Review on UltrAspire Lumen Waist Light Belt, Lightweight, Water Resistant by Victor Houser

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works great if you have a flat stomach. if not then---

I also own an UltraAspire Lumen 600 which is an amazing belt light. But the 600 is slightly heavier than the 200. The 200's light beam has good spread and is quite bright at the maximum setting. I've found that at the brightest setting the light provides excellent contrast with the ground in front of you, even if you have bright car headlights on your face. I use it on the lowest white light setting or even the red light setting to maintain my night vision and I get over 20 hours of battery life on a single charge. The 200 is lightweight and is great for taking with you when you travel and run very early in the morning or late at night. The downside is that most of the time this light is aimed right in front of your feet, unless you have a completely flat stomach - assuming many of us do. You can't adjust it to aim further down your path. A solution I've come up with is to just wear it backwards and it all works fine. However, be aware that due to the way the flashlight body is constructed, if you adjust the light to shine further in front of you, you will get some light into your eyes and it can be distracting. And of course, the power button is on the bottom, which will take some getting used to. Even though the 600 is heavier and more expensive, I'd still recommend saving up and buying it over the 200 because it's just better engineered.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • I have some quirks
