The overall design and functionality of this light are lovely. The light easily removes from the handlebar mount for recharging. The handlebar bracket itself is metal and is sturdy. Your light will never droop or shift while you ride; it is absolutely secure. It is not the kind of mount that you can adjust while riding, however. The horizontal beam pattern of this light is great and it puts out a lot of light. I found, however, that the actual running time of this light is less than half of that claimed in the product description, which is somewhat alarming. On full blast, it goes from freshly charged to 'red' in a half hour. For me that means that when commuting, I have to charge it before leaving for work, and then again while at work for the ride home. I can imagine this means that it will have a short lifespan, which is unfortunate because it's pretty well designed in every other way.
