  • Good bullet points, but...
I’m a longtime fan of the Olight brand, so I had high hopes, but the reality…well, here’s the good part: The build quality looks great, with a metal body and a nice finish. It looks and feels like a high-quality device. The USB-C connector suggests the potential for fast charging and use as a power bank. The Garmin-style mount is apparently considered to be desirable and a GOPRO adapter is also included. The mounting system fits most all handlebars. And that 21700 cell has a lot of capacity! With the good being said, it’s not clear as to whether the USB-C connector actually supports fast charging because the included cable has a USB-A connector on the other end, which does not support fast charging. The status LED offers only the most basic charge status, so no easy way to tell how long it takes to charge from, say, a 50% state of discharge. My sense is that it’s slow-ish with the included cable. Perhaps worth considering too that no charger is included, and that most phone chargers are not capable of USB-C fast charging modes. Think about this - smart phones with normal-sized screens have a battery capacity of ~1600 mAH, whereas the battery in this light is 5000 mAH, so it will take three times as long to charge as the phone, using the same charger that came with the phone. The Garmin-style mount is apparently ubiquitous, but I think it’s also fair to say that it’s not ideal for a bike headlight because it requires a full 90 degree twist. That makes it impossible to mount the light while anything else is mounted nearby, such as a GPS. In my particular case, my GPS is physically smaller than this light, so I can make it work by first removing the GPS, then installing the light, then re-installing the GPS. It works, but it’s not handy. The handlebar mounting system is basically a souped-up Ty-rap. Installation is a little bit awkward, but worse than that is the fact that it’s not very sturdy. The light is pretty heavy for its size and the highly flexible mounting system just doesn’t have what it takes to keep the light from shaking vertically. It would be okay if the system dampened some of the vibration, but it actually seems to amplify the vibration, causing the light shake somewhat distractingly. By direct comparison, the Fenix BC21 R has a mount system that doesn’t require a 90 degree twist and it shakes a lot less on the same bike. The beam is arguably the most important part of a headlight, and in that regard, it certainly is a mixed bag. On the one hand, this thing makes a lot of light. And one might say that the beam pattern has a fairly wide throw, without any sharp edges. I suppose that in some riding style, it would be fine. But I saw/read other reviews where hardcore riders found it to be too narrow. In defense of the light, as many lumens as it may have, one can only spread it out so much before it’s no longer bright enough. I think it might work okay on a fairly straight trail. I would say the same for street riding, but the beam pattern is a lot more like a flashlight than a headlight, meaning that there is very little vertical control of the beam. I pointed mine down more than I really wanted to, but it is still blinding to everyone I meet. One of my neighbors actually yelled out at me because it was so bright in his eyes. Some bikers will probably think that’s good. Possibly the same ones who think that flashing lights are a good idea. But listen, this thing is blinding, distracting and downright uncomfortable. I want to be seen, but I don’t want to be seen as a nuisance, and I certainly don’t want to blind oncoming drivers so that they can’t see well enough to keep from hitting me. And that’s with it pointed down so far that most of the beam is right in front of the bike. There is no adjustment that lights up distant objects. For example, when riding on a long straight trail, the farthest I could see was 30 feet in front of me. Everything beyond that was just blackness. Partly because the near field pattern is so bright that it destroys all night vision. It needs to be a lot brighter right at the horizon and a lot less bright 10 feet away. Like a car or motorcycle headlight. This pattern might make some sense in a forest, but again, people who are using it for that purpose feel like it’s not wide enough. I think it comes down to poor beam control. Without good beam control it may be a well-made, good-looking, bright light, but it doesn’t do what anyone needs it to do. Not for street riding, not for trail riding, and not for a technical path in a forest either. Perhaps worth mentioning too that it somehow manages to spill light behind itself in such a way that it lights up my knees, which I find quite annoying. The fluting on the lens makes it look like they were thinking about beam control, but that fluting doesn’t do anything that I would consider to be good. It certainly doesn’t provide a vertical cutoff for the beam pattern. You might very well be able to see the light at the stated 164 meters, but I’ll bet you can’t see it while sitting on your bike behind this light. If you like measurements, with the light on the highest setting, ten feet in front of my bike, I measured 1000 lux(!) at the center of the beam, and that certainly is a lot of light, but the trouble is that the measurement at street level is still 300 lux. The light just isn’t directed well enough to make it possible to see anything at 164 meters while being blinded by the 300-lux illumination that is right in front of the bike. Remembering my trail riding experience, it was quite eerie that everything outside of the nearby 300 lux pool of light was utterly invisible. Both at the horizon ahead and to the sides, there was a noticeable colored glow…the persistence of vision being the chromatic opposite of the color of the light…the trail was reddish crushed stone, so the glow was blueish…almost like a weird blue fog that obscured all details. It was so strange that I had to stop in order to keep from crashing while staring sideways at it. After staring for a long time, my night vision eventually recovered enough that I was able to see quite a bit of detail in the moonlight. And I suppose that is the take-away here - if you're going to run a light this bright, it needs to be well controlled, shining evenly, everywhere that you need to see. ... show more

