Light Works Well
I bought the Fenix BT10 because I have several Fenix flashlights and all are built extremely well.Inside the box is the light, a short extension cable (about 24"), the battery box, the box holder, helmet mount and 2 of each of the 3 sizes of o-rings (6 Total).First thing I noticed was how well constructed the light is. The light is definitely up to Fenix standards. The battery box is just big enough for the 4-AA batteries and is extremely well built. It looks like it would handle a heavy rain without issues. It took me a moment to figure out which way to place the batteries, as there are springs on both ends. After staring at it for a few minutes I finally found the marks. The marks are extremely tiny and are around the set screw to close up the case. When you close up the case you have to line up a notch on the top with a cutout on the main part of the case, problem is when you have batteries in there is can be tough to see, so I marked the outside of my case so I can close it with ease.I mounted the battery pack to my stem. I have plenty of cable (without the extension cable) to mount the pack to my top tube. The battery case holder is held to the frame with a velcro strap with a rubber on the inside so it does not slide around on your frame.Mounting the light to my bars was easy. I used the largest o-ring (the medium also worked, just took alot of stretching to get it on) to mount it to my bars, then I turned the light on the base and lined it up, could not be easier.I took a late ride so I could get a chance to use the Strobe Mode as well as the light on some very dark roads and on city streets.When I left my place the sun was setting on the horizon so I used the strobe mode. To turn on the strobe, first turn the light on then double tap the power button. I really liked the strobe mode, its 3 slow flashes followed by 5 or 6 extremely quick flashes. When riding down city streets I could see road signs 2-300 yards in front up my glowing with each flash. The flash worked so well I had a driver compliment me with about a half dozen profanities.As the sun set I went from flash mode to light mode. I started out with low because I could still see fine, but wanted the safety factor. As it got darker I turned it up to medium, which worked great on city streets. I then turned it up to high and was very amazed how well it lit out in front of me and directly infront of my bike.I then hit about 2 miles through a park with zero street lighting. Medium mode worked fine but I rode with it on High. On high mode I never felt like I was going to outride the light. I cruised at 22-25 mph though the park with no worries, the light worked great. I am a huge fan of the dual distance beam.After about 45 minutes on strobe, and 60 minutes on mostly high beam the light was still showing my batteries in the the green.I chose the BT10 over the BT20 because I wanted a light under $100 and that worked on AA batteries, since I have a pile of Eneloops at home. The 750 lumen light would be nice, but for as little as I ride at night the 350 will work for me.Pros- Extremely well built- Runs on AA Batteries- Dual Distance Beam, not a gimick by any means- Attention getting strobe mode- Works great on my road bike at 20-25 mphCons- I wish it had a lower power strobe mode, something under 50 lumens that I could run throughout the day and not worry about batteries or blinding drivers.- Battery box needs better identification on which way to lined up the lid when closing (fixed mine with marker)- No batteries included, but I knew that going in.In conclusion, its a great light I recommend.

This is by far the best bike light
This is by far the best bike light. It has duel beam so you can see right in front of you and ahead in the distance. For safety it is reliable, one of the brightest lights on the market. The battery life is also a great feature for the light.

Good light but seemingly has poor means to secure it to a bike.
Its lIghting pattern is good and bright. However, the light uses rubber-band-like thing to secure itself to a bike's handle bar. Fenix provides a number of rubber-band-like loops for you to choose from that would best fit your bike's handle bar size. Although it works in keeping the light in place with general easy riding, it is by no means secure against heavy shock or a quick thieve. My biggest concerns are how long the rubber-band-like loops will last and how difficult it might be to buy replacements.

Finalmente ci vedo
Ottima luce, ero preoccupato per i lumen massimi ma per me è perfetta. È compatta e leggera, così come il pacco batterie (4 stilo AA) che per me è più comodo di un pack ricaricabile.Gli o-ring in dotazione invece sembrano vecchi e poco elastici (classica patina bianca del tempo sulla gomma). Montaggio facile e rapido. Essendo un prodotto fuori produzione, con il prezzo si potrebbe fare meglio. Amazon puntuale nella spedizione.

