Light, reviewed by a NYC courier

  • Was a bit dim in the morning. Around the middle of the day it brightened, and was very useful, with good visibility for quite a distance. But by the end of the day had it dimmed again, to the point that obstacles weren't immediately apparent until very close. Also found it to be noticeably worse when overcast and raining.

    Would be better if it were constant. Don't know what the manufacturer was thinking - light that only lasts for part of the day, and goes out when it gets late. Not sure if better batteries would help?

    2/5

  • Light, reviewed.

  • Heh.

  • Light, reviewed.

    I would do a follow up review in about 6 months. The quality varies over time.

  • Those cateye ones are pretty light i've found.

    Certainly seem to be switched on, that company.

  • Never take advice from people who are prepared to prostrate themselves to corporate America to the extent that they are content being bicycle delivery boys for the business establishment.

    It would be shit enough without any need for further critique, but their own willingness to buy into the scene fabricated 'hero'/'street rebel' identity compounds the whole cultural farce.

    *only joking.

    How can you know this, we cannot record or remember light accurately* so how could we make a comparison** ?

    I enjoy your work.

  • Wan't he just the most useful soul! Fuck me that's probably the worst review article I've ever read - my boss, if he knew i was reading this in work time, would be disgusted with the tripe that's on screen eating into my productive time. He'd be happy if it was a Brompton article though. Off to the CTC forum.
