This is a great torch, a bit expensive but I think it’s worth the money.
The knurling in the handle makes it easy to hold, the default light is very bright, I’ve only used it on the General setting but even on low power (2 clicks) it was well bright enough for me to use following the dog around in a large garden at night.
I would thoroughly recommend this torch, I had an older model in which the batteries leaked and ruined and in some ways I’m glad as it gave me an excuse to buy the ML300LX
The spares appear and perform just like the original battery. Battery life seems good .. lasted about a month of evening dog walking 5 -7 hrs seems in line with spec. Prompt delivery after notfication that they were back in stock. I also feel reasonable price given its a slightly exotic size.
I bought loads of so called bright torches they were all Chinese rubbish but the bullet and paid a bit more for a maglite the best thing I have done so to any one that want a light that works we’ll get a maglite
It has all the important features a bike light needs to have:
1. Strong light, with multiple modes
2. Cut-off beam, so you don’t blind other road users
3. Weatherproof, rugged design
4. Replaceable battery, so you don’t have to replace the whole light when it dies. This also means you can carry a backup battery on longer trips
5. A great mount that can attach to either the handlebars or a GoPro mount, and the light can attach the mount upside down, so the power button and battery indicator always face you
I have a few torches (number needed in life = current number +1) -but this is by far and away the best. The 'boost' light button is amazing! I like the slim pocket size and it has performed faultlessly so far. Might have to buy another ;-)
