Quick & easy to correctly install & operate and you really can see it's superflash a mile away.

This is a high quality bike lite. I have many different el cheapo units that I still use. This Turbo light is real easy to switch from bike to bike, so the older lites will be phased out & sold the flea mkt. soon. The visibility factor is awesome. 1st time out training with the club I was obliged to ask if it was OK to leave it on while in the pace line, (it's really that bright!). Nobody was annoyed & they actually appreciated its use because the turbo flash makes the whole group more visible to passing motorists.

Thanks,

BF (North County Cycle Club)

Thank you for your feedback.

Awesome winter light!

Great light, super visible. Not sure how long the battery will last. Would like to have had a USB recharge on it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good value.

Good value. Easy to mount and removable from mount when not in use. Used it for 3 seasons no problems. Would not use less than a 1 watt.

Thank you for your feedback.

The Brightest

This light is very bright and easy for others to see. The random flashing pattern enhances the visibility. A must if you ride with traffic. All my riding buddies ask where they can get one like this.

Thank you for your feedback.

Must be good, somebody stole it right away.

I have had several and it is hard to beat the combination of brightness and light weight.

Be Seen. Be Alive

I'm a big believer in being seen when riding. I've been using both the 12 watt and more recently the brighter 1 watt tail lights for over a year and I've not had a single close call or altercation w drivers. Of course I follow traffic law and use common sense - cars always have the right-of-way Better alive than right -) Esp. the Turbo, 1-watt version really get's drivers' attention. Again using plenty of common sense and courtesy, w this light on, cars give me plenty of space as well as let me merge into turning lanes wo hassle.

The only reason for the 4-star is that one of the units ( I own 3 of these ) came apart when I went over a pot hole. The one half the unit separated from the unit spilling batteries which I had to scrounge around a blind curve to locate. I put a piece of electrical tape to avoid the problem. Other than that I highly recommend it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Yeow!

The brightest, most blinding light I've ever seen! It might even make the Bozos who always hang on my rear wheel move to the front! Perfect!

Thank you for your feedback.

Unparalled visibility

Use in early morning and when returning at night from rides.

On off switch is very stiff. High-quality product and imperative for safety.

Thank you for your feedback.

BEST TAILLIGHT AVAILABLE..PERIOD!!!!

This taillight is amazing! I've been several hundred yards past a roadsign and turned around to actually see it reflect off the sign! The flash pattern this light uses is sure to get a drivers attention. Most drivers actually pass me in the far lane now instead of 3 feet away.

Thank you for your feedback.

Don't look straight at it!

Seriously, up close this thing could practically induce seizures. Nothing can stop cagers from being idiots, but if they hit you with this light on your bike, they will have NO excuse. On the random blink setting, you can probably see this light from 14 mile away.

Thank you for your feedback.
