IWONDER V2.0 Skateboard Lights: Waterproof, Bright, USB Rechargeable, and Safe for Longboarding

L9: I can give this 5 stars when considering value per dollar however be aware that there is a plastic mount that may well break because on my board I cannot get the mount far enough 'forward' (under the board) so when I set the board on its tail I am in danger of snapping the plastic. But you may not have this problem on your board. I do like the many light settings and it will be much safer day or night. I will be using this as a red taillight. I do not want the light above the deck for fear of getting entangled with it someday. The light is lightweight enough that you could somehow just fasten this to your clothes or helmet too.

RJ: Ordered two for my old boosted v1 and exway flex as rear taillights. Works a treat and makes the boards very easy to see from the rear. Only complaint is that one light randomly failed and would not turn back on. But Iwonder sent a replacement in less than 2 days. Keep In mind that these don’t project far enough forward to be comfortably used as headlights (would recommend the sl300 or sl1000). The plastic mount is a bit concerning at first but has survived the last 100 miles without issue. I would recommend checking it for cracks and making sure the light is fully locked in before each ride. The mounting screws are worthless and rusted in a matter of days. Overall pretty good for the money and a reasonable alternative to the more pricey Shredlight SL-R1. I’ll report back if the mounts or lights fail.

Pros:
1. Included mounts
2. Easy to use controls
3. Multiple lighting modes
4. Good battery life in red light mode

Cons:
1. Plastic mount that could crack and break.
2. Flimsy charging port cover.
3. Reliability concerns.

Neutral
1. USB micro B charging port.
2. Cheap mounting screws that rust

joss gautier: The media could not be loaded.  me gusto, llego a tiempo, el único problema es que tiene un corto circuito que no deja que prenda solo me duró un mes 😩

Aidan.L: The lights works great and the battery life is good but it's not bright enough to use as a front light and so I use it for a back light now.

Marcus S: Product is OK and lights work as expected, although one of the two I bought didn't come charged so I couldn't test. The issue is that the mounting sucks, besides being plastic, it sticks out too much on my Meepo v4 when installed under the deck and also doesn't allow me to use my bump guard (mounting above the deck is possible, but not for me).

JDUBJDUB: I love it! These should come as a set when purchased. The plastic clip is ok but could use a better more reliable device to keep it locked in place. For the money an excellent deal. The mounting piece did no fit so I had to cut it in half and use two pieces at different angles. This rattles unless tightened periodically. But the light suits the purpose effectively and very reliably. I have gotten use out of one charge for 45 mins non stop use. And did not charge it for about two weeks using periodically. Hence this light is exactly what a person needs. Only suggestion would be another type of light to use for the front perhaps wi th different optics to be more like headlights and light up more viewing space for seeing in front of you at night. Given the heat in Florida riding at night is far more optimal and enjoyable! I would give it 5 stars if the build quality were more sturdy or aluminum instead of plastic. The plastic clip to hold the light in place will most likely break over time but for the price anyone can afford to replace the entire unit less than a meal at any restaurant. Excellent value for the money and a great design for use. I rode with it the first night and could...

R. ToledoR. Toledo: This product idea is great but wasn't well executed on the attachments. It's made of cheap plastic that does not give me a good feeling of lasting more than a couple of miles. If you over tight the screws, they will break. If you step on it, it will also break. They should be made of metal instead. Both screws that I received are of bad quality, one had an issue in the head and the other almost got messed up when tightening over my board. Had to make a trip to Home Depot to get decent screws.

The light, in the other hand, is very good. For the price, it should have a much better attachment system. Even my Lego pieces are more sturdy than this piece of plastic.

yumena mizuno: Brightness of light is not enough, still cannot see while riding

Ashley: Light is absolutely amazing! For some reason the threads on the extended screws don't work with any of the bolts for both my skateboard and longboard, so that forced me to mount it underneath the board, and sticking out past the nose.. instead of ontop like I originally planned for. Needless to say, the second time I used it, I broke the plastic clip mount for the light.. it's just made of plastic and really weak. They warn you to mount it where it isnt sticking out but unfortunately i didn't have the time to go looking for new hardware. I feel like for almost $40 these mounts should definitely be made of metal. I mean the light is dope as heck, but not worth $40 just for the light.. because I guarantee that cheap plastic mount costs them next to nothing to produce. I'm going to fix the mount and hopefully find longer screws or bolts that actually work, then top mount it instead! I mean, it may seem like I'm trashing this light but I am more than likely going to buy another one or two.. I would like two on the back truck.. one for a tail light, and one facing forwards, kinda like underglow. It sucks they cost so much but there's not much else on Amazon that compares to these. Just...

Gordon KimberleyGordon Kimberley: It seems well made. Nice and bright, no one will be able to say they didn't see me on my board. I live in Canada, so I won't be able to try it out on the board till April. My only worry is the bracket. This one does seem to be well made, but I have had vibration crack steel brackets, so we will see what happens. Update: Been riding board for 2 weeks now, about 10 kms home from work a day. No crack or issues of any kind. Make sure you use the included plastic block to transfer vibration through bracket. Money well spent if you ride on the road at night. Update, I have used this for a full summer now on my longboard. I travel about 4 miles every night home from work. It still works as new. The battery lasts so long I forgot it had a light to tell me it was getting low. The bracket has held up great. I am so glad I spent the money on this.
