The first one I got really did stay on for two hours at high power, which is the rating.
For others who don't know, we are talking about
this light. Search for "xanes bike light" because the price varies rapidly.
I ordered 3. Your lighting requirements are more robust than mine...I like the auto feature, it’s a good match to the Spanninga rear lights I got. If they are as bright as you say and they hold up I think I’ll be happy.
