Strengths:
- $50 is a good price point for 92 actual lumens
- Cree LED and reflector is good to have at this level
- Quick release mount is very good for a commuter level light
Weaknesses:
- The beam pattern is very narrow.
Bottom Line:
At $50, we give it a big thumbs up. Get a hand 4 pack of rechargeables and charger if you intend to use this light regularly.
