The light works well and provides good visibility in dark conditions, but the mount is less than optimal. In basic street riding, the light has detached from the mount multiple times and flown off my handlebars - leaving if scratched up and surely reducing it's lifecycle. I'm already in the habit of regularly checking the light while riding to avoid any more tumbles when I should be focusing on the ride. I've tested NiteRider mounts at other stores and found plenty with similar attachment issues so I'm thinking this is more of a design flaw than one-off.
Just had a mountain bike crash while using this light, it flew of the mount. Luckily found the light since it was on at the time. It does not "click" in place when you slide it onto the mount, you have to physically push the lever up to get it to click and set into the light's notch, otherwise the light just slides back off. Even after "clicked" in, it does not take much to remove it. Definitely don't leave the light on the mount when not turned on, you'll probably not find it if you crash during the day unless it is sitting in the middle of the trail. I am also still testing how long this light lasts... have mostly used it on medium, and it still dies after only a couple hours. Doubt "high" or "medium" mode last as long as it states. Does light up the trail nicely while it is attached and working at least.
