FR1100 review

I now own a second Ravemen front light because I’ve come to trust the brand after a number of years now. The light is well built and feels solid. I’ve now done about 30 night rides on high beam since I bought the light. The battery life matched what the maker claims. I’ve also done a few day rides, and the Daytime warning light is certainly eye-catching as advertised. I love that it attaches easily to my Garmin mounts and sits neatly under the bike computer for a clean handlebar look. The beam is wide and even, more like a car headlight than a narrow spotlight. That wider spread helps me see the road ahead better, although it may make very distant objects harder to spot when riding fast downhill on rough or very dark terrain. Overall, I’m very happy with this light and would recommend it to anyone who wants a compact, well-made front light with reliable battery life and a smooth, useful beam pattern.

Great visibility in changing light conditions

Great for daytime visibility. I keep the flashing light on during most daytime rides, but it feels especially useful on tree-lined country roads with changing light and shadow, under bridges, or at dusk. I feel much more visible to drivers, and I’ve had the impression that oncoming cars are less likely to attempt risky overtakes when they can spot me earlier. It also seems to help when drivers are turning onto my road and only take a quick glance before pulling out.

Its great but i would love to have a wahoo mount (downside) would be included. Now i changed all my mounts to garmin but from now on i‘m forced to always have the light mounted first
