Thanks for the info! I've used the flash mode during the day but never used it at night. That's going to happen this weekend. :)

In full flash mode at night, you will easily be seen. I use that mode until I hit the MUP where it is pitch black, where I switch it to just a solid light.

They don't project much light to see the road by

I have one that's 2 years old, the strap broke. Knog Australia sent me a new one within a couple days for free.
Gotta love a company like that.

Top Gear top tip, when your knog elastic band breaks, just use a small hairtie to loop around instead, my front broke like a year ago and haven't had any issues.

don't know how that would work unless you go around the front of the light?

You will get a light to seem brighter, the closer to the Ground it is .. top of your Head is a Long ways Off ..

Foot - Candle Power is a Way that relative brightness is calculated ..

Ignore the scotch tape job, no stores were open on Christmas.

Ive got this light and its just amazing. The thing that really really sucks about it is that its kind of a chore to take it on and off in addition to the weird mounting dealio with rubber straps.. Great value other wise and highly recommended!

I have this light. It's... bright. (brighter than the headlamps on my Miata, actually]
