Pros & Cons
Pros
This is much brighter than lights that claim to be > 2000 lumins. The only thing that i would like to see improve is the mount between the light and the bracket. It's nice and bright and easily lights up a good 30 meters in front of me.
This configuration gives me exactly what i need for city riding. It's great to know that i can detour into a darkened park or onto rough terrain. The strobe light is excellent for the daytime commute home.

Even and wide distribution of the light beam is a design detail that makes a big difference for visibility and to retain night vision for the rider which is ruined if the center is a hot spot

I dont use the flashing modes and having experienced them from oncoming cyclists id say theyre probably far more dangerous than helpful

The light can pivot slightly left and right which is nice but unfortunately the screw that holds the pivoting plate comes loose after its been moved back and forth a couple times i havent done it yet but im thinking adding some blue threadlocker may fix this issue
