 Convenient, Portable, Reliable; Reasonably Priced what more do you want? Feb 28, 2007
By Tom Plum
"TC"
I'm generous, at times, in reviewing books or CDs and saying 5 stars; and maybe this item is easier to judge; but I have no problems giving it a top rating.
In the past 5 or 6 years; I have used a number of headlights; mostly those with rechargeable batteries and they have served my purpose; but in a sense they have been bulky, or expensive, a bit of a hassle.
I will continue to keep a rechargeable battery headlight that I have since it lights up the road, just in case; but this one is easy to carry with one off the bike for security reasons, has a price that can't be beat, in fact, I find it astonishing that one can get such a good lighting system for under $50 dollars, let alone less than $25 as in this case. It is really a fine product; and very good for local riding (meaning 20-30 miles). For touring, maybe more lighting is needed; but it certainly let's you be seen and I don't have any problems with how well it does illuminate.
I especially went out of my way to purchase this; I often wondered what some cyclists I would see were using with a strobe light type of light on their bicycles; it may have been one of these and I have been pleasantly surprised with it's quality.

Blackburn Quadrant Oct 29, 2007
By jp
This is a great bicycle light (I've had it for 3 months or so). I did a ridiculous amount of research before buying this light. Should I spend the $$ on an expensive Cateye? I have a cruiser, and it seems that all the lights out there are either small and ineffective, or big and ugly. I finally settled on this light because of the reviews. It fits all of my criteria. 1) It works. I live in a really rural area with no street lights. It works great on a dark night with no moon and no other lights around. Of course, I am no road biker. If you are planning on going really fast at night around lots of cars, there are plenty of $100+ systems out there for you. For the casual rider who just needs to get from A to B, this light is great. I also like that it has two lights that focus a beam in front of you, and two that kind of light up to the sides of you. The way it's designed with those kind of side-shining bulbs also make you more visible to others who aren't looking at you head-on. I don't really mess with the modes. "All on" is what I need. Also, because it's LED, the batteries last forever. I really don't know how many hours I've used it. Probably 50-100 hrs, and I haven't had to replace the batteries yet. 2) It's not too big. It's maybe 4 x 3 x 2 off the top of my head. 3) I like the way it looks, and it works especially well on my cruiser. The styles blend well. So I'm shallow. 4) Price. I really didn't want to spend more than $25. I'm just a casual rider.
As for the reviewers who have had a problem with the light staying clicked in place, mine has been fine. It stays in place perfectly (and I unfortunately have to ride over poorly maintained dirt roads to get to the bike path by my house) even over big bumps. And it releases easily when I want it to. I also didn't have any problems replacing the battery. No offense to the other reviewers, but that was one of the first things I looked at after I received it. I didn't even look at the instructions and had NO problems figuring it out.
If you are looking for an inexpensive light that does the job, buy this light.

Good light Jun 19, 2007
By Andrew C. Flick
"flickac"
I purchased this light based on the reviews below and have found that the issues of the mounting can be overcome by winding some electrical tape around the mounting bracket itself can secure the fixture in place. If the fixture was tight and firm as-is, this this light would recieve five stars from me.
The battery installation issue is non-existant. The batteries alternate casing orientations on opposite sides of the unit itself-- that's why one user needed "ribbons" or tape to secure the batteries in place. Upon close examination of the unit, you will be able to change the batteries rather easily.
The light is bright. The strobe features are indeed bizarre, but a controllable feature nonetheless. Let's see how this thing holds up over time.

Excellent light Aug 26, 2006
By Mike M.
This light is great for lighting the path and for making you visible. It has three modes: continuously on, 2 lights constant and 2 lights flashing, or all lights flashing. I personally find the last setting produces a strobe-light effect that is hard on your eyes. The second works best, providing a bright light, yet with some flashing so you can be seen better. I've also not had any problems with the mounting. However, I leave it on the bike all the time, whereas the other reviewer seemed to indicate they put it on and take it off frequently.

Good Light for Suburbia Nov 15, 2007
By Mark Kosobiecki
The Blackburn Quadrant is a good light for those riding in the suburbs where there is supplemental lighting from street lights and what not. The light is fairly bright but, it's not going to blaze a path down a darkened, unlit trail. It just doesn't have that power.
With that being said, it is more than sufficient for uses on most roads in the cities and suburbs. I use it a few times a week with no problems unless I'm going in excess of 20 mph and then things start to get a little sketchy.
It's a nice sized package that mounts easily using a clamshell type of clamp. There's a thumbscrew type of mechanism on the back of the unit that unscrews to give you access to the battery compartment which uses 4 AA batteries. Battery life on this is very good due to the fact that the LED's are much more efficient than a conventional bulb. I've been using mine for about 3 months, 4 hours a week/avg with no decline in performance.
The light has three settings; all four bulbs on, the side two flashing and the other two on constant and, all four blinking. If you just want to be seen, all four blinking will prolong the batteries but for me, in darkness, the strobe affect of the light makes it impossible to use in that mode.
Overall, it's a great light for the price with good battery life. If you're looking to blaze through wooded trails at midnight, this light isn't for you but for the rest of us that ride on our neighboring streets before and after work, this is a very good soloution.
