Product Description

For Massdrop to get into cycling accessories, it needs to aim a bit higher, with high-lumen and touring lights. Small stuff like this is always on sale through the big bike retailers.
The strobe function is super useful/important for daytime visibility, whether you're commuting or a road cyclist. It was a poor choice to put that feature behind a 10-second button press. I'd pick this up as a backup but that sounds pretty annoying.
drewbergOn my headlight, the strobe is a single button press away from the constant-on (high-med-low-strobe are in a single-press cycle). When I am bike commuting, sometimes I'll be constant-on and use the strobe function like a car horn, to alert drivers to my presence so they don't hit me with their car. That's impossible with this light.

My biggest problem with bike lights is lack of replaceable battery. It's a very important thing to take into consideration which is not something manufacturers obviously think about. Non-replaceable battery means limited cycling time as should it go empty on you you have no ability to replace on the road. And more importantly this also means that after some 400 cycles or so, you have no other choice but to toss out perfectly good working bike light.
Luckily this one seems affordable but I would love to see additional information about how easy it is to service. Spread pattern looks good but I wouldn't consider this anything more than in city commute light. Long distance riders, in my opinion, should look for something like Phoenix BC21R, which uses 18650 batteries which last huge amount of time and can be easily replaced.
