## Description

LIGHT SUNLT RR TL-L505 5LED RACK MOUNT

Review: Great light quality - Great deal nice light bright enough has a retro feel easy to access one-off it has a nice feel to it definitely quality. Easy to use and access the button and quality is real good and bright and retro, mounts easily.
Review: Simple and Effective Light - This light works for me because of its reflective ability as well as the light. I mounted it on a Topeak bike rack with bag. Other people said that the activation button on the back of the light was hard to get to. Because my rack is built more openly, I can reach the button on the light without any trouble at all. I like that the light has many displays depending what interests you at the time. It has 4 LED's which in the dark should be no problem to see. It is a little hard to see during daylight or twilight. I only use it in the dark anyway. During the day the reflector works great. I also like that the batteries are super easy to change out.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you tell me the distance between the horizontal screw hole centers for the mounting bracket?**
A: I measured 2 inches.

**Q: How long will it run on a set of batteries? Curious since I'm planning a cross country trip.**
A: No set time. One reason is that cold weather adversely effects battery strength.  On cold mornings you can put them in a pocket close to your body and they will 'rejuvenate their strength. Additionally, run time fluctuates depending on the setting as the random setting uses more battery power. Take plenty of 'name brand' batteries on you trip and if in cold weather put them in you sleeping bag close to your body heat while you sleep.

**Q: What is the distance difference between the 2 nuts?**
A: I just measured 2" center to center of the screws.It is a little hard to measure exactly because it is on my bike and difficult to get the ruler in.Hope this helps.The light is okay, not as bright as I would like, but fine for night use.

**Q: Will this work on a rear trunk rack for an Electra Townie?**
A: Yes if your rack has a back monting plate with bolt hole.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good enough, high visibility.
*by F***M on June 1, 2020*

It is bright, and the multiple LEDs/modes allow me to use the sequential strobing mode which offers a lot of visibility early morning/at night. The mount works fine, but make sure to install the mount with the U shape latch facing upwards, so the light slides down into the clip. This way it won't fall off the bike. The clip is not the best, so I just added some rubber cement on the latch to make it have a more solid connection. Never had this fall off or come lose, even downhilling mountain trails. Fits on a standard luggage rack, but the power button is a little hard to press because it is right next to the metal bracket on the luggage rack.
