LED Safety Light - Clip On to Stay Safe and Be Seen at Night - Great for Running, Walking, Kids, Dogs, Hiking, Camping or Bike - USB rechargeable, Super Bright, Compact and Lightweight

Since LWA is so keen for my review, having contacted me (by preprogrammed logic, I assume) twice to write one, here we go.Housing: The light unit itself, containing the LEDs, battery and all the electronics, only weighs 18g. The silicone slip case with the magnets outweighs it at 30g, bringing the total weight to 48g (which, by the way, is still less than 2 ounces). Tough as it may be, it's not a good balance. At least the option to use the light unit with a lightweight (preferably spring-loaded) clip, without compromising protection against the weather (such as by the use of a silicone cap on the USB port), would have given it more of a practical and marketing advantage. In its current form, the only real advantage I see is that silicone is less likely than a hard plastic or metal clip to cause chafing of the fabric when rubbing against some delicate compression tops.Power source: It surely has to be a joke for the manufacturer to ‘recommend’ and expect users keep a precious USB port free on their laptops to charge something that does not require a data link. Just let us know the amperage or wattage range that the product is engineered to handle! Most of us have so many USB wall chargers these days for anything from 500mA, 700mA, 1A, etc. all the way up to 2.4A. What is the most current it can handle and by which charging can be fastest and hardest without the product blowing up or getting damaged?Charging time: First, the (sorta) good – it takes just over two hours to fully charge the product from flat, using a smart-switching USB wall charger capable of supplying up to 2.4A where required, even though the light would stay on (more on that later) for about five hours in High mode before switching itself off. However… if the unit is fully charged, and you unplug it and the plug it back in ten minutes later, the battery indicator remains green; if you so much as switch it on for five seconds cycling through High, Medium, Low and Flashing and then back off again, it'll take over six minutes to fully recharge. I have never seen any other rechargeable light behave like that! Oh, if you leave it on for about six minutes on High, it takes just over half an hour to fully recharge; if you leave it on for fifteen minutes, it takes about an hour to fully recharge. (That makes the ‘recommendation’ or requirement for charging only on a USB port on a laptop even more ridiculous.)Modes: The only Flashing mode offered by the product, as noted in another customer's review, flashes SOS in morse code. That's not a good look when I'm running along poorly lit paths along Sydney Harbour, since ships' crew and the water police may get rather confused (and unamused) seeing the flashing signals from a distance. That makes the Flashing mode practically unusable for me unless there was a real emergency. That in itself is not a big issue, because I bought this product on the selling point that it is very bright, and can be used as a ‘seeing’ light to illuminate one's environment and/or path while running.Brightness: Yes, the light is bright as advertised – but only for the first several minutes after you switch it on, even on a full charge (and then some). The first thing I did when I received the product was to test its battery life in High mode, since I cannot find any mention of expected battery life in any of the non-flashing modes. (Lone Wolf Active can really learn from other light manufacturers such as Blackburn, Cateye and Lezyne on this.) When I first switched the light on with a full charge, it was so bright that I couldn't look at it (as I've been warned) directly, so I placed it facing the wall to run the battery down and check the battery life. Two hours went by, and I noticed that the wall was barely lit, even though the light itself was still demonstrably on. In fact, it took five hours before the unit switched itself off, and then I could still switch it back on and see some light for a few minutes, before it switched itself off again. I had no real means to test the light's actual performance while it remained on for five hours, so… I ended purchasing a (unbranded LX-1010B) light meter, which arrived yesterday, and also downloaded an app to allow me to use a spare mobile phone handset for time lapse photography. I taped the light sensor to one end of a 87.5cm-long mailing tube (for posters, blueprints and the like) facing into the tube's cavity, and then covered that end with a black cardboard box. I then placed the Night Eye facing upwards on the tiles, and stood the mailing tube vertically on top of and around it, blocking out all light. The light meter and a timer are attached to the outside of the tube to provide data, captured on time-lapse videos and transcribed onto a spreadsheet.After a few trials, the attached charts are what I produced from the data. Consistently, starting from a full charge, in High mode the Night Eye drops to about 85% of its initial brightness after just five minutes, 70% at the 10-minute mark, then below 50% at the 18-minute mark. It stabilises at about 25% of its initial brightness at the 25-minute mark, and stays above 20% for another 70 minutes until runtime has reached 1h35m, after which it drops rapidly to completely unusable levels.25% of bright is pretty useless when running on otherwise unlit paths, when the only illumination is coming from the moon, lights across the water, and the street lamps up on the road above on the hill. I've run once with it in the twilight to light my path, and was not impressed. The hazards I face are not cars or even bicycles whose drivers or riders may not see me, but potholes or physical objects on the ground, or stray tourists who are too absorbed by their cameras' or phones' LED screens to notice anything less than an in-your-face torch, so even ‘be seen’ lights need a lot of oomph to work in my use case.I've yet to do the chart from testing another (what I think is) comparable product: 50g in weight, for all weather conditions, rated at 100 lumens and 3.2 hours runtime in High mode, and which I bought for the same amount of money as the price at which Amazon was selling the Night Eye. However, when I was checking on the trial set-up from time to time just now, after 3.2 hours the competition was still working at 70% of its initial brightness, even though the Night Eye in High mode was initially brighter (which makes sense, since the Night Eye is rated at 150 lumens).The Night Eye product seemed to have so much promise going by the blurb, and I suppose the general design intent is good, but operationally it's an epic fail.

