I also have ...Enjoyed you review of the Lucidbrake. I also have one of them and I appreciate the tip of using a velcro strap. <br /><br />The 3M Dual Lock is very strong and secure only if you can find a flat spot. On a curved surface, the light can rock and pull off easily. How many flat spots does your bike have? Not many, I bet. Something more is needed.<br /><br />I also used mine on the back of the helmet. I have an urban style helmet, so it has a pretty good, nearly flat area on the back and I used the Dual Lock alone. While it does work, friends I was riding with told me that it often activated the brake light on bumps. I just couldn't see it to tell.<br /><br />I didn't feel the battery life was very good, either. I don't know whether it is because it is always sensing it's orientation in order to turn itself back on, or whether I was just careless with it, but I went through several sets of batteries in a short period of time. Many other lights I have used last a whole season on a set of alkalines.<br /><br />It's a lot of money for a light that isn't that bright, is kludgy in it's case and mounting system, eats batteries, and it's brake feature is basically a gimmick.<br /><br />What this light needs is for a company like Cateye or Serfas to take it, refine the design, put it in a decent case with a good mounting bracket, convert it to Li-ion power and use their economy of scale to sell it for about $40.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143976764972309425noreply@blogger.com
