5.0 out of 5 stars Great little light!, November 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Cygolite Expilion 400 Usb Rechargeable Headlight with Quick Release Li-Ion Battery Stick and Wall Charger (Sports)
Excellent light, well built with excellent materials. Being an electronics geek I disassembled it the moment I received it to make sure the electronics board and all wiring is well assembled and of good quality and found it to be really professionally built with rubber weather seals everywhere and with thermal paste for heat dissipation between the LED module and the front metal ribbed casing. Even the USB port rubber seal (which has many negative comments in other reviews) is very good and seals great.
Beam spread is excellent, couldn't be better and is very bright!

5.0 out of 5 stars ExpiliOn 400, August 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Cygolite Expilion 400 Usb Rechargeable Headlight with Quick Release Li-Ion Battery Stick and Wall Charger (Sports)
On my bike when I Night commute, I could not see due to the lack of a concentrated bright Bicycle light so I looked into the CygoLite ExpiliOn 400 HeadLight after I fell 50 feet into an abandoned mine shaft (luckily no major injury, as it was a flooded mine); it had the best specifications (Durability, cost, easy rechargeable battery, Run Times, no wires or external batteries, Flash mode) when compared to Light & Motion, NiteRider MiNewt Mini, and DiNotte Lighting systems AA Bicycle Headlight Model.

I wanted an All-in-one design which required no wires or external batteries and a good run time.

I emailed CygoLite to ask about the LED Output (Lumens) Low-Brightness specs (Run Time 6 hours) since the High-Brightness Run Time is only 3 hours and I needed more Run Time but with decent Brightness.

They didn't answer me and got all paranoid about it, competition is tough it seems (NiteRider just came out with a VERY similar durable one-piece, Rechargeable... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Good Cycle Light, June 23, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Cygolite Expilion 400 Usb Rechargeable Headlight with Quick Release Li-Ion Battery Stick and Wall Charger (Sports)
A great cycling light, especially for the money. It also doubles as a great handheld flashlight for intermittent duty (needs airflow over it for continuous duty).
One issue I have seen in other reviews that I have a easy solution for is the waterproof rubber cover over the USB charger connection. It is a soft rubber that is somewhat sticky and hard to reinsert back into the connector properly. A small dab of electrical or silicone grease on the rubber seal will make the insertion easy and waterproof. The grease is available at auto parts store in very inexpensive plastic packets.
Love this light!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Big Light, with No "Strings" Attached, November 11, 2009
By 
Barrett Benton (New York) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
When I first heard various rumors about this light's pending appearance on the market, I was *really* worried someone was pulling my leg, because the specs read like a dream come true: a compact, self-contained, quick-release headlight that could throw a beam bright enough to truly see *by*, rivaling some batteries-go-somewhere-else units, using merely a pair of garden-variety AA alkalines (I have a *much* better alternative to those, which I'll get to shortly), and coming in at well under a hundred bucks. My local dealer not only confirmed the 2-watt light's existence, but said he could order one for me if I'd like. (*Would* I!)

I've been using the light a good deal for the better part of two weeks, and it does the business. It's the same size as the 1-watt version, save for its jet-black finish. Like all the Planet Bike lights I've bought, build quality is great, the now-renowned quick-release mounting system remains unchanged, which is a good thing, because (1) it's... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Value, September 3, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Planet Bike Blaze 2Watt LED Headlight (Sports)
This is my first foray into lighting for my bike.

I got this light specifically to be able to ride a rails to trails trail near my house in the early mornings. Had it mounted and on the bike within a minute of opening the box. The first ride was at 4:15 a.m. under a mostly moonless sky through my neighborhood and then onto the trail.

This light is more than adequate for cruising around and/or commuter biking. On the trail I found the beam to be narrow, but with enough spill to illuminate the wide trail sufficiently. The trail is all dirt with some minor bumps and ruts - mount and light didn't slip or move around at all. There is an appreciable difference between the brightness on high and low settings. I kept mine on low because I felt I had a little better vision to the sides without the real bright spot. I don't really have a need for the strobe, but it will definitely get you noticed.

I could see a racer overdriving this light, but it worked... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A "seeing" light under 15mph., August 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Planet Bike Blaze 2Watt LED Headlight (Sports)
Remarkable little thing. I've been using those toy 2 C battery lights for years and this 2W LED light is wonderful. For those older riders who just want to cruise around and get some exercise in the cooler summer evenings this is the perfect light. Reaction time is adequate at 15mph and under. If you are a serious cyclist and putting down 18 to 22mph in the dark you will need the brighter heavier lights.

5.0 out of 5 stars As bright as high end bike lights, June 4, 2011
By 
ThomasN (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MagicShine MJ-808E 1000 Lumen LED Bike Light 2011 version with improved battery and charger (Misc.)
From the reviews I watched on youtube, particularly from mtbr, I went ahead and got myself this unit eventhough I already have the NiteRider MiNewt.250 Cordless Light for my Trek Fuel EX-8 mountain bike. Testing the two lights side by side, the MagicShine TOTALLY out-flooded the NiteRider's beam. The light is super bright, emits a pleasant white color and has a nice even beam pattern. You'll only find this in a $400+ light. The construction & material of the MagicShine is well-made and solid too. Btw, the latest version of the unit (MJ-808E) fixed some of the issues of the previous version pointed out by mtbr youtube video -(ie) light no longer briefly turns on as soon as it's plugged into the battery; has high, low, (one) flash mode, off mode when pushing the button; no more battery issues & is water sealed. This light is so affordable that I might get myself another one for my helmet.

Update 9/21/2011 - I recently rode on a paved trail along Terry Hershey Park in Houston,... Read more

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: MagicShine MJ-808E 1000 Lumen LED Bike Light 2011 version with improved battery and charger (Misc.)
The new improved version of this light & battery pack will satisfy anyone looking for a good bar or helmet mount system. I think the claim of 1000 lumen is slightly overated, but still plenty of good white light to see and be seen in the darkest of conditions. One note; the battery pictured is NOT the new improved battery that comes with this system. The battery you will receive is the MJ-828 LCD battery, far improved and water proof.

All in all, you can't go wrong with this choice, and as mentioned before, shipping was very prompt.

Follow up report...I was so blown away by the performance of this system (helment mounted) that I purchased another one for bar mount. Riding through pitch black conditions, I felt like a squad car with high beams and spot used simultaneously. I ride in mountain lion country, so if two of these systems aren't enough to drive the beast off, then he can eat me! Don't waste your money on $400-$700 systems. If you need more than... Read more

This review is from: MagicShine MJ-808E 1000 Lumen LED Bike Light 2011 version with improved battery and charger (Misc.)
In a nutshell, I works very well when it works, but you are in trouble seriously when it doesn't.

The connectors are snug enough to protect the battery in rainy winter in the Pacific Northwest, but the internal electrical connection breaks easily. First when it started to lose connection in 1 week, I had to send it to the seller (Performance Outdoor Gear) for repair or replacement of the connector. They shipped it back to me in a snail mail to know that it still didn't work. They said they replaced the lamp instead of the connector in battery side. I had to send it back to them again to finally get a working one. They won't send you the part until they receive what you send them. So, it took about 2 calendar weeks for a complete repair cycle. It was real inconvenience to use my backup head light for my daily bike commute in dark winter in Seattle for 4 weeks.

Now I have a charger problem. I sent several messages and left a voice message to the seller but they... Read more
