Bright, White and versitile – Flood-to-Throw Zooming Cree P4-WC 3-Mode LED Bike Light with Mount (3*AAA) Reviews

Pros:
This is a very good flashlight or bike light. On the bike it gets you noticed in flood mode and if you need the throw then just wind the lens out for a small but very bright spot. This is very tiny but powerfull and is regulated so should have a good run time. I have used for about 1hr on the same rechargable aaa batts and light is still excellent. If you half hold in the switch for 5 seconds a 'flashing' mode is selected. Half depress it on off to return to normal mode.
Cons:
The number of winds from spot to flood is about 10, not as suggested a half turn or so... this does stop it altering by accident though.. so not a big problem. The light is held onto the bike via thumb screws which is good for the user, but also good for anyone who would like to steal them.
Other:
As it is a regulated power supply you do get some interesting effects when looking at running water etc is the dark. (strobe affect).
Bottomline:
A very nice flashlight, and for the casual rider, a very good bike light.
