What a light what light what a crazy light :-)

ok, this is amazing light that i got 4-5 years ago and just shines its so cool when I needed new one i got here to get one again, for money you cant go wrong trust me nobody pay me to leave this review I have URBAN 350 light on my Brompton and happy trails.

Nice little light

I just installed the light yesterday. The instructions are illustrations rather than in text but they got the job done. The light charged up quickly. The bracket was easy to strap on the bike and I think it will hold the light firmly in place. You need to remove a thumb screw to quickly detach the light from the bracket. The light seems to work very well once I figured out how to "unlock" the settings. I believe you need to depress the button longer than the 4 seconds as shown in the instructions. The light seems to give adequate illumination and should also be an adequate warning to drivers. And I like the color!

I love this light!

Have used for about 6 months. Super durable and bright light. Just wish it had more flashing options. However, still the best light I have bought!

Excellent customer service. Great light

Very bright lights, some features are too complicated

I bought the Vis 500 commuter combo (and the Red Racer). This is the second time I've bought light & motion lights for my bike. They are very bright and durable, and I feel very comfortable biking at night. I like that the pulsing mode is not a strobe, as I've had too look into too many oncoming strobe bike lights and it is not pleasant.
The Vya bike tail light is maybe too advanced... It fits well on my bike and is also bright, but not the most intuitive thing to use since it is so different from normal bike lights. I also do not think the pulsing mode on it is as eye friendly as the Vis because it does have a short strobe flash. The battery remaining indicators are also well-intentioned but difficult to interpret with different lights coming on/off with different amounts of power remaining.
Overall these are very good, very bright lights, but some of their special features are more advanced than I would prefer.

I got a couple of the CLx10's to have in my video bag when I don't have enough room to bring my other larger video lights. I can put these an a couple of accessories into a small Pelican case and everything fits in nice and neat. I've used these on an outdoor video shoot for a person and just wanted to add a little fill for the shadows. I was impressed with the power and also the adjustability of the intensity of the lights. Small and compact, yet very powerful and perfect for my kind of work! I can't wait to use them again and now knowing what I have at my disposal, it makes me feel a lot more confident when I'm shooting outdoors! :)

I thought it was me !

I thought I didn’t know what I was doing.. the battery dies in less than an hour on any mode. I have been stranded twice without a light. I am super frustrated with this expensive bike light. I checked operating procedures , charge times etc, nothing worked.. Would never recommend it. When I saw others are having the same problem I at least felt better it wasn’t operator error. Like many others, unhappy with the product, do your research.

Helpful and quick customer service

I had a few questions regarding my new Stella Pro Reflex S and I got a quick answer from the assistance team and a very attentive follow up from them.

They were very nice and make sure all my questions were answered correctly and the problem solve. Very happy to deal with such a great team ! And I love my product more and more!!
