When it showed up, I charged the battery and plug it in to test it out. For some reason the switch wouldn't work. So I called up Trail-tech directly, and within less then 2 minutes, they said that they would ship a new one out, and just to return the old one when the new one shows up. Great customer service
Shows up, second times a charm. Works great. The light is extremely bright. It is advertised at 1850 lumens, and although it may be slight over exaggeration, it does make my old NiteRider Sol mate look like a key chain flashlight.
First ride report: I go to school in the Northern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Go a minute out of town and its pitch black. Started the ride at 9 ish (sun sets at about 5:30 right now) I would say this light is nearly equivalent to my car's high beams. If you point it slightly down, it makes the road almost white, and you can pick out every detail. Point it slightly higher, and it throws lights for hundreds of yards. Road signs that were a half a mile up were illuminated.
Stay tune, I'll post some pictures on my next ride
