Anyone use this Front blinky?

[makoti]

I don't want to call it a light. It's just to be seen, but I need to get something for my bike. Bar space is very limited with my riser bars. The cables off the hoods are forcing the one I have into a strange orientation. This looks like it will do the trick, if it's not total trash.
I use a Wahoo that I altered the mount on my Garmin mount. I'm assuming I can do the same with this? (They do sell an adapter for a whopping $4, so I may just do that)

I do! I just got it a month ago. Works great. Brighter than expected but not as bright as some others I've used. For the money, I'm VERY pleased with it.

I don't use a front Blinky but I am always amazed when I see one coming. It really is quite noticeable

How does it hold the Garmin (assuming you use it for that)? Nice and solid?

me too. the male and female quarter turn attachments are at least Garmin quality and work great either with your Garmin mounted on top. Or if you have a Garmin mount with female on top and male on the bottom works just as good. Snappy.

I just got a bar fly flipper out front mount for my apto 3t stem and am hoping with this light I can use it flipped down and it’ll stack nice and even with the bar like it does when flipped up with just the computer attached. If not will use a GoPro light and relegate this to another bike.

Ok then.
Ordered.
Thanks for the feedback

I use this. I tested it successfully for over five hours on blink mode, and it works well. USB-C. Very visible from many angles.

It can be a little distracting on a darker ride, as it bleeds a bit to the rider (at least at the angle that my Garmin is mounted).

I've considered buying a second one and putting it vertically on the back behind my Varia. The side visibility is nice.

In daytime, I run my Cateye Volt 1300 headlight on the steady+blinky mode for visibility. In the dark, it's only steady.

I've been using this as well, for almost a year now, as a daylight blinkie. In the dark I use an additional stronger front light. I don’t think its as good as the Bontrager Flare but I like that it doesn't take up any handlebar space.

I got one today a day late and it’s a very tight fit in my mount where i thought it was going to break it when inserting. I could see it scratched the screws a bit on the garmin adapter when inserting. My computer does not do this. Returning it..

I find the Bontrager Flare good but has a short run time - doesn’t last a good bike ride.

I really like the Bontrager Ion 200 I have under my Garmin 530.
If my mount didn't offer a GoPro style mount, I'd take a look at the OPs posted product if it didn't make the computer sit up so high.

That is a sharp bike! I also have the bontrager 200 and have been quite happy with it.

I also noticed there is no charge indicator on the ravemen when plugged in. Maybe i missed it though.
