I repent! I left a bad review on Google 🫢

I got this light at Campus Bikes in Buffalo NY Loved it but whenever I charged it the power was a hit or miss. Frustrated I left a bad review and rating mainly because I spent good money for a good light for once. Come to find out, I was using my kids old charger that was shot! So sorry, it's three years later and my light is still like brand new!

Another great L&M light

My third L&M bike light since 2016. I use them daily for commuting and recreational riding in Tucson, and also as a flashlight at home. I've tried other brands, but I never like them as much and give them away. I like L&M's simple but reliable and easy to use mount. This third light suddenly failed after just a few months but L&M immediately sent a replacement, no questions asked. One minor thing that could be improved is the little waterproof cap on the charging port. It's hard to remove when it's new, and easy to lose.

great overall light

the VIS 500 is a great compact light that can't be beat at the price. I really appreciate the unique safety flashing pattern that helps you stand out to vehicles while using less power. When you hit a really dark section a couple clicks of the button and its bright enough to see whatever you need. I also use these on my kids bikes as an extra safety feature in the winter months. L&M customer service is also fantastic with short response times and great support

Replacement Light Works Great

I was sent this light by Light & Motion because a previous light that I had from them (that they no longer make) stopped functioning. It was within the warranty window and they replaced it with this one, which is even brighter. Great customer service from this company, I'm very pleased.

These have been my go-to lights for a couple of years. Bright, reliable and cost effective; I use one to extend daylight an hour or so after local group rides. Strap on a second for winter gravel rides into the night.
