VERY LARGE AND MULTIPLE LIGHT MODES - AMAZING LIGHT

This is a very good flashlight that is very eye-catching because of its size (approx. 2 x 3 inches). It has many flashing modes and the super LED will blind you if you stare at it for a long time. I am using it on an electric scooter that has its own rear light but I need an extra light on the back. This is not the best option for a helmet. The best way to do this is with the Blinky self-leveller. I have one of these too. I'm also planning to add one of those white cateye lights to the front of

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Great reflector!

Not only is it bright and reflective, this reflector/light has so many flashing modes - it's fun! The only downside is that it can only be installed one way if it is mounted on the seat rails instead of the luggage rack. My bike is a custom type so the light didn't fit on the seat post (no room for it) and had to be mounted on the seat rails instead. But due to the design of the quick release mount, the light was vertical instead of horizontal. So I just cut off the two plastic ribs that were…

  • handy item
Cons
  • damaged

Good flashlight and reflector

Good flashlight and reflector, red rear light has a habit of shedding lenses and sometimes does not turn on or off when the button is pressed, absolutely no problem with white front light, . EDIT, this light got messed up, turned off a couple of times while running and now stopped working. I will try to replace it under warranty as the performance of the front light and the intended usefulness of the rear light is what I want. Holy shit, I just found out this thing has a two day return policy…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Interval

Full manual mode! suitable for lighting and reflectors

Edit above: Cateye America now sells these lamps very cheaply because they are (unfortunately) no longer made. For $10? That's half the price of Reflex Auto, which is a very imperfect light. Heck, for $10 (plus $3 shipping) I bought two more! Unlike the CatEye Reflex TL-LD570-R rear bike safety light, you have control over whether it's on or off. Don't be fooled by the Reflex Auto description which says "On/Off automatically or manually". This is utter nonsense. During cloudy, dawn, dusk, and…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • not reliable

Doesn't like bumps. I do not recommend.

I really like this flashlight as it looks and works great on the stand. When it's not on, it still acts as a very good reflector. Lots of light patterns to cover a wide range of preferences. What's keeping me from giving five stars is this: It turns off if pressed too hard. I learned this the hard way. I commute to work in the city every day. This means that roadworks and potholes are the order of the day. A certain section of my journey is very bumpy and when I check the lights, they mostly…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Cateye TL-LD560-BR(5)R

First, the Revain part number is wrong. Genuine part number: TL-LD560-R, this is the Cateye part number. To check this, go to cateye.com and click on "Safety Lights". I bought this taillight for two reasons: 1) it has a built in (very good) reflector. 2) Cateye quality and customer service. If you use the "Long Life" mode, you get up to 120 hours. use. If you use "Flash" mode, you get about 100 hours. use. If you use the "permanent" mode, you get about 30 hours. use. It has two other modes…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not bad

Not waterproof for cycling

Good, could be better. As the best and one of the very few legal light/reflector combinations, it stands out from the rest. How it? ALL bikes must have reflectors and all bikes operated after dark must have lights. Bikes have little space to transport things. Why aren't most bike lights also reflectors? However, they are not waterproof and are not advertised as such, nor are they labeled as waterproof. There is a rubber seal between the two halves of the housing. I had one for about a year, she

  • Very good value for money
