Urban 1000 manual

Multiple issues

Bought the Urban 1000 online in August 2021. I was looking for a light for my road bike. Multiple issues:
1. Access to the charging port requites unmounting the light from the handle bar.
2. Very difficult to mount and unmount the light due to the stiffness of the "rubber" mounting strap.
3. Limited grip on handlebar - light rotates from normal forward direction to upward during ride. Very annoying.
4. No continuous flashing (off/on) available; only a weird strobe mode that has a limited run time (~4 hours).
5. Doesn't "remember" preferred setting - must click through all settings to get to your choice. Selection button very hard to operate - must press very hard and time difference between tuning off and changing mode is very similar.
6. NEVER buy this light! I will not buy another Light & Motion product.

Would not charge after five hours and mount did not open, nor detach from tht light.

When I first received it I plugged it in to charge. After FIVE hours it was still not charged. Then saw in several reviews that it need eight hours or overnight to charge, after which the charge only lasts an hour or two.
Anyway, wanted to see if it fit on the handlebar of my folding Brompton. It was impossible to unbutton the loop to try it out. So, even if it had eventually charged, it was useless. The loop has a kind of tab or button and a series of holes. The hole was much too small to allow one to open it.
No quick release as it claims. There is a screw on the side of the mount which was impossible to turn. And the light could not be detached from the mount despite trying every way to twist, pull or turn it.
Did not have the opportunity to see if it was waterproof as claimed.
The light sounded perfect for my city commute to Manhattan, but sadly, it failed on all fronts.
REI tech support tried to help me, but they were unable to. Luckily, they gave me a full refund.

After identifying a defect on the body of my CLX10, I was able to work with the team at StellaPro to resolve the issue. After contacting StellaPro, there was very good communication between the team and myself. Their responses were timely, and we reached an agreeable conclusion. I must say I love these little lights, and the fact that I can use all my Profoto and Bowens mount light modifiers with them. I ended up purchasing another CLX10, and I must say the discount was real and fantastic. I may consider replacing my other strobes with the Reflex models as well. Portable is the way to go!!! Earlier, after my first purchase, StellaPro provided me with a couple of extension cables for my CLX10 at no charge. Much appreciated and it makes a world of difference. Great team!!!

Not bad

I wonder what the old version was like.

For me, the biggest thing is, while it's not necessarily meant to take large modifiers, I wish it did a better job of handling them for the times when it's just easier to use what's available. I think it could still use a bit more tension (or maybe have that part made of metal so I'm more comfortable torquing it down). That maybe would not be a complaint if there was a little more guidance on how large a modifier could realistically be used. Also, I wish the angle between the mount and the battery grip was a little bit larger.

Other than that, not bad!

Great lights

Great lights very bright and sturdy at a good price. Also excellent customer service

Excellent customer service

I have an older model Sola 2000. I contacted light and motion with a problem. They got back to me in less than 24 hours and after a brief dialogue, my problem was solved. I have never had better customer service.

Quick Release?

Not so much a review as a question. Once installed on a out front mount how do you remove the light for charging? I assume you do not have to unscrew and rescrew everytime? Thanks for any assistance. The light itself is great.
