The Bontrager Ion 700

Bontrager Ion 700

 This light has impressed us, one of the best value lights on the market. And Bontrager nailed it on their first go at it.

What's to like???

  • Brilliant (useable) light output, the best (in class) that we have used
  • Highly visible orange side lights
  • 5 modes (with last mode used memory when switched off)
  • 50lumen+Strobe mode, A simple, effective, well thought out feature
  • Solid, compact package
  • Surprisingly effective mounting

What we didn't like

  • On/Off/Mode button is a bit difficult to operate at times (gloved fingers especially)
  • Limited mounting options
  • USB Micro B charge lead should be USB Mini B in our opinion
