Does this dynamo light illuminate or light up the path?

The pattern of this light is relatively un-sophisticated, and I usually ride on fairly well lit streets, so I'm using it to signal to cars that I'm there. I've changed my personal preference to the Avenir light, which has a well-designed beam pattern, with a sharp cutoff at the top of the beam, and relatively wide, rectangular pattern, much better for lighting the road - better than this light. But I can't truly comment on how well either would work on a dark path. I will say that both of these lights meet the German specs for MAXIMUM illumination - for reasons I don't quite understand, they don't want bike lights to be TOO bright. So all the manufacturers that want to sell in Europe go right up to the German limits.

This light does not react to motion. It has an ambient light sensor that prevents it from turning on when the sun is up, etc.To make it turn on under all conditions, simply cover the light sensor with some black electrical tape. The older versions of this light had a dark plug included for you to use, but LOA stopped including this in their packaging years ago.

the lights are the signal that you receive. the more lights the better the signal. sounds like you are getting apoor signal. Does it change when you rotate the ant.

Not sure the lumens but it is on *whenever* I ride -- day or night. On high blinky in the dark it is annoying, but during the day I leave it on that setting and it seems to get attention.

No it actually moves I believe. It lights up all diff colors too. It's pretty!

It is a little bit of both. A small spot for sure and then the light spreads out from there. Not a broad beam, however.

It's been a while since I've used mine, but I think there are lights in both places. It's a great hat but since I've had it, I've found other lights that put out way more light.

I have no idea. It is bright enough to be seen but not bright enough to light up a dark trail.

It is a floodlight, NOT a spotlight. There is no focusing mechanism. In fact, I question whether the metal reflector in the light really does much of anything.

I use it to light my pathway lights around the house. It has a timer to turn the lights on and off automatically.

Good afternoon. The light has a dim light and a bright light. When no motion is detected the lamp glows dim and when you get near them they go bright. You have a dim light at all times, and goes to bright when needed. I have these lights and they are the best! Almost going on two years now and no failures.

The tip of the wand lights up and if the button is held down it gets brighter.

The switch will illuminate when powered up. Very easy power source accessory and then a ground wire

Hi Lucille!This light only comes on when something moves near it. A motion detector. As you approach to within about five to six feet, it comes on for a few minutes and then goes off. I have them setup in strategic places where I might walk at night and as I approach, my path is lit. I have one in both hallways, the kitchen and my office. After a few years, I have one that has turned an off yellow color in the plastic front, but it doesn't effect the lighting, just the appearance. Have a great day!

like petdoc said, it's supposed to light up but the only time my cats got it to light up is when I put both balls in the track and one smacked the other really hard. I will say this though, the one that's supposed to light up travels smoother through the track than the other one
