Excellent product but beware
Pros: High Quality, Lightweight, very bright
"Great product with excellent visibility, which is even better when using the rechargeable batteries. It is also good that it can be set to 'pulse' which is more pleasing to the eye than 'flashing'.
One gripe: The light is activated/deactivated by screwing/unscrewing the waterproof seal. If you leave the light attached but not switched on when cycling in the rain, moisture gets into the device which causes malfunction- ie replacement required."

Super bright light, fittings not so clever
"As many other people have said, the light itself is amazingly bright and provides a clever "pulse" function rather than flashing on and off.
But ... the fittings will only attach the light to a seatpost so that it points downwards with no adjustability, and the plastic screw threads used to access the battery seem a little dodgy.
Maybe if I had an 80 degree triathlon-type seat tube and infinite patience on a cold dark night it might be just perfect."

Bright & Clear
Pros: High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, super bright, piercing
Cons: battery is expensive
"This is a very effective rear light, it is piercing and following motorists won't miss it. Not great for the wheel suckers but c'est la vie."

Nice light
Pros: High Quality, Lightweight
"I used to use a RedEye with my Main front lights but found it hard to manage, battery wise, for longer rides. This solves it"

great for the road bike
Pros: Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
Cons: Expensive, poor battery life
"tool free set up made his quick and easy to put on my racing bike. Secured around the seatpost on carbon frame with no hassle and more straight forward than all the previous options tried.
It is bright and makes me feel like I will be seen when cycling down these country lanes in the dark.
It does use unusual battery size though and battery life is not as good as some though have found cheap online retailer for these."

Super bright generally awesome rear light
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Rugged, High Quality, Adjustable, Versatile, Good Fit
Cons: switching between functions can be tricky
"I make a 30 mile rural commute eMy mention of the GP is not meant to scare you!! veryday. I was going through expensive lithium batteries fast in much smaller alternative led lights. I needed something bright and economical to run. I have rechargeables but currently using the supplied disposable...12hrs and still going strong. The light easy to mount and remove even when wearing thick gloves. There are slight issues switching between modes but that could just be me not being used to the twist function. To access the battery the top/ lense is removed by unscrewing the plastic thread, mine crossed on the first fix. Again possibly me but something to be careful with. Above all this is a phenomenal light, tough, attractive and uber bright. Highly recommended. You cannot fail to be seen."

Beware
Pros: Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Wears Out Easily
"I'm not going to add to the previous reviews which are spot on. However, I've had mine a while and the big weakness this has is that the LED housing you have to unscrew to get at the battery is very easy to mis-thread when putting it back on. Over time this gets damaged and eventually breaks. Currently you can't get a replacement so would have to by a whole new light.
It is a design flaw as the body is metal so the plastic part is always going to be a point of weakness.
Shame, as it is a great little light."

Top bit of kit but eats batteries
Pros: Durable, Good Fit, very bright
"Great item, easy to install and set up but remember to switch off!! It eats batteries and as such I'd recommend going for the rechargable option.
Very bright. My firend could easily pick me out from some distance in mist and fog on top of Kirkstone Pass"

Pros: High Quality
"This is one of the better lights I've had. Light, bright and robust. The fitting is easy and quick and despite worries regarding it falling off it hasn't moved at all. I may be imaging it but I've been given a little more space on the road on the daily commute."

Fantastic rear light
Pros: High Quality
Cons: Expensive
"Rear lights are in many ways more important than front for being seen by traffic. This light is expensive but worth it for its exceptional brighteness. Easy to turn on and off and pretty good battery life. Also easy to move from bike to bike. Highly recommended."

A superb rear light
Pros: High Quality, Rugged, Good Fit
"Great piece of kit - so good that I bought another, but this time a wired version to link to my front light. Like all Exposure products, this light really does the job. Great design and superb performance and I use it in daytime in Autumn and Winter as well as at night. It's so bright that it does the daytime job really well. However, if you are going to use the battery powered version, I suggest that you buy the re chargeable batteries and charger as you'll use this light so much that even the long battery life that you get becomes a frustration."

Brilliant little light
Pros: High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive
"Very portable easy to use and very bright. Excellent in flash or constant mode.
Best to buy the rechargeable batteries as these give a brighter (but shorter lasting) light."

Quality Rear Light
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
"Great light-for all round use- Easy to fit and operate-would also recommend the Saddle Rail Fitting- as I use a rear mud guard. Very good strong build and has that quality feel about it."
