Great little light, with a couple minor caveats...
Found a Flea front & rear light on a junk bike, sans charger of course. Bought another front to get the charger.
2 things: the contacts are magnetic, and the least little bit of grime/misalignment will prevent charging. A plug-in style port would be nice.
The strap that comes with the light is a bit long for attaching it to most handlebars/seat posts, but "it'll do".
Bottom line: there's a reason these little guys are probably the most popular bike led out there- they are amazingly bright, weatherproof, battery life is good, and they'll probably outlast your bike. Go git one! ;)Read full review

I wanted to like this but...
Charging with USB fob isn't nearly as simple and straightforward as with a USB cable and port found on most devices. Also doesn't seem to hold charge. I have stopped using and purchased an alternative front light for my road bike.Read full review

Great little unit!
I had one of these and the matching tail light already, but Blackburn has discontinued these for some reason and I lost the charger, so I bought 2 of these just to have soared and chargers. Super light weight, and right enough to get you home after dark. Light enough to be race gear, but who races at night??? Not me! The price was definitely right too!Read full review

Great alternative use - Quad Copter headlight!
I no longer need this as a bike light. Instead I'm using it as a spotter light for my quad copters. Using Velcro I attach it to the top of my Spark, MavicPro, and Parrot BeBop2. It's highest brightness setting helps me spot which direction the quad is facing, especially helpful when they are a few hundred feet away on the horizon. Recharging is easy and takes about 60 minutes depending on how depleted the battery was in the beginning.Read full review

Dim lighting- don’t recommend
The first Blackburn light I had years ago was amazing and super bright. This one I purchased has dim lighting and is a total dud. Will have the throw away the unit as well as the $$ I spent. DO NOT RECOMMEND!Read full review

Flea 2.0 front light
These are nice front accessory lights. I had one that would not charge and Blackburn immediately sent me another. It turned out to be the little USB charger stick.
It is still better to have a brighter main light and use these to supplement it by having one on your helmet or handle bars or both. Currently, I have two that charge with the USB and would highly recommend them.Read full review

Blackburn flea
For the price I paid 11.99 you can go wrong. Works perfect and so far no problem with charging. I usually go for a 1 hour ride each day and I recharge after the 4th ride just to be safe.I hsve 1 for bike handlebars an a red flashing 1 for my helmet. Very strong built product. Very happy with it .Read full review

small, bright, brief.
Lightweight and small, but good for only an hour or two. If you lose the proprietary charger, there is no replacement. In flashing mode, this light helps oncoming traffic see you, but it's not sufficient for night riding on irregular pavement.Read full review

Better options out there
Battery life is short. Mounting mechanism is flimsy. Recharging is more complicated than modern lights. It does have small form factor which is good, but much better options out there.
