In a year and a half of use including in heavy rain, not a single flicker. Works solid. When I decided I would commute year-round on this bike and needed something brighter, I splurged on dynamo lighting and expensive German lights.

Bike not included .

Geesh, that got claimed quickly. I had no idea there would be so much demand for this... I should start making these to sell .

In all fairness I'm giving it to the first person who contacted me. If I don't get back to you it means you were beat to it. Thanks for all the inquiries.
