I have a dynamo setup on my old touring bike but took the expensive 80 lumens Busch & Mueller light off to use elsewhere. So I needed a cheap option to use on this backup bike. I cycle on unlit tracks in parks at night, so need loads of light.
First impressions the build quality is pretty good. Actually, I prefer the look and feel to the more expensive B&M light. It was relatively easy to fit and the fittings are interchangeable with the B&Ms.
In terms of performance, the light level is good, with a slightly off pattern as others have noted but still useable. I had no problems on unlit tracks at reasonable speed. Less positively the standlight is weak to the point of being almost useless, and the sensor has no lag, so the light flickers every time you get overtaken. These are fairly minor things for me. Side visibility is also not great which is more significant. So I wouldn't use this on a bike I was using daily, but for occasional night time use, it does the trick, and at the price I paid it's ideal.
