This light takes self-contained battery lighting to the next level. The combination of a Maxbright Rebel LED and a Princeton Tec-designed collimator maximizes the beam by balancing long-throw with localized lighting.

The EOS BIKE is light enough to throw into your jersey pocket for a late afternoon ride ensuring you'll have enough light to get home. It is drop proof and its use of high-grade materials ensures durability and strong resistance to water/weather/environmental conditions.

A GuestA great "see me" light and works in a pinch as a "see it" light if you get caught out later than planned. Mounts easily on bar with no annoying rattle. Very fast delivery by Tree Fort.

andrew.helligeThis light is a great value. I use it as a helmet light for my daily commute and also as a headlamp for fishing, camping and around the house. I use the Princeton Tec as a secondary commuting light, but on residential streets it fills in the gaps between street lights well enough it could probably be your "to see" light.

ATolkoffThis light is a keeper. The only downside for me, and this probably applies to many bike lights, is that it's not shielded. As a result, if placed to close to your computer, it can cause interference. In this case, it interfeared with my cadence reading. Other lights have interfeared with my HRM reading. I use a Sigma Rox computer. Not sure how it impacts Garmins.

A GuestI concur that it is a great "see me" light and not too heavy to work on the helmet. Not enough light from the helmet to see rough road at dusk. It might be enough from the bars or when your eyes adjust in total darkness. This assumes the use of alkaline batteries; I haven't tried NiMH yet.

A GuestI've been using this for ~2wks as my first strong bar-mount headlight for commuting at night. The light is bright enough to ride unlit roads at night, though the beam doesn't extend far enough that I'd feel comfortable going much more than 20mph on an unfamiliar road. It seems very solid, without being too heavy.
If you use the bar mount, you'll need to really really tighten the handscrew, else the light will produce a vibrating squeaking noise when you ride. It can be tough to get it tight enough, though, because the mount is constructed to tighten with a hand-friendly knob (instead of a standard hex bolt), but you'll need to use pliers or a wrench to really get it as tight as it needs to be to stop the noise.

kkezirI love this light. I have used it on my helmet for commuting to work in the morning for the last 2yrs. It lights up the roads so I can miss the potholes on dark streets.
I bought a 2nd one for my husband as his fishing at night and bike light :)
