As a man that likes to own and use tools I am a frequent visitor of Mall hardware stores. It's air conditioned, product lineup diverse, plus when you are lucky a cute female diser will assist you on your inquiries, and also you payed major coin for the parking fee so might as well waste more time. Handyman my favorite, the store pretty much has every crap you think you need for that DIY dream project and they also carry basic camping, cycling stuff as well. So on that matter of convenience purchased the Energizer LED front bike light and Energizer LED back bike light.
Energizer LED front bike light P795
Features:
Three LED bulbs up-front
Three modes high beam, strobe, and high beam+strobe.

Out of the box and installation
Both light comes with instruction manual, Energizer batteries and mounting hardware.
Mounted both lights with minor issues, had to remove the rubber spacer inside the base of the rear light to not over stretch the rubber straps probably not a problem with smaller seat posts (mine is 31.6). Although not a negative flaw the screws of rear light for' and aft' adjustment flat-head type would be nice if it came with Philips screw head.

Also the Front light is Initially on "demonstration" mode. Already circled the block frustrated that my main lights will auto-shut off its dandy-self after 10 sec of usage. On my stupid haste to install the lights failed to read important first use instructions on how to turn-off DEMO mode. Just remove the batteries for 10 seconds, re-install and all is well.
Block run
Front light provides great visibility on dark or UN-lit street on high beam, on strobe oncoming vehicles or pedestrians will spot you kilometers away. Rear lights basic affair just setup the blinkers at an angle not pointed down on your tires put it on any mode and you have a rear safety warning light for oncoming vehicles, cyclist or ghost.

The price and free batteries main selling point for these products. The usual basic Cateye rear blinkers cost less (300-350) but does not come with batteries out of the box. Energizer website provides power consumption data for the lights on all of its MODE but the real test is on the street I will put 5 night rides on this lights before my final review.

ReplyDeleteThese lights are complete garbage. I bought three front ones two years ago, all three stopped working within 12 months. Most disturbing, one flew apart when I hit a bump.
ReplyDeleteFront lights OK but the mounting straps needs to be tightened well.
DeleteAlso lost the rear lights on fast road descent. Bought Cateye rapid 3 as replacement.
I Had a similar Bike light in the past and highly recommend anyone biking at night get some lighting. The brighter the better, since its too easy to be overlooked at night. I prefer low energy consumption rechargeable options these days since I bike a decent amount.
ReplyDeleteAmazing job!
