I've got the same one. In the sun, of course, you're not going to see it, but at night it should be bright.

I thought it was sufficient, actually brighter than I anticipated.

Satisfied customer.

You should be able to see it. I have had two on different bikes and I've been satisfied with the light from both, day or night.

Check to make sure your grounds are connected well enough.

Man, my clear alternatives are really bright. Especially at night. I suppose in direct sunlight it's going to be hard to see beings you have a clear lense?

thanks for the replies
i understand that its bright at night but let me tell you where i live, naples, fl. it is home to many retired people that can't see but our lovely state lets them drive. do you know if i can make it brighter during the day because i just don't feel comfortable riding around with a light that isn't bright during the day and thats when i will be doing most of my riding.

On second thought, you might want to consider some strobe lights.

You may need to tie a stop sign to the back of your bike that flips up when you stop or slow...LOL.....
