Good review. I bought this unit and like it. I use regular batteries mostly because they can replaced on the go if necessary. I have also found the battery life to be very good.
Would've helped if you could've also shown how it looks on the seat post. My concern being, does it compensate for angle of the seatpost? Thank you for the otherwise great video tho
No it's a flat mount so if your seatpost is at an fore aft angle it will not compensate for that. I think this is not a light that's built for aero bikes. It is more geared towards commuter and touring
Agree with you on the AAA vs USB 1. What is your opinion of the cherrybomb as a daytime light? (Disruptive flashing pattern in order to be seen) 2. Personal question - you watch in the first half the video ... as Seiko? (You don't have to answer it :-))
1. As you can see in my bikepacking video I use this light only as a DRL (daytime running light) as I seldom cycle after dark here in the Himalaya. The first pattern is disruptive and Its extremely visible, even at 100m on the brightest day. 2. Tissot. I don't mind answering. Though I have a Seiko 5 too for everyday wear 😀
@@GearLama Have ordered the Cherrybomb based on your review. Yours is a rare voice for Indian cycle touring enthusiast. Hoping to see more videos from you.
Yes Sandeep rechargeable batteries have less voltage than normal batteries. However these are led lights. Leds are far more cpabale of lighting across multiple voltage range. I've always used and am using these lights with panasonic eneloop white AAA batteries and have not experienced any less a runtime. When it comes to rechargeable batteries I always trust eneloop whether it's for lights, camera flash , bt keyboards, mouse or rc cars
Hi sir!! I have a giant escape 3 and I wanna upgrade the drivetrain to Shimano Sora 3x9 as u suggested does it will fit in my bike n costing for the same ???
Because that would beat the very purpose of the light. The idea to have replaceable battery is to make it agnostic to battery deterioration. You can always use rechargeable eneloop AAA
