🚴 Planet Bike Beamer 3 Bicycle Headlight with Bright White LED, Compact Size: 4" x 1.25" x 1.5 Review

In urban environment, this is VERY effective in strobe mode to catch…

The comparison between Beamer 5 White LED and Beamer 3 White LED is excellent. The light quality of 5 LEDs is quite white, 3 LEDs have a bluish cast. Both look very bright, but compared to the brightness of the light emitted, they don't provide enough illumination of the road as one might expect. The 5 LED seems to have a longer stroke. In contrast to other posts, I think the brackets are well thought out. Both the strap and the cam closure can be adjusted. Out of the box, the mounts were too…
