RavemenFR500 Front Light(Return to Product Page)

I was using the original Raveman 250 for a few years and was starting to experience diminished battery life on longer rides; The newer FR500 is a big improvement, and definitely is brighter, and definitely has longer lasting battery life. I don't ride at night with this light, but the non-flashing modes appear to offer better light, as well, if one happens to be out riding at dusk. The trade off is that the new unit is a better, thicker, and thus heavier than the earlier model. I think it's a worthwhile trade off for the way it integrates under my Garmin computer and increases the new unit's brightness and battery life, but did look elsewhere in my 'carry-on equipment' to see where I could reduce those additional grams of weight. Tip: although not really an issue, I do use a small rubber band to wrap between the top of the Raveman (under the Garmin Computer) and then under my handlebar stem mount, to reduce vibration.

Great idea to allow a Garmin to be mounted on top of it. Being able to do so saves a lot of handle bar room which let's me utilize more hand positions relieving numbness.

Very bright. Adds cantilever weight if you have an out front mount. I removed the attached lanyard upon arrival. After several uses, I hit a bump and the light, and my Garmin, went flying. My mount circle failed.

Fortunately,I was able to retrieve both with little more than scratches.

The light functions well but I love that I can mount it securely under my quad lock. It's completely out of the way and looks super clean.

I bought this for my gravel/road bike for added safety. If it was up to my wife I'd be encased in lights and bubble wrap, but I get it. I live in a rural part of AZ and drivers aren't always very attentive. The light is sleek and easy to mount. I like the brightness and the fact you can adjust light patterns.

The Raveman light has multiple modes- flash, steady, warning. Takes up no more room on my narrow handlebars as my Wahoo device sits right on top. Love the streamline. Doesn't need to be charged as much as many other lights I've had. Solid product.

I like this light because it mounts easily and cleanly on my out-front Garmin mount. Other lights I've had to strap to my handlebar or stem and there is very little room on my handlebars for lights. I've had it for 3 weeks and have yet needed to recharge it (4 rides). I haven't used it at night yet, so not sure how it performs then, but i suspect will be fine for my limited needs.

Great headlight that integrates with the ubiquitous garmin computer mount. Garmin is equally secure on the light. Brightness is outstanding. Battery life is excellent. Charging is also clear with the indicator light.

Very happy with this light and it's innovative mount integration with Garmin cyclocomputer. It is easy to operate and plenty bright for road night riding. Love this front light and it's USB-C ease of charging.

I use this light on my gravel bike and it sits below my Garmin.

I think this light is as great as it can be for the price. The beam is a little dispersed, but pretty strong and it is visible from the sides. Mounting is not an issue if you have a computer mount already. Snap in and go.

Needed to raise my Garmin up to clear the handlebar. Very bright light to that is a bonus.

Works great. Super bright and convenient. The smart auto off sometimes will shut it off while you are getting ready to go, so double check before you go that it is still on.

i try to avoid riding in the dark but this thing is great to pop in my pocket if i might not make it back before dusk

Excellent lighting with an attachment for my computer.

The light source if very good in low light riding situations, when using the flash lighting function the light last several hours.

A lot of my friends have the original and 300 Raveman, but I just didn't think they were bright enough for daylight riding. The 500 is the answer!!! Super bright with 2 large LED's with side exposure. I'm sure it would be fine for night riding, as well. The Garmin mount works perfect, both to the stem mount and for the Garmin on top. It's super light (a fraction of my old Bontrager light) and is easy to charge. I can get 2 - 3 long rides in without charging (probably plenty of charge left). This is a winner!!

This compact, simple light gets the job done with the attention getting flash modes. The integrated Garmin mount is convenient and solid. When the mental midget strikes and you forget to charge your computer before a ride, the short jumper cable comes to the rescue.

I hate the bulky look of other lights. This throws off enough to see and be safe while hiding under my Garmin