This light is very bright! I run at 5AM and the roads and trails I use are pitch black. This products lights EVERYTHING up! I feel so much safer knowing what's around me and I don't run with the anxiety of wondering when I'll catch the next spiderweb to my face! I love this light!

I AM very satisfied with the Night Eye. It gives out an excellent bright light -- with the highest intensity, it must be at least 100-200 ft but it lights up the road ahead of me about 100 yards. It's easy to attach to clothing or a belt, whatever. I use it for running (I exercise very early in the morning when it's dark, and on roads with no street lights). I use the lowest steady for that and it's enough to to see the road. I love that it doesn't have all those billion of settings I'd have to cycle through and fumble with the button while running to change setting or turn the thing on/off. It's much easier to change settings or turn on/off than with other lights I've every used. Then I also use it to "de-slug" my tomato plants. I have a bad infestation problem, and they feed on the tomatoes at night, so after running, when it's still dark (and usually drizzles), they out in force. So I use the high intensity light to look through the plants and pluck the guys off he plants (then I pour salt over them, poor guys...). Anyway, the light works great. I bought an additional one to take it to a mountain cabin where I go out in the dark to a shack where the fire wood is stored to bring more in. It'll be great to collect wood and such jobs that don't take too long but need very bright light. One thing though: the battery life is not very long on the high intensity setting. It starts dimming after 1-1 1/2 hours or so.

I've ran with it 3 times for my short 5 mile runs and it lasted for 2 of them. Light started to dim out on my second run and I turned it off and on the 3rd run died completely on my 3rd. Battery life doesn't last as long as a headlight. The light is bright in the beginning. My biggest issue with it is where to clip it? I don't wear a hat when it's dark outside--no sun to block. I don't tuck in my running shirt when I run so I can't clip it to my waist line, it's too heavy to clip to the top of my shirt. So I finally found the strap of my running belt that I only wear 50% of the time and it moves around when I run so I constantly have to readjust. The magnet however is strong

Very bright light. Wide spread. Thought the magnet clip was very clever when I was ordering. In practice though, not so great. It's not really long enough to attach to my bike (which is aluminum) and too heavy to clip to the top of a shirt. Searching for a better method to mount this bad boy.Update 03/2017: Mowing the yard. Getting dark. Grabbed my magnet light! Put in on front of the mower. Genius! Worked like a charm. Finding more and more ways to use this thing. Still on the first charge!Update 04/17: Use this all the time now. Still on the first charge! Probably gonna order a few more. So glad we have the technology for things like this now.

The performance of this light is excellent, it's plenty bright, especially on the maximum settings.I've tried it already for walking at night in poorly lit streets, and it allowed me to walk with confidence on uneven pavement.It illuminates the path for about 2 meters ahead, with even and wide beam.However the usability of the device will leave you wanting.- the magnetic book is too short to wrap around but the smallest of straps or belts- the light is turned on with a single touch of the switch (instead of a more logical long press), which means that it's very easy to turn it on by mistake and therefore drain the battery, and it requires pressing the button 4 (!) times in order to turn it off- it does not remember neither the mode (steady on, or blinking) nor the brightness level- the default positioning inside the rubber casing , with the button and USB socket hidden is completely impractical because it's pretty tricky to pull out, which basically means you will always leave it inserted in the opposite way, with button and USB exposedIf you need a well performing light for night walking I certainly would not let the above issues discourage you from getting this otherwise fine product, but they do detract from the final rating.

I bought these for dark mornings walking the dog, after buying numerous light up dog collars, and them all failing miserably. These are easily attachable to my dogs harness with the magnetic clip, and I can see her from the other side of the field, even on the darkest of mornings. They are very, very bright.The only slight downside is if they need charging they don't warn you, they just turn off. They don't seem to get dimmer, they are just on one moment, and off the next, which isn't ideal. But when they are charged they do a top job.

Bought this light to fit on my wife's rucksack. Measures approx 2½" x 2", with a matrix of 3 x 3 high intensity "Cree" type diodes. The main unit comes in a close fitting, water resistant silicone rubber case which has a magnetic flap - strong enough to lock through a t-shirt. Charging cable provided, but your Kindle/tablet charger will do the job. Fiddly to get out of case for charging but not insurmountable. Other reviewers have decided to have the charging socket permanently exposed by reversing insertion direction, but this compromises water resistance. The single control cycles through 5 switch settings; "visible from outer space", bright, slightly less bright, "SOS" flashing and off. It's hard to realise how such a small unit can produce so much light. Literally "BRILLIANT"

This light is insanely bright. As in don't hold it near your face when testing it out, you will blind yourself. So far it's lasted ages, I do hour long walks every night and it lasted for an hour and a half on full beam the first time I used it. My only gripe about this which stops me from giving it full stars is the clasp. I only walk and I find it annoying finding some place to attach it onto so I can see the ground easily. The magnetic clasp isn't great for attaching to clothes and often fell off. I have tried attaching to all sorts and the easiest way to attach it at the moment is if I wear a jacket with front facing pockets. I'm going to get a length of fabric so I can it around my waist to keep it in place more securely.

so powerful very good the cars tht drive through village at night blind me with full beam and my dog now soon as they see it they dim ,has dif settings and a flashing one very powerful love way can put into top zipper and close magnet, it helped with power cut in village last night too,bottom line AMAZING
