Avoid buying from MagicShine (Ray 2600B front light)
I would like to warn all fellow cyclists against purchasing a bicycle light from this company. Their website is full of promises how great the lights are but the product I purchased (front light Ray 2600B) definitely does not deliver on them. How long the battery last - hyped up (not true), distance the light shines into - hyped up (not true). Advertised for gravel but as per my tests not suitable (unless you ride 10km/h). It does not shine far enough (claimed “far-reaching spotlight beam” vs small distance in reality - 15 m simply isn’t enough to ride safely at 25 km/h), the battery does not last more than 1.2 hours (claimed 2.2 hours). When raising my issue with the company, it was a disheartening process. I exchanged several emails with them and eventually was asked to send the light back and to pay the postage back myself. Shipping an item with a battery inside is nearly impossible or very expensive. As a result I will suffer a financial loss. I would stay clear of this company and stick to more reputable brands. Do not believe the claims on their website. Once I bin this light, I’ll buy Lezyne or something proper. What a bad experience! Oh, I forgot to add that delivery took nearly three weeks!!!
