 My experienceFeb 24, 2010
By J. Huster
I got this product for my cane. My wife said, "What are you? 12?" Hah, little did she know my plans of eventually turning my cane into a bluetooth phone.
Anyway, it's a great concept, but there are some design issues. Let's look at the good side first. The light only requires pushing the button on the butt end of the light. And the button glows in the dark. For a while. Until you're in the dark too long. Which pretty much makes it not any more handy than it sounds. And I'm not sure how waterproof it sounds. I'm not planning on swimming with it, but it does rain a lot here in the Pacific NW. Wow, and that's the good points. Oh, wait, a real good point is the fact that the light rotates 360 degrees. I hold my T-cane essentially backwards, so rotating the light, I can keep it in the right direction instead of turning the cane around if I want to use the light.
Now the bad. First is, to keep the cane from swinging too much out of balance, the clamp has to sit up high on the cane. Occasionally bumping it with my fingers, combined with the clamp being made to easily open, resulted in the entire assembly falling off of my cane numerous times. I ended up adding a real bolt in front of the finger clamp toggle.
Second is that the light is pretty fragile. As a previous reviewer noted, they had to tape it together. And if you open the light holder enough times, it won't stay shut, resulting in the light falling out of the holder. It's a nice enough light, but drop your cane a few times, and you definately end up taping the light together.
So I secured the clamp using another bolt. Then I replaced the fragile light with a durable aluminum 85-lumen light. Lumen is a measurement of brightness. If I had to guess, the original light probably is probably dribbling along at 15-25 lumens. Again, having the light holder open up on me with the original light a number of times, I also ran a black electrical wire strap around the light holder. I can still rotate the light, and I don't have to worry even if I do drop the cane. Or walking in the rain. The cane is about 5 oz. heavier with these modifications, but because the holder is high up on the cane, it only has a tiny effect on how the cane handles.
Bottom line, with modifications, what a great idea! If only I didn't have to make all those modifications.
Well...off to turn my cane into a bluetooth phone.

 Perfect, exactly what I was looking forApr 21, 2010
By D. Krepak
Getting around with a walker at night without the lights on can be hazardous. Having this light that you can attach to the walker is perfect. The light is bright, you can see at least 12-15 feet in front of you. Swivels so you can direct the light straight ahead or point it more to the floor. The back of it where you push it in to turn it on is white, not quite glow in the dark but makes it easier to find at night to turn it on. Easy to install, directions not needed to install. Comes with 3 triple A batteries. Definitely a bargain for the price.

Love ItDec 02, 2009

This little flashlight is incredible. I have it mounted to my power chair. It attaches easily and works great. It functions as a headlight or swing it around and it is a back-up light. It clips on and off simply to use as a regular flashlight. The 14 LED's provide plenty of illumination. I love it.

Outstanding Little FlashlightJan 09, 2011
By K. Royce
"kaproyce"
The flashlight attaches very well to my walker. It is bright and very skimpy on the batteries. I've had the flashlight now for about six weeks and have fallen asleep with it on. I still haven't gone through the same set of batteries that came with it. I can adjust the flashlight in pretty much any direction I want to. It attaches securely but comes out of the holder easily. That is important for me since I don't have feeling in my hands. I do like the white on off button. The button makes it very easy to find it in the dark. There is one detail is important here: the flashlight attachment comes with two different widths of rubber pads that go around the walker or wheelchair leg so that the flashlight sits on legs of different sizes and that is what helps make it a universal attachment. All in all, well thought out and designed.
Overall, I highly recommend it is a very good buy.

versatile lightMay 16, 2011
By Butch
Great Product. Easily installed on a 4 wheel walker. Bright light that can be removed from holder to use such as opening doors at night. Best thing is flashlight is adjustable - can have it turned toward ground for safety or straight ahead to see where you are going.
