OLIGHTRN 1500 Rechargeable Bike Headlights 1500 Lumens for Road Urban Cyclists, USB Type C Reverse Charging, Rechargeable Battery Included, 164 Meters Light Range Anti-Glare Beam, IPX7 Waterproof

So I a 3 paragraph detailed review but amazon said it didn't mean community standards somehow. So instead of being thorough and detailed and providing critical detailed information to anyone making a choice, I'll just do whatever everyone else does and say it works great. Shines light.EDIT:So after riding with this light for a bit, I wanted to share additional thoughts. First take a look at my pic. On the left is the OLight RN1500 attached to my helmet via a GoPro mount, on the right is a _very cheap_ bike light (that I don't recommend).First, the RN1500 is BRIGHT. I normally run it on the second setting just because the brightest most is ridiculous. Super cool though! I love the beam pattern!Here's something important though, look at the color rendering between the left and right halves. Even though the OLight is kicking out a TON more light, the cheap bike light on the right actually shows a difference between rocks, plants, trees, and shadows. I researched the OLight rn1500 and it appears (I think, don't quote me) to use an SST-40 emitter, vs my cheap bike light which the emitters are unknown (possibly a knockoff XM-L). The color rendering index of the OLight makes it quick difficult to quickly see the difference between rocks and leaves as they all kinda look the same.So, I don't think I'd recommend a solo OLight RN1500 for trail usage... but for city streets, this is hands down the light you could buy for the price. The quality is still EXCEPTIONAL! I do feel like you could use the RN1500 on your bar with a high CRI like on your helmet for trail usage.I wish they'd come out with an SST-20 version! That would be a game changer. I'm downgrading one star for the CRI not being great, but still the build quality and reliability of this light is unprecedented. Still recommend!

Great light!

This is an excellent light for the price. I was nervous about buying a lower price point headlight for my bike, but at the same time, I didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars for a light. This light is a great quality light for the price and it has not disappointed in performance for me.The rubber strap for mounting works great and the light stays secure on my handle bar. A quarter turn and the light comes off the mount for quick and easy charging. I ride primarily in the early morning hours and it’s dark for my entire ride. The lowest brightness setting provides plenty of light for me. I usually recharge the light about every 4 rides and my rides are just short of 2 hours each day. It could go longer between charges but I just don’t feel like pressing my luck lol.I recommend and would buy this light again without a second thought.

This light mounted easily. Mine holds a charge for several long rides and I cannot express how pleased I am with the intensity and focus of the beam. It is bright enough that I have been flashed by cars when on the highest output setting. I had to actually aim it down quite a bit in consideration of others on the roadway.

The OLight RN1500 flashlight has been a reliable companion, offering impressive brightness and versatile lighting options. However, there are some design flaws in its mounting system that are worth mentioning.Let's start with the positives: the flashlight itself is outstanding. It provides a powerful beam of light that's perfect for my outdoor adventures. The cutoff feature is a thoughtful addition, preventing blinding glare for oncoming traffic or fellow cyclists. With three light modes and two flashing modes, it adapts well to various situations, and its exceptional battery life is truly commendable.Now, onto the downside: the mounting hardware, particularly the straps, could definitely use an upgrade. While the straps are cheap to replace, the real issue arises when they break. In such cases, the mount becomes unusable, and you're left with the inconvenience of holding the flashlight in another fashion, which can be cumbersome during a ride.Furthermore, there's a limitation with the cutoff feature when using a "GoPro-style" mount. In this setup, the light needs to be mounted upside down when positioned beneath a bike computer, rendering the cutoff feature ineffective. This can be frustrating for those who rely on their bike computers and still want to utilize the cutoff feature.In conclusion, the OLight RN1500 is an excellent flashlight with remarkable brightness and versatile lighting modes. However, the fragility of the mounting hardware and the inconvenience it causes when broken, along with the limitation of the cutoff feature in certain mounting configurations, are notable drawbacks. Despite these issues, it remains a solid choice for outdoor enthusiasts, earning it a respectable 4-star rating.

Charged the bad boy and got it mounted on my commute bike. First off, super easy install with 1/4 turn mount thats Garmin compatible. Which made me wonder if this is OEM factory as the unit is friggin solid! Beutifully extruded or machined and tactile sensation leant an air of quality. Second, the light is much brighter than I expected. To the point where I'm blown away with the projection. On a full bright day, the light is strong enough to clearly illuminate the reflective paint on street signs. Jaw dropping really.Operationally, this this does, solid in 3 phases, flashing in 3 phases, and a hold down lock out so you cannot accidentally drain it by turning on in your bag. Well you could if you don't use the lockout, but damn, was I impressed. The projection is perfect for stuff in front. I'm a commuter, have been hit by a car, so super vigilant about have the right gear. I haven't drained the battery yet but fo Once r the 2.5 hours I had it on flashing mode, it didn't crap out. The is my second product from this manufacturer and its not gonna be the last.Now I'm searching for extra mounts for my other bikes. And maybe get this BT compatible for speed sensing? One can always ask for more!

Mount works great, light works great. Heck of a deal
