I purchased this bicycle light in 2010 and still use it. Actually, I purchased two additional ones for my mountain bike and my wife's bike. It is inexpensive and serves my need when I go cycling at nighttime.
Pros:
Great visibility, vertical adjust ability great detachable
Cons:
Horizontal adjust ability not available
Great beginner light, I would recommend to friends, and I have. Might not be so good for pro night riders. I love that it is detachable. It's pretty solid, I've dropped it a couple of times and it's still solid. I would recommend this product.

Richard Aubé: Way less bright I was expecting. Compared to Planet Bike Blaze 140, it’s less than half the brightness. Deceiving. Good thing is that it uses replaceable batteries and I use rechargeable ones.

Bob: I bought this light because it uses replaceable batteries, which is hard to find these days. can't stand plugging a bike light in as it will always be drained when you least expect it and then you will throw the thing out in three years when the rechargeable batteries fails. Puts out a good beam and lasts most of the year as I ride at night once a week max.

Reed Maxson:
Comparing the Beamer 5 White LED light with the Beamer 3 White LED light, both are very good. The 5 LED light quality is quite white, the 3 LED has a blueish tint. Both are very bright to look at but, compared to the brightness of the light emitted, do not supply as much road illumination as might be expected. The 5 LED seems to have a longer throw.
Contrary to other reports, I think the mounting brackets are well designed. Both the strap and the cam lock can be adjusted. Out of the box the brackets were oversized for my slightly less than 1 inch, 23 mm diameter handle bar (which is actually slightly oval shaped). I simply pushed in the flexible strap two clicks and then made finer adjustments with the threaded cam lock, no tools needed. The brackets can be made to fit snugly yet still allow the angle to be adjusted while riding if desired.
Both lights have a flash setting, and either are adequate in alerting others to your presence. While riding on rural, unlit roads and trails, I found my original purchase, the 5 LED, to provide less light than desired, so I purchased the 3 LED. Having done so, I compared the two lights using new...

I own two of these. Replacing one (as result of bike accident) and will probably buy the same light again.
Here's what I like
* 100 Hours of batter life. Yes, you can get brighter lights, but you will pay for it in eating batteries.
* When the batteries fade on these, because they are LEDs, they fade gradually giving you lots of time to replace the batteries.
* I double the lights - have two of them on either side of my handle bar. In an urban environment, on strobe mode, this is VERY effective in getting peoples attention. The strobe works well.
* On the trail in the urban environment, I put them on steady. Doubled up - and with urban light - its PLENTY of light.
* I am cyclist commuter; my bike takes a beating - these things have stood up well. Reliable.
* The brighter lights (which either eat batteries or must have lithium ion batteries) will light up a dark trail better which may be important to some - but please remember that you will also blind oncoming cyclist traffic. These will not blind your fellow cyclists.
* The mounts are very easy on and off (yes I have a thick handlebar)

TDTD: Bike light is great. However it did not arrive with the included clip on mount - and there is no option to flag “missing accessories” on the return option for this seller (which is a bit of a pain as it’s an Xmas gift)
