And it’s Amazon. You can return it if you don’t like it. But I guarantee you this light will blow your Cygolite into the weeds.
IF that light was 2600L (it isn't) there is no way it could run for more than 10 minutes with the size battery that it has. That's simple physics. In actual fact, my Cygolite is not the only light I am using. It is the one that goes on my helmet, and most of the time it is at 2/3 power. Same thing holds there.2x18650 cells can only run but so long at full power, at any power really. My main lights are on the bars. Two MagicShine 808 lightheads, and two 4x18650 Gemini batterypacks. MagicShines are Lupine (German) knock-off's. Lupines are $500USD. Amazon sells knock-off MagicShines! Knock-off's of knock-off's. That's what your light is, and I've been around the block and I am not tempted. You do get what you pay for. You do not need an ultra-wide beam pattern. That just throws light where you may not want it. All my lights can be considered 'beamy' or 'spotty'. That is good, because the Cygolite at least, can be aimed where I want to see, and there is no stray light going into drivers' eyes.
