does not stay in bracket

the tab to click and hold the light in the bracket is too small. hit a bump and lost the light. There should be a larger tab that snaps securely into place. The light itself works fine, but it doesn't

Pros

Cons
  • only available in white

Too fiddly Best in Taillights

When this light is on, it's bright and powerful. The problem is that it's incredibly difficult to make it glow. Oftentimes, pressing the power button has no effect at all. It usually takes a few tries before the cumbersome button is pressed properly. Despite this, it is completely impossible to predict which setting will be activated. I've learned to ignore I'll settle for any brightness level or blink pattern just to get this dumb thing to work when I need it.

Pros
  • Taillights
Cons
  • There are bugs

The USB-C connector supports very few chargers

I was happy to see that the old microUSB connector was gradually replaced by a Type-C connector on bike lights.

Good, but a downgrade from previous models.

This is the fifth or sixth Serfas I have used. Several Scorpius 100, Spectra 150 and now two of them. - The USB-C charging port is a nice upgrade. - No "light sensitivity" mode to accidentally get stuck in (it was personally annoying) - Light is higher than previous models, making it difficult to fit under a saddlebag. The power button is disappointing. It's almost flush with the body, making it difficult to detect by touch; It's also on top, so if it's mounted directly under the saddlebag…

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • Expensive
