A quality light! Range is wide and far +adjustable to each side. Battery life is dependent on which 18650cells you use. In comparison to the Nitecore br35 is this a better choice.

The Fenix BC30 V2.0 flashlight is a great product. I decided on her for several reasons:
1. Warning flashing 50 to 600 lumens.
2. Wireless switch control.
3. Wide range of lighting modes, from 50 to 2200 lumens.
4. Warning flashing mode.
5. It can be used as an alternative flashlight.
6. I didn't want a lamp from China.
The body of the lamp has a beautiful design. It is very easy to attach to the handlebars of the bike using the included holder. The flashlight is equipped with a quick-release clip, so it is very easy to take it out and put it back in.
The quick-release clip has anti-slip rubber rings on the inner circumference, which allow the diameter of the clip to be regulated and prevent it from slipping. After opening the jaws, the clip itself is fixed using one screw, which is equipped with a plastic element at the end, so the clip can be tightened on the handlebars of the bicycle without the use of tools. The 3.6 V batteries are stored in the flashlight in a practical "case".
Batteries are easy to put in and take out very easily. To remove the "case" from the body of the lamp, simply lift the metal oval clip, turn it 45°, and the case with the batteries will easily slide out of the body of the lamp.
I'll admit that I was a little leery of attaching the wireless switch with velcro. This concern turned out to be unfounded. The wireless switch holds perfectly on the handlebar grip and is easy to operate with one finger. However, it is necessary to stick a non-slip rubber ring on it, which consists of two rings. The ring is split into two parts to accommodate a coin cell battery.
Switching on the lamp using a wireless switch is very practical, because the cyclist can pay full attention to driving and does not have to let go of the handlebars.
I use 50, 200 lumens, pulsing and only occasionally 2200 lumens. I only use the 2200 lumen light mode for a maximum of 1 second in situations where I'm not sure what's in front of me.
So far, I have only used the pulsing mode between 50 and 600 lumens when driving in road traffic, in daylight, to be "more visible".
In road traffic, when driving at night, I use the 200 lumen lighting mode.
In my opinion, the lighting mode, 50 lumens, is fully sufficient for riding on cycle paths. It does not dazzle oncoming cyclists and with an afterglow of 28m, it gives the possibility to react to situations that have arisen well in advance.
If you would use a flashlight for regular use, you will appreciate the switch, which is made of a silicone-based material. If, for example, you place the flashlight on an inclined surface with the switch down, it will not slide on the inclined surface.
A metal oval clip on the body of the lamp is also practical, which can be used to hang the lamp in a tent, etc.
I would also like to praise the manufacturer for the perfect storage of the lamp and its accessories in technical foam, which prevents damage to the products.

Easy to install, high quality and produces enough light even in darker weather. With the remote, I was going to make sense, I was already buying a new battery until I realized that I was trying to pair it with the lamp the wrong way - the instructions might not be the best. After that, everything worked just fine.
If something to blame, instead of tightening the sticker, the remote control could have a slightly more robust mounting method. However, the buttons are supposed to be pressed while driving, so there could be some better competitor for the velcro fastening. However, it remains reasonably well in place.
