Powerful light, Rechargeable a definite plus.
When you first turn on the Night Provision BX-960 bicycle headlight you will notice immediately its powerful brightness. I've used other bicycle headlights in the past and they don't come close to the Night Provision performance-wise in terms of both brightness and beam distance.
Judging by its finish and weight, the Night Provision seems to be very well made with quality materials. The light easily affixes to the handle bar mount which can be secured to a handle bar of any thickness by using the adjustable strap. The round knob on the mount does require a fair amount of turning but it does fully tighten and secures the mount to the handle bar. There is no slippage once fastened.
The on-off buttons are easy to use and also illuminate. Once the Night Provision is turned on, the beam is bright and projects a great distance. The specs say that the beam distance can reach up to 180 meters (almost 500 feet). I don't know whether that amount of beam distance is needed by the casual bicyclist but based on my own limited test on a long driveway the Night Provision beamed a distance reaching 50 feet easy. I think that is more than sufficient to see the road ahead of you but I suppose there might be cases where more distance can come in handy. I need to add that the Night Provision battery is rechargeable, a definite plus.
All in all, the Night Provision as a bicycle headlight works very well. I imagine that there are other headlights on the market, but based on everything I see with the Night Provision, I doubt there is a better one.
