One caveat: The lumen rating is way off. They don't put out 1200 lumens. More like 800. That's still very bright for a cheap light. Many "be seen (but not really)" lights cost much more than these.
+1. Been using these for years with various mounting rigs. Two random lights. One set wide and low and the other set narrow and high. 18650 batteries, chargers are cheap and you can carry and swap out as many as you need and if your cheap light fails you already have other batteries and chargers for your replacement. I've been using the same 2 cheap lights for 2 years so far and they also become lights I use around the house too.
