Comments:  The BR25 has the capabilities to cover both wide-angle and short-range distances.  It makes a great light for road cycling, mountain biking, BMX, or just casual neighborhood rides thanks to its innovative design that -cuts the beam above the eye level, which avoids blinding incoming pedestrians, drivers or riders.  It also features a very practical interface that makes it very simple to operate.
