Very good light under the Garmin mount. Good light output and easy to switch from one mode to another quickly. Good quality. A natural spotlight. A small color light showing the battery life, a good function compared to similar lights. In freezing weather, the battery life is weaker than stated.

This thing is BRIGHT and provides more than enough light when riding gravel roads or forest trails at night. Using the lower power setting it also works as a good commuter light. I have it mounted under my Garmin Out Front computer mount (though you need to buy the Garmin Friction Flange adapter) and it looks clean and stays securely in place. I love this light because of its small form factor, sufficient battery life and bright output.
