I run in the mornings, 80% of the time while it’s dark. I had high hopes for these lights, in all honesty I did see that the Co. was out of the rugged/hiking lights that I thought would be better so I gave these a chance. While running you can barely see in front of you, they’re really no help at all, but I can definitely see them helping if I were walking my dogs or something with a slow pace, but not running… they should really take that word out of the title.
