but it only lasts for 1 hour in this mode.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
