Once mounted, the visibility all-round visibility is very good, matching several rechargeable lights recently tested in terms of side on presence. Visibility, in terms of distance from behind, is also very good, with obvious presence at around 75 metres on unlit country roads. In the bright lights of the city centre rush hour, I’d supplement it with an auxiliary light, such as the Kranx Solis 100 or the Magicshine SEEMEE 50. In suburban settings, it has held its own well against street lights and passing motor vehicles. Truth is that after initial doubts that it would live with mid-range rechargeable lights, I have been pretty impressed by this gutsy little two LED model. True, on rainy nights and in mist and fog, I’d go for a bit more outright power, say the intense Moon Helix Pro 150, or even better something like the much more expensive Ravemen TR300.

I’ve found the flash mode has kept motor vehicles at bay when heading through the city centre at dusk and has combined well with a steady auxiliary amidst the night-time traffic. Down the dark lanes as the city is left behind, flash does perfectly well, but I have generally dismounted and used the steady mode on its own. This seem to have proved perfectly adequate to get me seen. Equally, the reflector is very handy, too – as is wearing a reflective jacket.
