Falls a bit short for a Mantel's Choice.

- CycleTechJunky, 26 March, 2021

Bought together with the Bontrager ION 200RT. The same exact thing applies to that lamp: I expected more from this. The lamp is in terms of build quality and amount of light and light modes fine. However, if you set it to automatic, the lamp will always be on. In daylight extra bright, it will be empty after half an hour to an hour. Then it just starts to get dark. Regarding the control with the Garmin, there is also only the option to switch it on automatically as soon as the Garmin (Edge 1030) starts, or the timer starts. So then you have to manually switch on and off which is not really convenient on the Garmin. You can use the buttons on the lamp itself. Because the battery level on the Garmin is also not displayed properly (according to Garmin, the lamp is always empty or almost empty), the whole point of the link is lost. You have to pay a lot more for that.

Nice and small
