Admittedly, this product is a bit wider than the standard ACR emergency strobe that most US racers buy. But this item has several key benefits that won us over:
- It only takes one (1) AA battery. Most others take at least two.
- The on-off button is recessed on the bottom, which helps to eliminate accidental turning on. Others typically have a body twist activation method, which causes them to frequently get turned on in your bag when they rub against stuff.
- Although a bit wider, it is still very lightweight and with only 1 battery needed, it actually will be lighter than most others. With 1 battery, it weighs 3.2 oz.
