Pros: Light is fantastic on the road, comparable products were 100.00 more and not as bright. Was charged from package which was nice.Lights things up very well, good spread.
Cons: No directions. Took a second or two to figure attaching to handlebars but figured it out, kind of simple actually but would have been nice to have directions or photos.
Other Thoughts: Only took 5 days to receive once it was shipped (2 days). Great service
Bottomline: Highly recommended and may get another down the road. If you are looking for a night rider light, this would be the one. At 900 lumen, can't be beat.
Excellent bike light for the price

Pros: This thing is so bright it trippled my IQ! and that's no easy feat.
I thought I'd mount it on my helmet, but went for a ride with it on the handlebars. The spread of light is excellent with a nice bright spot in the middle. Went for a mountain bike ride on a small track in pitch black and had no worries about seeing where I was going.
Cons: No proper velcro strap to mount the battery if your bike frame is a bit fatter. As the velcro wrap that comes with the battery pouch barely goes around. However mine tied nicely to the handle bar stem.
Constantly having to dodge possums as they are stunned by the light
Not available with a New Zealand/Australian plug, but adapters are cheap.
Bottomline: If you are after a bright, lightweight and good bike light then look no further. Build quality is excellent, spares are available here. Batteries etc.
Great light for the price

Pros: For this price, you cannot get a better light for the bike. Outperforms other lights several that are several times the price of this light. Optics provide good flood and spot for biking use.
Cons: Cable connection does not feel as solid as it could be. Cable comes out of the front of the light which can be a little bit awkward, but only very slightly. Would not run this light while stationary as it may overheat.
Other Thoughts: Easily outperforms the Dinotte 200L by leaps and bounds.
Bottomline: 1 light is more than enough, but having one bar mounted and one helmet mounted would be perfect.
Great bike / head light for this price!

Pros: Great light for this price, works perfectly, easy to use, lightweight und great build quality of nearly all components. Battery life time is not over-estimated, really works für 3 or more hours on high-power level.
Cons: For helmet- or head-use an extension cable is necessary because otherwise the battery pack has to be fixed to the headstrap - unfortunately it is not included. Charger does not seem to bee of high quality, let's see how long it's going to work...
Other Thoughts: I recommend to buy the extension cable when you buy this lamp. It makes the wiring much easier ;-)
Bottomline: As an owner of an authentic Lupine light which once cost about 250EUR I am really satisfied with the quality of this light. It works perfectly, makes night to day for hours and is really good build quality!
