Weak USB design. for lights and reflectors

I broke two of these trying to install. The USB connector is weak and unscrews when trying to remove the light from the bike. It happened twice and I never really put it on the road. Poor design in my opinion and a waste of two purchases.

Pros
  • cycling
Cons
  • minor repair

Great light! - Sport

After reading some reviews I thought about buying this flashlight. But since it's made in the USA, I decided to buy it. Couldn't be happier with it. Its brightness and light movements are very effective. As with anything, if you can handle the light the USB tab will most likely break, but it's solid and lasted over 8 hours on my rides. I drive about 6 hours a week and have only charged once in 3 weeks since installing. Great American product.

Pros
  • Headlights and Reflectors
Cons
  • Protection

Garbage. Heed the advice of bad reviews.

There is another review of this flashlight that mentions that the USB charging port is delicate. IT IS, and it broke off, so the light is useless. In order to charge the light, you must remove it from the mounting piece that holds the light under the saddle or seatpost. You remove the light by rotating it to the locked and unlocked position in the mounting bracket. When rotating, the USB connector is heavily loaded and therefore breaks. The USB port should at least be provided with a protective

Small and bright but easily lost when off

I bought a Vya taillight to replace the one that was part of the Commuter combo. Overall I think this is a great lamp and I wouldn't have ordered a replacement if it wasn't the case. I've learned the hard way that if the flashlight is left in the holder in the off state, there's nothing to protect it. The light is only protected when inserted and rotated 90 degrees, which also turns it on. Do not leave the flashlight in the holder when it is switched off. This is the only reason I rated it 4/5โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Taillights
Cons
  • No instructions

Lots of design flaws and a fragile USB connector

The main complaints about the cheap and fragile USB connector. Already chipped. It also gets stuck in the lamp holder and is difficult to turn a quarter turn to activate. Another annoying issue is that it keeps blinking - almost every time you move, even when you start charging (rather bright and annoying when you're trying to charge it on your laptop) for a good thirty seconds. I would not buy again. Update: This product is broken: The USB insert (cheap board) just broke. Now it's completelyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sports and Recreation
Cons
  • Nothing here
