Great product!

I've only used the light twice and in dry weather but it worked great. The mount is great. I simply put it on the back of my Topeak bag.

The quality and range is great.

I had reservations when I received if it was bright enough. But after using it a couple times it works great!

I certainly recommend.

Fantastic bright light can be seen from many angles, very long battery life - 1 small issue

The light is great quality. It is bright, easy to use settings, lasts a long time, and can be seen from many angles. I used several other brands of cheap lights before this one and they weren't good. This light is typical Fenix quality LED and functionality.

The issue I have is the plastic clip. When you order this light, it comes with 2 mounting options. One is the tube mount, which works fine. The other is a convenient plastic clip.

Unfortunately, the plastic clip is not great. It isn't strong, so the light can easily slip off a strap (which it has done several times for me). And, although it hasn't happened yet because I have been extra careful, it is delicate. The clip can easily break.

The clip is definitely not typical high quality Fenix engineering. I wish they had a stronger clip or a metal one that many other Fenix lights have. I would even buy it as an accessory if the had it.

This is a bike light, but it has many good use cases. It is great for attaching to things like a backpack for visibility, etc.

Poor mount

The plastic mount doesn’t have any sort of locking mechanism. After a few kilometers my light was gone, so didn’t last even one trip.

The light comes with a rubber mount that attaches it to the post.

Great for my dog's leash and my everyday backpack. Long lasting and very visible.

Good light, bad mount.

Great light but the mounting strap is not good. When I’m cold or wet or locking up my bike in the dark, the mounting strap is remarkably finicky and unnecessarily time consuming, and ultimately it broke. If you live in a place where you need to take off your light at every stop I would pass on this product.