Fenixlight BT10
Torcia ben fatta, solida, prodotta da ditta cinese di alto livello. Possiedo già una torcia di fenixlight (pd32) che è favolosa.L'uso che ne faccio del BT10 è prevalentemente in bdc, il fascio è buono, 350 lumen sono veri, con la rifrazione che lente che "sdoppia" il fascio luminoso, allungando di fatto il cono di luce mantenendolo ampio in prossimità della ruota anteriore.Per le uscite in notturna in mtb non ha una potenza sufficiente ed è necessario a mio avviso passare al BT20 ben più potente.Per il mio impiego (uscite in bdc in tardo pomeriggio in autunno ed inverno) è più che sufficiente, anche per uscite in mtb all'imbrunire, senza protrarsi in notturna.Package molto valido, con l'accessorio per posizionare la torcia sul caso (non ancora testata se non da fermo).Inoltre croce e delizia.. lavora con 4 batterie stilo, la cui durata rispetta la dichiarazione del produttore. Sicuramente un pregio perché si possono portare con altre 4 stilo di riserva, di contro non hanno la durata della batteria ricaricabile del BT20.In sintesi è prodotto che consiglio.

.praticamente un faro da moto..
..cosa posso dire: Spettacolare!!!..lo uso tutte le sere (finendo di lavorare sempre dopo le 20), e durante l'attraversamento del Parco (Castello) é semplicemente impagabile!..anche regolato sull'intensità intermedia, nella zona meno illuminata del percorso, permette di vedere perfettamente il percorso e sopratutto (essendo uno "sterrato") la strada che si sta percorrendo....particolarmente apprezzabile poi l'asimmetria del fascio di luce, che proietta in una doppia area: "spot" lontana e "a fascia" immediatamente vicina, per meglio vedere le asperità del terreno....semplicemente impagabile!

Vraiment efficace !
Usage pour déplacement en vélo sur route/chemins. J'étais un peu hésitant par rapport au prix. Au final pas de regret. Fixation simple mais efficace avec un caoutchouc pour faire tenir sur le guidon. En mode éco éclaire déjà raisonnablement bien et l'autonomie est de l'ordre de la dizaine d'heures avec des batteries 2500 mAh.,En puissance maximum, j'ai l'impression d'être proche de l'éclairage d'un phare de voiture (bien sûr sur une zone plus restreinte), Préférer des batteries rechargeable, visiblement la détection de décharge est prévue sur des cellules 1.2V et non sur des piles 1.5V que j'avais mises dans un premier temps. Le résultat est une chute relativement brutale du niveau d'éclairage par rapport aux batteries avec lequeslles le niveau d'éclairage reste stable en position éco.En points négatifs qu'il serait pourtant facile d'améliorer, le repérage de la position des piles et de la fermeture du boitier des piles, le raccord étanche sur le fil difficile à enfoncer, la longueur excessive de la bande velcro pour l'attache sur le cadre du vélo...Ajout Nov. 2017 : lampe morte (probablement panne électronique: se décharge totalement en quelques heures en position standby - Les batteries ne sont pas en cause). Dommage car l'éclairage était meilleur et le fonctionnement plus intuitif que que pour la lampe de remplacement que j'ai du prendre.

Ottimo prodotto
Ottimo prodotto, la uso con la mia MTB e nei boschi la sera ci si vede benissimo, rispetto ad altri prodotti ha un prezzo contenuto e illumina di più. i cavi sono lunghi e si può posizionare dove si vuole, il fatto di poter usare batterie ricaricabili è un vantaggio, e poi basta avere sempre della batterie di ricambio nello zaino per essere sicuri di non rimanere al buio
