Review on ๐Ÿšด NiteRider 6780 Lumina OLED 1200 Boost - Black (One Size) by Gabriel Rosenberg

Revainrating 3 out of 5

so-so mount, reliability issues, expect better value for money

Light is good but the mount is a little wobbly. I was having trouble getting the light out of the mount until I added some shims under the arm. The plug that protects the USB port from water is very tiring to use. I suspect most users won't care (but that leaves the flashlight open to water damage). Eventually it started charging intermittently. Then it stopped loading completely. This is after I've had the light for about 2 years. So I opened the light. It turned out that one of the 90 degree solder joints between the main board and the add-on board with LED and USB connector was defective. I tried re-soldering but it wasn't enough to make everything good (so more damage probably happened). Lumina light (which I was able to fix). This light failed after about a year of ownership. I understand these products won't last forever but at this price point I'm hoping for more. I'll try my luck with cheaper brands. I'm much more willing to accept problems like this for $50 than $120.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
