Can this light easily be stolen? Or will it take some time to take off my seat post?

Yes! There is a phillips screw that holds the mounting bracket on your seat post (stem). 15 seconds and it could be gone. Also remember that this light is not a high tech or premium priced light. Odd's are no one will take it but there is always that one person that just might.

If someone had a screwdriver, it could be removed in about 30 seconds. With a battery operated drill/screwdriver it could be removed in 10 seconds.I think the risk is small considering it's value to a thief. What's the reduced risk of getting hit by a car that doesn't see you worth? Make sure youlock your bike first.

It attaches with a normal 2Phillips just like any reflector. The light itself clips into the mount and can be easily removed. If you leave the bike, just unclip the light and take it with you.

The light itself has a quick release to get it off the mount, but the mount itself is attached via a Phillips head screw. The light without the mount is pretty useless, but if you're concerned about it being stolen, it's simple and quick to take off the light and bring it with you, leaving only the mount attached to the bike. I suppose someone would be able to steal the mount, but they'd need a screwdriver, and I'm not sure why anyone would want a light-less mount.

The light part has a quick release, but the bracket would take a minute and a screwdriver

I put it right under my seat bag on my road bike. It is a tight squeeze, but it works. The light is plenty bright to still be seen in dark conditions. The light attached with an 'S' hook. You pull each side of the light around and latch it in the hook.

I personally would not remove it, it is so small it could be secured very easily, if it were to tip over, the battery is a sealed unit

I don't think the plastic bracket would deform enough to hold securely on a non-round seatpost, it might even crack. It does come with a bracket to mount the light on a seatstay.

I just clipped my light to one of the rear brake wires at the back of my seat & it has stayed on & not fallen off. Best of luck w/yours. The light is small but is quite visible b/c of the light output...it is very bright.

Not really. The light is an LED, so will pull very little off your battery.

It's the way how it works in my closet "room" on country side :)Don't use velcro, use screws. There is no problem to detach the light from screws and replace the batteries.

Yes. The light by itself and/or the mounting bracket can be detached almost instantly for portability.

The light fits into a holder. . And the holder tightens down onto the light. .. it is very secure! ! I WOULD buy another one! !

Sorry to hear about your theft - seems like nothing is sacred anymore. The clamp for post tightens up to hold it on to frame & also adjusts onto seat. My post is approximately 1" wide. A bike shop can help you. Good luck. Carol

Yes the 3 lights and post. The three lights screw on and off the post. Comes in pieces.

It is designed to be removable from it's wall mount so it can be emptied. So, I would think it could probably be easily stolen.

it depends on your bike.mine had a quick release mechanism,so it could easily slip in. Then i had a quick adjustment to make it screwed down,so it cant be removed and stolen,easily

Yes! the mounting bracket does release from the light. Before you mount it pull down HARD on the BRACKET until it releases. When you have them separated you can easily see how the light slides into the bracket. Mount the bracket but leave enough clearance to lift the light out of the bracket. When sliding the light back into place you can slide it back just enough to keep it attached or you can apply force and have it snap into place. I just have mine slide into place for easier battery replacement.

Technically yes, the red part is like a key so you can take it out if you want and if you somewhat hide the location of the switch it would definitely be tough to steal. I have had friends try to move my car and they just thought the battery was dead until I showed them where to the switch was.

Yes, it has a strong elastic band that keeps the light on the bike mount and it is very hepful. All you have to do is stretch the band to unhook it and you can take the light wherever you please.
