City Rover 700 USB Headlight
The City Rover 700 USB Headlight from Portland Design Works is a rechargeable headlight with a powerful lithium-ion battery and a bright Cree LED bulb that illuminate the road ahead for improved visibility and safety on your commute or night ride. The precision reflector brightens your field of vision out front and to the sides for up to 2 hours on high, 8 hours on low, or 36 hours in flash mode. In case of a low battery, the City Rover will run for an additional 15 minutes in low power safety mode after the low battery indicator light comes on. The lumens and burn times are FL1-certified, and the light uses a Texas Instruments circuit for long-term durability.

Does not fit standard road handlebars
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
Purchased this item and the light itself seems bright, it charged quickly enough but it is totally useless because the strap will not fit standard road handlebars. If I put it on a bar which tapers, like my wife's comfort hybrid, it barely fits in front of the grips. Probably a good light, but a non-functional mount.

Brightest bike light in my experience
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
The low setting is still so bright that I hope other traffic is not blinded. I like the slow pulse setting. The charging is via USB-C, cord not included, and now I must carry yet another cord when I bike tour. One day maybe all my lights will be usb-C?
