BBB Cycling StrikeDuo 1600i BLS-172i

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.
