BlackburnDayblazer 400 Front Light(Return to Product Page)

I would agree with other reviewers - the run time is very short (even just using the lower light setting) - much less than advertised. Bummer.

It does put out a very nice wide, bright light.

The light "mode" selection is nice but, the run time is SHORT. I use it on my commuter - about 4 hrs., however, I wouldn't use it on my road bike. It would go dead on a long ride and would have to charge it for every road ride.

This little guy puts out a lot of light. It's also easy to move it from one bike to another.

My only suggestion to improve the light is to make the power button larger. It's a bit small when wearing gloves. On rides of 70 to 110 miles, I have been unable to drain the battery. On one step down from the brightest continuous light, bright enough for dark streets, the battery lasts 100 minutes.

This light is bright and the charge lasts a good while. Secure and easy to move to multiple bikes if needed.

I think All bikers need to have lights for their bike so they can be seen at night time for safety

I like the bright light and the different settings that are available. The light provide reliable light for about 6-8 hours (maybe 2 or 3 rides for me). It would be nice if the light held a charge longer. I guess the technology is not there yet.

When charging the light, it is a bit difficult to insert the USB cable into the light, because the opening is so small.

It seems that sometimes the light stops working and the light has to be turned on again.

I cycle often when the days are longer and the weather is warmer. I like the visibility that the light provides. I ride exclusively on the roads, preferably on roads with designated bike lanes, although there is a wonderful bike trail less than an hour (by car) from my home.

It is a bit difficult to insert the USB cable into the laptop or whatever device you are using to charge the light. It usually takes several attempts to insert the light so that it will charge properly. There is an indicator, which shows remaining battery life. I find this pretty accurate.

I usually take 2-3 hour rides. I can count on the light for maybe three 2-3 hour rides.

Sometimes i turn the light on at the beginning of my ride, only to find out the light has stopped working while I am cycling. I make sure to test it frequently during rides. So, if it is not blinking, I have to hold the switch to turn it on again. It seems a bit sensitive.

Overall, for the price it is not a bad light; it just need frequent charging.
