Dynamo Retro-Style Bullet Headlight with Visor, Chrome

After reading a couple of the mediocre reviews I was a little apprehensive to purchase -- but I am glad I did! It looks beautiful on my Huffy beach cruiser bike. Now people hoping for a real "motorcycle" headlight brightness will be disappointed but keep in mind this is basically a small flashlight running on 2 AA batteries not car headlight. Perfectly inline with my expectations. It does illuminate the road enough to see obsticles but most of all it'll help others to SEE YOU in low light. All around a great looking vintage style light that does exactly what the seller promises.

As long as you don't expect to use this as a functional light and buy just for looks it's great. If you want a real bike light this is not bright at all and is dangerous to use as your primary night riding or to be seen light, but it looks AWESOME

Perfect for vintage or vintage looking bikes and cruisers, be it for a restoration project or as an aftermarket addition. I bought it for my Nirve Fifty Three 3-speed cruiser.Outside look and finish of this light deserve five stars, and my recommendation! The body is all metal with a solid looking chrome finish (that's why it's relatively expensive)! It is much bigger than it looks on the picture.To open: Loosen up the knurled Phillips screw on the left side a few turns, then push the screw in, and the hinged front part will swing open. To close: snap shut, and tighten the screw.Despite the name it doesn't need a dynamo but works with 2 AA batteries and two old fashioned 3V flashlight bulbs. Alas, the electrics are pretty flimsy (therefore the 4 stars). Obviously this won't cut the mustard for long night rides on dark roads, so think about getting this light for the looks rather for heavy duty functionality.It could be converted to super-bright LED however, as the reflector is removable and there is plenty of space inside the body for a different battery pack, a better quality hi-low beam switch, and other hardware.

It looks and functions like a dollar store light. Cheap and badly thought out. Installed the batteries it, mounted it, tried it, watched it wobble and barely light the wheel, hated it, threw it in the trash. Caveat Emptor.

This light is nice and bright during daylight and works well for night riding. It has 2 LED lights. One for a Low Beam and One for a High Beam. The switch on top is a little touchy changing from low to High beams but once on the selection is made it just works. I mounted it on my 50 year old classic and it looks great and right at home!

I purchased this to go with a new (but old fashioned) shiny black chrome cruiser bike with other chrome accents. While it helped complete the look of the bike, the headlight beam barely makes a difference in illuminating the path ahead, at least in the streets where I ride, which already have illumination from streetlights.While the beam is not powerful, the unit still drains batteries rather quickly, especially compared to a secondary led light I have strapped to the handlebars. The Led light shines on even when I leave it going accidentally, while this has eaten its batteries after being left on once. This while the LED light easily shines a bright beam ahead. The light from this unit is only bright enough to work similarly to a front-end reflector, alerting cars to your presence.Even while off, the bright chrome and smooth lines of this light's chrome body helps spruce up a bike. Unfortunately, I purchased this as a light for my bike. What it turned out to be was a front fender ornament.

I bought this for my cruiser bike for Burning Man. it has a high/low/off switch that the "high" part stopped working after two days. I'm not sure if it was faulty or the rough environment of the playa. But the "low" setting worked and has continued to work long afterwards. The housing is plastic with the pseudo-chrome paint. Quite convincing and it looks great on cruisers and lowriders.

First off, I would like to say this is an awesome light! It came within 2 days of ordering. I promptly installed it on my electric mountain bike (which looks great by the way) but not before having to hunt for a screw with a large enough head so it would not slip through the mount and not too large of a body so that it would fit through the hole provided on the bike. Luckily, I found one along with a nut to help secure it. The downside however is you have to screw extremely tight, and I mean TIGHT in order for the light not to tip to the side if you decide to make a sudden or sharp turn. Also, the screw provided attaching the light to the mount is still pretty loose even when screwed to it's tightest causing the light to shake a bit when the bike hits bumps or travels uneven road. But I guess if you don't plan to be extremely rough or off road with this on it is definitely a great buy. For the price, I really can't complain. The light it nice and was surprisingly bigger than I imagined it would be. Thanks Amazon.
