I looked at this, but then decided on the Towild Br1000 as it has a removable battery. I have loads of 18650 batteries lying around so it's perfect. I also bought the Towild br800 from Aliexpress for a crazy £3. I have also bought a dual gopro type mount so I can mount both lights. They both have the same auto shut off/start technology too.

I think it is a great light, especially with the remote. I use it on my road bike, in winter time, during my evening / night rides. It is very powerful, and with oncoming traffic, I can just use the remote to tone down the intensity, without reaching for the buttons on the light itself. One major disadvantage in my opinion is that the battery seems to drain at quite a significant pace. After not having used the light for a couple of weeks, the battery is just dead, and requires a full recharge, which can take hours (no fast charge?). Put that aside, I am really happy with it.

@WheelsonaBike 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing your experience with the light. I've been using it in combination with my running light on my ebike and it provides so much brightness. The trail I ride on has no lights and with this light on, that's not a problem. I've not experienced the battery discharge you mention, but maybe you've had the light for longer? Batteries do decline.

@adampettus 17 дней назад

Thank you! The mass is what I came to learn. The flashing mode does not appear to be attention-getting in the day light. What is your opinion of this aspect, having observed it in real life?

@ting280 Год назад

I prefer Olight. I have the RN400 and RN120 on my ebike, an i3T in my back pocket and an i3UV on my keychain. They just make extremely powerful little lights. I also like Rovyvon for keychain lights, if they made bike lights I'd definitely try one out.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

My first quality light is also an Olight one. I use it to this day and have also used it as a flashlight. Very bright. Thanks for sharing what you use with us.

@JohnSmith-uz3dt Год назад

Will the light work while it is plugged in and charging? I carry a charging brick and would like to plug my rechargeable light into it while riding.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Great question. I just checked and yes, the light does work when plugged in and charging.

Hello. Love the channel. I'm in Markham to and from Toronto and I don't drive I only cycle. I recently upgraded to an ebike to further my adventures. Anyhow the infrastructure in Toronto for cycling is terrible. My family is from Finland and the stark contrast is staggering. Ppl kids included ride all year and it gets cold there compared to here. Three city takes care of the cycling mantality. Also the govt goes on and on about green future. Well if they would insensitivise more to ride safely more would. And more would be happier and healthier. The light looks nice and rugged.

@WheelsonaBike 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts. I think the infrastructure is better than what it used to be, but there's still ways to go. I think Toronto is trying to make everyone happy at this point and is not focusing on really goos infrastructure. When that happens, change will come.

Cool review... flashing light actual is forbidden for bikes in Germany on public roads (though lot of people use them anyways)... what is the legal situation for Canada with flash lights? Thanks for sharing!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

That is so interesting. Flashing lights are used all the time by cyclists in Canada. But I can understand why they'd be banned, if only for accessibility - they could cause a seizure.

@katjasendmayr1342 Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike Normaly I use a hub dynamo, but this light looks very interesting!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

I think hub dynamos would be ideal, especially when touring, but for commuting, I usually have one of these types of lights.

@WHS_reviews Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike : Flashing lights are banned in NL and DE not for seizures but because it is unsafe in that they are distractions, and possibly other reasons were involved too in making that decision. Other issues with flashing are that you cannot estimate speed (and distance) nor sideways movement of a vehicle, which is especially bad for taillamps.

@theunriddenadventures8126 Год назад

Interesting. I tend to use my flashing lights during the day and a constant beam at night.

@d.rabbitwhite Год назад

Honestly, I miss the old lights for biking. I disliked how heavy they were, but, I love the way they lit things. I never use flashing and personally hate the others use it because LED lights do not seem to beam outwards, rather they flare brightness. I have seen and have talked to others who have also noted, that this makes seeing folks a bit harder because it is just one more glare among all the other LED glare. My old Nighthawk could beam tens, if not a hundred or so, of feet ahead, which at night, to me, equals safety. The brightest of LEDs which I use now, don't go far, and in a wooded street or rural area would be a bit nerve wracking.

@d.rabbitwhite Год назад

I'm in Western Canada. If that adds to anything.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

I find that lights are getting very bright and I sometimes get blinded by them based on how they're positioned on others' bikes. I have a light on my ebike which flares out a lot more and although it's not as bright, in terms of lumens, it does appear to be brighter because of how much it shows in front and around me.

@d.rabbitwhite Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike I noted once when driving, because all the cars also have the LEDs, and the street Lights are LEDs and it is the city so there are lights everywhere reflecting off of everywhere, that is harder to see bikers and pedestrians especially in wet conditions, Than when the biker doesn't have a light...That is busy city areas, I mean. Not neighbourhood areas. It's a Different situation there. Last week I almost right turned into a biker as I was pulling into a gas station. It was horrific. He gave me the shame look and I felt horrible for not having seen him, for almost hitting him, and for knowing he doesn't know that I also ride, more than drive, and I did look, and believe me, I was looking, because I always look for bikes before turning, or pulling out.

@@d.rabbitwhite : With LED lighting you can see far ahead, but the cool white low CRI light that most use is bad for contrast. With the Philips Saferide 80 neutral white (low CRI) I can see the road ahead 70m in fairly dark places, a bit less with more light around you with abundant streetlighting. Non-cutoff beams are further very inefficient, I came to a factor 3-5 x more needed compared to a good cutoff beam. Philips came the about the same conclusion. Cool white light causes more glare for oncoming traffic and it is particularly bad in rain and in fog. I tried to get manufacters to use neutral white LEDs (about 3500-4000K high CRI would probably be optimal) but they go with cool white and don't care about high CRI because then customers say 'wow it is bright' and reviewers don't help as they are generally incompetent and don't even understand the differences.

Interesting as the comments and analytics are..... Compared to early battery bike lights, the current crop are astounding. Given the range of prices, there's no excuse for not having lights at night (or day)

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Agreed! There's a lot to choose from across a spectrum of price ranges.

@el3ktrik0 7 месяцев назад

Can it be charged while in use?

@WheelsonaBike 7 месяцев назад

Yes it can. I just tested using the light while plugged in to a battery pack and it works, but I am unable to access the pulsing modes.

@el3ktrik0 7 месяцев назад

@@WheelsonaBike thanks! Can you change the modes? Or is it in some mode by default?

@WheelsonaBike 7 месяцев назад

@el3ktrik0 I can change between the flood and focus beam modes but I cannot access the flash mode.

@WHS_reviews Год назад

The beam shots are not useful. You need to be aware of the fact that photos and videos are NOT able to convey how good or bad a lamp is because of various reasons which is why a reviewer's description is essential. The issues are in particular 1) light distribution, esp. too much close to you means you can't see far ahead because of the eyes adapting to the brightest light, 2) a screen is flat, you see everything at the same distance, this gives rise to what I call 'perspective overaccentuation of the near field', i.e. an area close to you is bigger in a picture than the same surface area far away while farther (30-50m) away is more important, so a light can appear 'brighter' on a beam shot but be experienced as darker in reality, 3) limited dynamic range of cameras and screens means you see black where in reality you still see the side of the road lit up. 4) you watch a screen win a room likely with background lighting or even during the day, not in darkness, which also influences how you experience the beam shot.
