At around 40 quid you're probably not expecting the Luxo to be a top-end performance trail light - and you'd be right.
The beam is very narrow and a bit torch-like, and has very little power or spread so it isn't up to the job of full-on night riding or 24-hour racing. It is a really nice thing though - lightweight, with a slim triangular shape it has a high quality, beautifully made feel. Running off easy-to-get-hold-of AAA batteries and, with a simple bar attachment, it takes up virtually no space in a pack so would work well as a good take-with-you-at-all-times emergency light, and a lanyard attachment means you can use it in a torch-like manner when you're just sat around the campsite.
