I wasn’t thinking when I ordered this light. I ordered it, but changed my mind a few hours later and tried to cancel the order. They told me it was shipped. I know that wasn’t true. If it was I’m dealing with the fastest service I’ve had in my entire life.
I asked how I can return the light, but no response of course.
The reason I wanted to cancel the order was, I have my GARMIN tilted up a little bit. I thought that would shine in the eyes of on coming traffic. I wrote them again and no response again.
The light was shipped two hours after I ordered it, but I still haven’t received it yet. Tomorrow Monday will be 8 days since I put the order in.
It may be a good light, but I’ll never deal with them again. It would cost more to ship it back, than it’s worth
Done with rant. Thanks for reading.

I have mine slightly tilted up. It won't be a problem to oncoming traffic. It does have various settings in case you want to tone it down some, but I almost always keep it at the brightest setting.

That's weird. On Amazon, for one example, the time span between ordering and shipping for Prime items can easily be as short as 30 minutes. Nobody's surprised by such fast service anymore.

Where does your GARMIN come into the picture? What does Garmin have to do with anything?

Even if it is just a rant, it still has to make sense.

That’s good to hear about the tilt. I do like the way it looks.
It stacks with the GARMIN. You put the light on your GARMIN mount and the GARMIN on top of the light.
I did see it on Amazon with the next day delivery but I had ordered it already.
i wouldn’t order anything from them again. I did write to them again, but no response again.

Um... Are you talking about their FR160 model? This seems to be the only one in their product lineup that "stacks with the GARMIN".

If you are talking about their FR160 model, then:

1. It would be a good idea to mention it in your post. Ravemen makes a lot of different headlights. We can't telepathically guess which one you are talking about.

2. Why do you even care how high it is tilted? FR160 is not really a "headlight". It is a to-be-seen-style front marker/blinker. It does not produce a directional beam. It produces diffuse light. It won't really shine into anyone's eyes regardless of how you orient it. It can be too bright, especially if you use the daytime strobe mode at night, but that applies regardless of how you orient it.

Umm...the FR160 *IS* directional in the vertical plane. And that's precisely why it does apply. The OP had a valid concern.

AndreyT

Not sure where you get this idea. I'm using FR160 myself. I don't observe any change in perceived brightness in a wide range of vertical angles.

I do on mine. YMMV

Hi Marke, if you can just ignore him. It’s hard but you can. Good luck and thanks for the help.

Imagine attempting to run a business selling your invention, but instead of simply buying your invention and enjoying it, all your customers constantly return their purchases because they "changed their minds", not because they found a defect in your invention, but simply because they "changed their minds".

You get an order. You pack the box. You print a shipping label from UPS.com. You drop off the box at UPS. Two hours later, the customer emails you. They have "changed their mind".

You close your shop and go to pick up your kids from school. You are in the school parking lot. Your phone buzzes. You look down. Someone has "changed their mind".

You get to your shop the next morning. You open up. You turn on your computer. You have new emails. You open your new emails. Two people have "changed their minds".

Holy f... kill me now...

George

Read the post again. Got it, good. Have a good day.
