A lot of my friends have the original and 300 Raveman, but I just didn't think they were bright enough for daylight riding. The 500 is the answer!!! Super bright with 2 large LED's with side exposure. I'm sure it would be fine for night riding, as well. The Garmin mount works perfect, both to the stem mount and for the Garmin on top. It's super light (a fraction of my old Bontrager light) and is easy to charge. I can get 2 - 3 long rides in without charging (probably plenty of charge left). This is a winner!!
I think this light is as great as it can be for the price. The beam is a little dispersed, but pretty strong and it is visible from the sides. Mounting is not an issue if you have a computer mount already. Snap in and go.
The light source if very good in low light riding situations, when using the flash lighting function the light last several hours.
I hate the bulky look of other lights. This throws off enough to see and be safe while hiding under my Garmin
