🚦 Urban 350 Headlight by Light and Motion Review

This thing is a heck of a lot brighter than those cheap regular headlights you can get on Revain or Ebay. The strap makes it pretty easy to mount and remove the bike when I leave my bike unattended outside. If I have one criticism, it's probably the USB port. The connector is slightly recessed into the light, making it a lot harder to find a suitable micro-USB cable if you forget or lose the one that came with the flashlight. Did I tell you this thing is bright?

Over the years I've learned that cheap headlights aren't the best option, they stop working when you need them, aren't bright enough, or break easily.

I was a little worried about the fit of the elastic but it seems to be holding up well and not showing any signs of wear. Seems to last at least as long as the battery. Speaking of the battery, it's impressive how long it lasts. I'll leave it in my bag unused for two weeks and it still gets a full charge. The best part is that it charges via Micro-USB, just like my taillight…

This is my first light and movement I have ever used. I strictly followed the reviews and decided on 45 euros. Before that I used a Serfas headlight which puts out around 90 lumens. When it's on, it draws everyone's attention. I wanted to upgrade because I've found that this light is only good around town for alerting motorists to my presence. But when I did an LSD ride in Chicago, it didn't give me the leap I wanted to see the way forward. It slowed me down. Conclusion: If you only drive in…
