I have that light on my bike. Quite happy with the side visibility.

What about water resistance? I've read some complaints that this light cannot handle the rain. What is your experience with this?

It's good to post again. Yes, I still have Cancer. I might be off the bike for another 3+months. (The post is for my wife's bike.) Can't wait until I get better and I don't have to do Chemo anymore!!

I would not take it swimming but I ride routinely in the rain and never had an issue with the water leakage.

That's pretty neat. If they made that with a USB rechargable battery I'd buy one.
