It's pretty slick looking. At 200 lumens it's probably bright enough when flashing for front daytime visibility, barely. It's kind of expensive compared to the cheap Chinese stuff, but it's really pretty reasonable for a name-brand, compact, one piece light. Also though I have a Knog taillight, I'm not thrilled with the mounting system. It works well on a bar or seat post but it completely fails if you need to mount anywhere else.

For nighttime "see" not "be seen" use, I consider 200 lumens to not really be bright enough. I could ride with only 200 lumens, I have in the past, but when I have to do so I feel like I'm peeking through a keyhole, and often feel that I'm outrunning my lights.
