• 3 AAA Batteries included

For the price ($20 approx) this thing easily outperforms anything else I've found on the market in the same pricerange and Blackburn backs it with a lifetime warranty. Even better - a combination of two is EXTREMELY effective and still doesn't break the bank.
The only criticism I might make is that like most consumer lights - this one isn't waterproof.
This light is a piece of junk! The only way it is useful, is for oncoming traffic on a road/bike path to see you. But when it comes to seeing debris or cracks in the road, well before potentially running over them, this light is no good!! I have run over bumps/cracks in the road, that this light never picked up, even if I had the light angled to the ground!!
