    Comments about Nathan LED Safety Strobe:

    Excellent visibility at a distance. Wide variety (eight or more?) of attention-getting flash/scroll/strobe modes in addition to very visible steady-on mode. Button on upper back of light is easy to locate by touch in the dark. Almost zero weight. Very visible from sides, at least 180', and for at least many hundreds of yards. Good commuter helmet light, too. Great battery life, and it's fine with rechargables. I haven't had any problems on the bumpiest roads with the light turning itself off, so if that was a problem, they must have fixed it. I bought two, and am ordering more.
    This is a clip-only light (not a safety-pin-on style), designed to attach to straps, clothing, backpacks, helmet straps, etc. Doesn't come with specific hardware to attach to bike rack or seatpost (but you can improvise; keep reading). The clip is not extremely strong and does not clasp tightly enough to be sure it won't fall off (joggers be aware). However if attaching to a strap, as I do on the rear of my helmet where I have a 6-LED forehead headlight strapped around the helmet rim, I first clip it to the back of the helmet strap then pass a rubber band vertically behind the strap,and bring the top and bottom of the rubber band out and over the top and bottom of the light, which tensions it in place & works well. Same will work with backpack straps, waist belts, etc. A great light & good value for the price. Haven't had it out in a marathon downpour yet, but it holds up fine through the prolonged medium drizzles I've been out in so far. Love this light; 4 stars; when they improve the clip this will be the ultimate 5 star helmet/clip light.Thanks, Nathan.

    Light Turns Off When Bounced

        Comments about Nathan LED Safety Strobe:

        Great clip for versatiltiy. Too bad the designers forgot to program a two second delay for "Off." At every bump on the road, the back-mounted switch turns your safety light off. You think you are safe while riding, but your light has turned off.

        Comments about Nathan LED Safety Strobe:

        This is a great bike tail-light for the price. It was so nice that it was stolen while I went into the store to buy a bottle of water :) - I did forget to remove it; it is small and compact.

        I have not changed the batteries - I had it for 3 or 4 years (city commuter and recreational cyclist on weekends).
