Great Beam Pattern (When it Works)
If you buy a TAZ, keep your receipt as you will likely need to warranty. They are notorious for failing. I have two that died - they dim, then go black and will not take a charge after that. I suspect it is poor heatsink design affecting the circuit board.
I own both a 1200 and a 1500 (both dead). I own an Urban 850Trail and an Urban 1000 (both working).
Light&Motion make the best beam pattern, but I calculated cost/ride for my Taz @ $2/ride. . .
If you lose your receipt or are out of warranty, they will fix your light for $70+shipping - maybe not a bad deal. . or give you 30% off the retail on a new light (that comes with another 2 year warranty). . . They do have good customer service, I just wish I hadn't had to use it so much.
