Have been running the 2w since they came out and use rechargeable batteries which increases the run time considerably... like most lights the lower you mount it the better and I find it to be a decent light even when there is a good amount of ambient light.

I fabbed a light mount to lower my lights on my P20 tourer and this greatly increased the effectiveness of the 2watt which is paired up with a 10watt Nighthawk. I have a blinkie mounted on the bars as a "be seen" light.

The Nighthawk has a 3-4 hour run time on high and no flashing mode but will tun night into day.



By lowering the light the beam casts longer shadows and this is what alerts us to objects on the road as you see this first.
