I bought this light in July for $30. The price is down to $16 now. It's heavier and much brighter than that Xanes light. It has a round beam. It seems very solid. Battery life is excellent.

Paniolo, I found the taillight mode of the SFL-01 to be useless. It's very dim. But I otherwise like it very much as a headlight. I've bought six or eight of them!

Well I've bought about eight of these Xanes SFL-01 headlights. The last two I bought by accident because I had forgotten that two were already on the way. One of them seems defective. It's a weird...

It takes a long time to receive it after ordering. I highly suggest buying two.

They are cheaply made. One of mine has a USB charging port that is a little crooked. Don't expect it to last like a...

Of the cheap headlights I've tried, the best one by far is one of the cheapest, the Xanes XLF-01. You can get it for $16.60 on Amazon...

You can learn to aim it out of people's eyes. My eyes gravitate to a round beam's hot spot which is in the center, not where I want to be looking. But they work for some people.

Yeah it is pretty astonishing. I used one of those torches as a headlight and found it to be awful. It's weird to me that so many people are satisfied with them. To each his own.

And I don't know...

Which part is surprising, the good or the bad? I suppose I should stock up on them and expect them to fail every couple of months, and I've still spent less than on good lights. But if I don't stock...

I finally received mine last week. It shipped out from Thailand. OK, whatever.

I've tested it once or twice.

The bad:

It feels flimsy, but maybe I'm not being fair.

It has five modes, and...

Lots of people mount their lights on their heads. It works well for them. It's important not to shine them in people's faces, so if you're conscious of that, it can work out well.

That's up to you and your particular needs. But you should know that battery quality varies, especially among rechargeables. A good USB rechargeable battery should last three years.

I've tried a whole lot of bike lights as well as modern flashlights with mounts. I've cheaped out too many times. A light designed for a bike is best for me, even though it costs a lot more. I need...

I carry one almost every time I go out now, mostly because my phone battery has lost a lot of capacity, and it's nowhere near time to replace the phone. But yes, you can use it with your lights. Some...

You could increase your budget or decrease your lumens requirement or both. My headlight is probably dimmer than most lights discussed here, but it's good enough for me. I can go 15 mph comfortably,...
