This light adds more than 1/2 lb to the bike! Everyone's needs are different, but this isn't for me. Replaceable batteries and light weight. I have to ride hills and it's tough enough--especially with my years! You know, look after the ounces and the pounds will take care of themselves.

yirgsI'm a weight weenie myself but.... This is an off road worthy 1800lumen light, half a pound or 250 grams is light weight for a light with this power. The weight is in the batteries and its a tradeoff of power, endurance and weight. To make it reliable and able to maintain brightness it requires heat dissipation which means more weight in the form of metal surface area. It's unfair to criticize this kind of light for its weight when there is no equal that is of any significant weight savings. Buy a cheap plastic light that puts out a max 200lumen if weight is an issue. Its kinda like criticizing a V8 4x4 for being a pig on gas.