  • Works great
So I a 3 paragraph detailed review but amazon said it didn't mean community standards somehow. So instead of being thorough and detailed and providing critical detailed information to anyone making a choice, I'll just do whatever everyone else does and say it works great. Shines light. EDIT: So after riding with this light for a bit, I wanted to share additional thoughts. First take a look at my pic. On the left is the OLight RN1500 attached to my helmet via a GoPro mount, on the right is a _very cheap_ bike light (that I don't recommend). First, the RN1500 is BRIGHT. I normally run it on the second setting just because the brightest most is ridiculous. Super cool though! I love the beam pattern! Here's something important though, look at the color rendering between the left and right halves. Even though the OLight is kicking out a TON more light, the cheap bike light on the right actually shows a difference between rocks, plants, trees, and shadows. I researched the OLight rn1500 and it appears (I think, don't quote me) to use an SST-40 emitter, vs my cheap bike light which the emitters are unknown (possibly a knockoff XM-L). The color rendering index of the OLight makes it quick difficult to quickly see the difference between rocks and leaves as they all kinda look the same. So, I don't think I'd recommend a solo OLight RN1500 for trail usage... but for city streets, this is hands down the light you could buy for the price. The quality is still EXCEPTIONAL! I do feel like you could use the RN1500 on your bar with a high CRI like on your helmet for trail usage. I wish they'd come out with an SST-20 version! That would be a game changer. I'm downgrading one star for the CRI not being great, but still the build quality and reliability of this light is unprecedented. Still recommend! ... show more

  • Bright, Clean, Simple! Charging Issues. Non-Responsive company support.
The ultra minimal, quad lock style, rattle free, mount wins over all other light mounts! Simple one button, one bulb, interface is ideal! Compact, aluminum water tight design rocks! Brightness is fantastic for a single bulb compact light! Fantastic battery life on full. And price is hard to beat! Only complaint is that battery life indicator, only shows below 20%. Not helpful when 21% looks the same as 100%!! No way to tell level when charging either. Would really help to see a 50% battery life indicator (at a minimum)! A 100/50/10 would be much better! UPDATE… The light actually won’t change with any usb-c charger I own, (Phone, MacBook, etc). Maybe it needs a really low voltage plug? But the Light doesn’t come with a charger, only a USB-A to C cable. Plugged in to my USB-C chargers the light goes green (like it’s charging) but it never charges. Also really easy, even with long press lock, for this light to go on in your bag and start burning/smoking papers in seconds! Be Careful! Lastly, Company sucks at responding so retuning for a refund. Too bad this light has so much potential!! ... show more

  • Beats the Cygolite Metro
For years, I have felt that the Cygolite Metro and Ranger lights were the best bang for the buck in bicycle lighting. Only one thing I didn't like was that they don't give a battery status indication so I was always wondering if I was tempting fate and going to run out of juice on my commute. The alternative was to charge it every day, but charge cycles are what kill rechargeable batteries over time, so daily charging wasn't a good idea either. The Olight RN1500 is so bright that I run it at lower power and get the same illumination but longer run time. The beam pattern could be better. I'd like to see it have better top-edge cutoff so I don't blind oncoming motorists. I fixed this by mounting it to my rear loop on my Jones handlebar so that the front loop acts as a blinder to cut off the top of the beam. The RN1500 bounces around a bit more than the Cygolite but is plenty secure in the quarter-twist Garmin (or GoPro?) mount. ... show more
