It's there, but it's very dim. Hard to see even in normal room light - shines through the button cover.

It looks like we all have great taste (I have the 200 and the Ravemen, and a big Lezyne when I need to actually see instead of be seen).

Blue Lug have some different cool options if someone is thinking of getting one and looking for something unique.

I have a similar light by Fabric called Lumaray. Looks pretty much the same. I use to almost every ride as a "To be seen" light rather than my own vision in the dark.

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.
Does it come with the GoPro mount? Or, is that an extra purchase?

The Ion 200 does not come with the GoPro style mount, only the band mount. I 3D printed mine for about $.03 worth of material in 5 minutes. Biontrager sells their versions for $9.99

Just got my Ravemen light. Haven't used it yet, but can't see why it won't be good enough.
For Wahoo users, make sure you order the light and adapter as ONE unit, not the Garmin version plus adapter (ask me how I know). The single package comes with the same adapter, but appears to have the part for the bottom of the light screwed onto the light so it can be changed. The Garmin version, at least the one I got, does not. So if you put it onto your mount, it is sideways.
Luckily, I use a slightly modified Garmin mount for my Wahoo, and simply rotated the puck in the mount back to the garmin orientation. Seems to fit and hold fine

From countries that ride a lot:

Germany's StVZO bike light regulations dictate that flashing bike lights are not permitted on either the front or rear of a bike. The regulations state this is because flashing patterns can be distracting to other road users. Flashing bikes are also outlawed in the Netherlands

Ive got a ravemen, and like its versatility. Def a daytime seen type of light vs seeing. Have other lights (cygolite, lezyne, niterider) for when I want to actually see. etc. Lives mainly on my road bikes.

Interesting to read about international regulations regarding blinky lights, can get behind that.
