cheap price, really cheap parts, poor design

I had to return this product the same day I received it from Amazon. When I opened the product to insert the battery, the lighting set literally fell apart in my hands. And I was careful. In my disbelief I examined it further and all the new pieces fell apart. The very small and cheap plastic piece holding the bulb fell apart next, the tiny metal and precariously soldered piece holding the circuitry just stopped doing what it was designed to do. And all this in 10 minutes without packaging. God

Pros
  • Trial for one year
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Does not work well with rechargeable batteries.

We use Ni-MH batteries but the headlight doesn't work well with them. The batteries fit inside the case, but the top plastic cover has two tabs to secure the batteries; It is designed for disposable alkaline batteries. I had to shave the case to make room for the slightly larger batteries. The flashlight itself is pretty good though and seems to hold up pretty well to abuse. In my urban, well-lit area, there are enough LEDs to see and be seen, allowing me to get a lot of value out of a singleโ€ฆ

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Some little things

Sufficient Inexpensive light

This product provides enough light for night driving on fairly wide trails. On tight off-road trails, the jet isn't powerful enough in my opinion. I haven't used it in normal street situations because I've ridden off-road my whole life. I've seen other reviews about the difficulty in inserting the batteries due to the awkward way of opening the case. I kept this information in mind when I first used my lamp and really had no problems. The problem of the taillight falling apart over bumps wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Crumpled

Excellent brightness for the price of

I bought this light because I wanted something really bright. The Xeon lamp sounded good. I live in a very rural area ie. We have no street lights, solid dirt roads. This light has 4 modes. Bright Xeon, Dark Xeon, Steady LED and Blinking LED. Even on my black dirt roads, the LED mode is almost always bright enough to negotiate potholes and other bumps. While this is my first time driving on the road in daylight or with the Xeon bright mode to make sure nothing serious happens, I have no problem

Pros
  • . Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Fading

Works well - Excellent value for money

Item arrived quickly. It was a gift purchase - there are two other sets available. The headlight has four settings: a brighter bulb and a dimmer bulb, as well as two settings for two LEDs, one lit steadily and the other flashing. The bright bulb provides good illumination when driving at night, but should not be confused with one of those expensive headlights that light up the road. The batteries are 4 AA and they last about an hour on the brightest setting with rechargeable ones and then theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • So so

Great value for money, best in sport

For the price this light is hard to beat. Over the years I've used about twenty different bike lights from brands like Cateye, Cygolite and Planet Bike. While some were significantly better than the Bell, they were also three to ten times more expensive. If you don't mind the bulk of four AA batteries on your handlebars and have less than twenty bucks to spare, the Bell Night Trail Bike Light is the way to go. The real downside to case batteries is the danger they create. when the body isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Legacy
