Xeccon's Geina III - Mini Bicycle Light Set

Geinea III - MINI bike light

I want to purchase a set of these lights, but I cannot get Xeccon E-Mails to work to answer some questions I have first.

Are they out of business?

Is Geinea III - MINI bike light set a quality set of bicycle lights?

Does Geinea III - MINI bike set of lights work for the following questions:

Can it be attached to bicycle helmets? How?

I live where it rains hard, lightening everywhere and strong winds all the time.

How durable really is the lights? How water proof really is the lights?

For a short period I was given some of their lamps to test for review purposes ( at no cost to myself ). One of those was the first Geinea 1 series ( rear ). I've been using it on my road set-up for about a year now. Very, very bright rear light. I've had some problems with the remote switch but nothing that I couldn't fix by repositioning the button. My biggest complaint is the mounting system which is simply just Velcro. To make it point straight back I had to add some rubber shimming to lift it up a bit. Works fine but an adjustable mount for the seat post would been nice to have.

On my last ride I noted that the lamp got really hot. These things are about the size of a P-60 torch drop-in so they don't have a lot of metal for heat sinking. As to how they hold up to water I really couldn't say. I have yet to encounter any rain while riding at night. While I like the rear version of the Geinea I don't think I'd go with a front version. For a front light I just like more light although I'm sure the front version could work for someone just looking for a commuter based front lamp. Now as to durability, I really can't say as I haven't owned it for very long but the simplicity of the design would lead me to believe that it might not last that long. On the up-side the units come with very good batteries. ( Samsung )

BTW a Geinea III is not something I see listed on the ( vendor ) website. If there's a III it's news to me.
