If you also have the Beamer 5, which do you prefer? Also, can one get a separate mounting bracket to share the light easily between 2 bikes?

Sorry, I don't own the 5 Beamer. I use my Beamer 3 more to be seen by cars than to illuminate the path. Can't imagine needed more light than the Beamer 3 provides for that purpose.

I have the beamer 3 and it is good, not that much light but at least making it blink will be good for safty. i don't think you can get the mounting bracket.

I don't have the Beamer 5, not sure about a separate bracket, but it can be removed with ease to use between two bikes.

I own and prefer the 2W Planet Bike headlight simply because it offers a more powerful light. Contrary to the first commenter, you can buy additional mounting brackets for about six dollars apiece. Please see: Planet Bike Quick Cam Handlebar Adjustable Bracket

It's very easy to mount on the handlebars. The mount contains inserts to help with a secure fit. Depending on the setting, the light is almost painfully bright indoors. Any light designed to provide illumination while you're biking is more than sufficient for indoor uses.

The light can be mounted on a standard 1/4" screw, as on a tripod mount. My light stands have baby studs that have that kind of quarter inch screw poking out the end. FZ96 comes with a swivel widget that allows the light to be tilted. I power the lights using a little 12v power brick (about $5 - and make sure you get the correct pin size- 2.5mm I think). That eliminates the weight of batteries and makes so you can use even very lightweight stands.

Thanks for the input. The light is flexible and an improvement over past attempts, but I had hoped this higher end version would be a true upgrade. Still a good light.

Easy to mount. Depending on the handlebar diameter you may have to add a couple of wraps of friction tape. At full bright it is overpowering indoors. Fortunately it has a lower power "walk-around" setting.

I put my bike on the other way around. I put the bike with the front to the left on the inner mount. The down bracket secures around the angled lower part of the frame.

You should purchase a top-tube or cross-beam adaptor. It is a tube that clips to a woman's bike and creates a straight cross-beam, just like the top tube on a man's bike. You need one for every woman's bike. Allen makes one for around $20.

If you have room you can mount them, Besides the mounts that come with them the Rigid website has various mounts for tubes in various sizes. They come with a very good wiring harness that is easy to hook up. You may want to get the lights and play around with them before you mount them in different locations to see where they not only fit best out of the way but also don't have shadows from something blocking the light beam.

The handlebar mount for this light is a very good design - fits two different bar diameters - just make sure you do not lose the rubber items used to size to the smaller bar. Very easy to mount and dismount the light - my biggest problem is to not lose the little rubber thing used to cover the electrical connector used for charging - very tricky to get it in the hole and to make sure it stays there when you handle the light, etc.

I would suggest you contact the company that makes the Better Beamer and ask them directly.

Yes, I prefer to use a helmet mounted light and a handlebar mounted light for trail riding but that's only to have a back-up. This light is plenty bright to light your way on its own.

Installs just like any other bicycle tail light. Very easy but on this one if you want to use the Laser light (which is cool),You have to make sure nothing below the light assembly is going to block the laser beam.

Thanks for the enquiry. there are a few mounts on the market and they are all good, the technology behind them is virtually the same and there's not much that can go wrong with them. we sell some on our site but sold out at present. But you can pre order if you wish. We have some pictures of our light mounted on a wrangler found on our site www.bisonpro.com under the 50" LED bar. Hope that helps, let me know. Thanks

Not sure what type of mounting you require, but this bike light mounting works great on the handlebars.

If you plan to use the trailer with more than 1 bike its easier to have another hitch. Not necessary, just a matter of convenience.

I had the same issue and you have to order the mounting brackets seperately. I went with the bigger of the two sizes.

As long as you have a standard size seatpost the mounting clamp should attach to your bike! its a real nice light and i just ordered 4 more for friends and family who wanted one also!
