MTB Batteries make replacement cells for salvaging ropey eBay lights, and that experience means their own branded lights are spot on for the money. The claimed 2,200-lumen output is more like 1,200 to 1,500, with limited distance reach, but it gives broad coverage from the front wheel upwards, with a smooth edge that’s easy on the eyes. You can order the small two-LED head with an O-ring or GoPro mount. Upcoming changes will split the three solid modes (press and hold for strobe/ flash) and on/off duties between the two rear switches so there’s no illumination interruption. Four Panasonic cells in a metal case give impressive run times that make the lack of a life indicator less troubling. The stretchy bag-battery fits most frames easily. Reliability peace of mind makes the price a bargain.
