BBB Cycling StrikeDuo 1600i BLS-172i

Beautiful lamp. A bit big and heavy but quality

Pros & Cons

Only in use since this week, but already a positive experience. My previous lamp had to be recharged after every ride. I just left this one on the bike. After a 15 km ride in city mode, the battery is still on full. Nice wide beam.

Pros & Cons

It is a hefty lamp that gives a lot of light, and the remote control is very handy for e.g. a bakfiets which means you can't reach the lamp. The biggest disadvantage is that the lamp is very dazzling, and because it does not comply with the (German) StVZO quality mark, no account has been taken of oncoming traffic. The lamp simply shines straight ahead instead of being properly focused on the road surface. In addition, the mounting strap is quite useless. Even with extra rubbers etc., it is not tight enough to the handlebars to keep the heavy lamp in place, it drops down at the first threshold. BBB itself sells several accessories that can do this better (Crownfix etc.), but it's a bit of a shame that you still have to pay so much extra for a simple attachment. Because the Tightfix system was developed by them, you can't use accessories from other manufacturers either.

Pros & Cons

The best Christmas present for a long time is also the best light for me. Powerful, with a quick, solid attachment, and above all with the remote control that lets you keep your eyes on the road without having to look for the power of the flux on the lamp itself! A lamp that's becoming a must-have for every cyclist or paddler! If you didn't get it as a Christmas present, do yourself a favour and install it. You'll never want to go back to the old one ;-))

Perfectly suited to your needs! Ensures safety by being highly visible and provides excellent visibility when out and about at night.

Great with a simple, wireless button, which you can neatly position in the curve of your handlebars with the included rubber band. Unable to find anywhere else! Fits perfectly on aero cockpit due to the flat cutout of the included mounting strap. To install under the Black Inc to-rear hanging light mount, the lamp is just too big (sticks out too much to the rear), so we're still looking for a solution for that.
