UPDATE: Just got a 2nd one for my daughters bike. I've had the 1st one for about 6 months or so. Both of the rear lights are not doing well. One completely inoperable, the other works sporadically. Disappointed in the new mounting for the headlight. The first one I bought had a little dial that made is really easy to tighten down the mount. The one that arrived this week has a less-sturdy hook and loop type of mount which is hard to get very tight on the handlebar.
Both headlights, however, are working fantastically and are just amazingly tough. Even though I've had issues mentioned above, I still think it's a good deal. I haven't bothered to contact customer service, though. I'm just going to get separate rear lights.
Original review: Just got mine. Was shipped within a few days. I have a new Giant Sedona DX and wanted a light on it. This thing is very well built and very bright. I probably won't use the blinker in the headlight, but will use it on the tail light.
Charging uses a standard mini-usb port and they even include 2 cables. Both lights were pretty much fully charged when I got them.
My only nit pick would be that the light throws in a fairly wide area. It still blasts plenty of illumination in front of me.
When I realized how little I paid for it, I feel like I got a really good deal. I look forward to using this a lot.
Mounting was easy.
It takes some effort to remove the headlight from the mount (in order to charge it), but I guess that's better than having it be too loose. You really have to press hard on the release tab before you can slide it out.
Overall I feel like this is an awesome value for the purchase price and I'd recommend this to anyone.
