This seems like a good option as a daytime running light (I use it in 'flash' mode). The 'lens' of the light is frosted, I don't think there's any way that it's bright enough to illuminate a pathway at night (I don't ride in the dark, anyway).
Having said that - even in bright daylight it seems to be visible from far enough away that it's one more way to hopefully catch drivers' attention. The 270-degree wrap is also nice to give a bit if side-visibility.
I've had no issue with battery life, it probably really is somewhere around 7 hours in flash mode.
Construction quality seems good enough. The plastic housing isn't super robust, but it doesn't feel like it's going to self-destruct, either.
It really does clean up the cockpit - and as I already move my Garmin from bike to bike - it's dead simple to just move this as well.
Overall - no complaints, seems to do the job, solves a problem. I'd buy it again (esp if you can find it on sale - I got it on one of daily Leader's Club specials).
The Fabric Lumaray is one of those cycling gadgets that you didn't know existed. And when you found it, you realize it changes the whole game. Keep in mind, the Lumaray pumps out 30 lumens. It won't replace your 900 lumen light, but it is the best daytime light for commuting, casual rides around the neighborhood and simply to BE SEEN. I use this light mounted on a K-edge out front mount, with my Bryton 450 resting against it. The Lumaray makes the ever-so-satisfying click! sound when being locked into the mount. The plastic seems strong and durable so I wouldn't worry about sacrificing an expensive computer. I also tried it with a Barfly mount and had the same secure click. Additionally, the Bryton 450 securely snaps into the Lumaray groove on top, creating a clean setup and clutter-free cockpit. Although I do wish they hopefully come out with a brighter version, as I would definitely use that to replace my Cygolite. I would HIGHLY recommend the Lumaray to someone who wants to clean their setup, while wanting to be seen during evening rides or commutes tofrom work.
The design is spot on, but ultimately it doesn't have enough lumens to be worthwhile on the majority of rides. In the dark, I was lighting up the area between the handlebars and around my front tire - nothing out in front. But I didn't think it could replace a traditional headlight. I primarily wanted it for day riding, using the strobe to make myself more visible to oncoming traffic. I think it did the trick in low lightsunset, but during the day, again, I don't think it was bright enough to make the desired difference. Here's hoping they can keep the same form factor but double or triple the lumens.
I use this product to provide the safety factor of a flashing light up front while not cluttering up my handlebar.
I like everything about it and can find no fault with the design or functionality.
Not super bright but the position it is in under the Garmin and how it is seen from the side gets many complements. Great customer service too. The mount broke, emailed them a picture asking to buy a new mount and the sent me a new light. Not very expensive but worth every penny!
this is a great aero way to have a light and garmin together on your handlebar without taking up more space.
i love it and its bright enough for me on commutes. its 9 miles on the street and through a lightly lit park path.
I purchased this solely for visibility purposes, this is perfect! Added bonus as previous reviewer indicated is that it cleans up the cockpit.
This light has a great design. Im surprised I dont see more lights similar to this.
The output is very low and does not light the road at all. It is simply a blinker.
If it had more lumens it would be my go to, but currently its sitting in my parts box.
Very good light to be seen daynight but not to see the road when youre riding
Great light for really ,- the daytime. And the fit under you wahoo or Garmin is great. Nice clean design. The wraparound led does a good job on the sides too for being noticed. Only thing the charge port is a little recessed, be sure you have a slim enough charger to get in to it.
Ive been looking for a daytime light but others look chunky. This is very good looking. The reported 7 hrs of battery life (in flash mode) will be good enough for any ride.
I was excited when i first put it on my bike, but within 3 weeks the twist lock broke and it was junk. I was hoping for more. I was wrong.
Mine failed under normal usage. I lost a 1030. If you have one, TETHER YOUR COMPUTER.
