It seems well built, the on off button has a solid click to it, which is nice. It is relatively inexpensive.<\/p>\n<p>But I just don&#8217;t think it works very well on my helmet. I keep checking for the light in store windows and in the reflection of cars but it just doesn&#8217;t seem that bright.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, I think I&#8217;d have to say skip this light.  I&#8217;d like to try out the Planet Bike Blaze or the new Light and Motion Vega 200.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After I got the Lumotech IQ Fly light I sold my Light and Motion Vega.
