PowerSpa® All Chrome 4-Setting LED Shower Head with Air Jet LED Turbo Pressure-Boost Nozzle Technology; 7 colors of LED Lights change automatically every few seconds by POWER SPA
4.0 out of 5 stars Light is lacking in power but water pressure is good., January 25, 2017
See video on Amazon.com  This air jet LED turbo powered chrome showerhead is a great replacement for the old one that had brittle rubber jets. I choose this one for the nice simple look and the the jet options. It is sturdy and well made overall. As an added bonus I thought it would be cool to have the changing colored lights. This feature is powered by the running water so there are no batteries to mess with.

Although the showerhead works great and cuts down on water consumption I am disappointed with the main feature that sets it aside from its competitors. The lights rotate in color like described and shown by the pictures but the lights are not near as bright as shown. I was led to believe that these lights would light up the shower to create a cool or calming experience. If I was to turn my back to the showerhead I would never notice any difference and only a little difference with the lights out in my small bathroom.

This showerhead is great for those that want to do the replacement themselves. All you have to do ir unscrew the old showerhead and then hand tighten this one on. The rubber gasket seals it from leaking so you don’t need to use any of the white plumbers tape.

Overall I give this product 4 stars. It does its job well but the selling point for me is the lightshow which is dimmer than the pictures. See the attached video and picture for more detail.

Gomer Hat reviewed:
Night Provision™ ULTRA BRIGHT BX-960 USB Rechargeable Bike Light Headlight & Flashlight LED 960 Lumen by Night ProVision
5.0 out of 5 stars Great light., January 25, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
See video on Amazon.com  I have done reviews on other bike lights as well as flashlights but this one has a few feature that really stands out from the rest. The three areas that I always consider first are usage time, brightness and durability.

Usage Time: The Night Provision BX-960 uses a 18650 rechargeable battery that is charged by a USB cable. It seems everything these days is going to a USB cable but that is not what makes it stands out What makes it stand out is the fact is the battery itself. The battery is removeable and replaceable. A quick search online will find you 2 extras plus a charger for them for around $10. This means not only are you going to get any where from 2 hours in high mode to 14 hours of use in the low mode but you can pack a few extra charged batteries to keep you going as long as you need. Another point to make on this topic is that the included battery is rated at 2300mAh (the included manual says it is 2600mAh). I would think this would mean if you get the 6000mAh replacement batteries then one of those batteries would run for at least 4 hours each on high since they are twice the milli amps of the included battery. Another great feature of this light is the fact that it warns you with a color code in the indicator light what your current battery life is. There's nothing worse than not knowing the status of your battery while depending on it for light.

Brightness: The Night Provision BX-960 uses a XM-L2 T6 LED instead of a bulb. Many lights like this are going to these LED’s because they are much more long lasting than conventional bulbs. Because I am so interested in the technical qualities I did some reserch and found out that the XM-L2 T6 LED is the brightest and best in its class. They did not go cheap.

Durability: This also needs to be a strong factor of consideration if you are a trail rider or mountain biker. This flashlight seems like it will take quite a beating and may come out of a hard crash with nothing more than a scratch. The case itself seems to weigh less than the battery but is very durable. IF anything will fail on this it will be the handlebar mount which is all made of plastic. The mount is great and I love the knob on the back that ratchets the holder to just the right diameter.

I have included pictures of the three light settings (high-med-low) along with a video.

Cycle Torch Night Owl USB Rechargeable Bike Light #mycycletorch


Image provided by CycleTorch.com

I took some picture to like they did on their website to show the distance that these light can be seen. Both the headlight and tail light can be seem from at least 500 away in their high or constant state. The taillight which runs off of 2 CR2032 button batteries lasts up to 50 hours. The headlight is rechargeable and will last anywhere from 2-40 depending on what mode it is used with. The recharging is done by an included USB cable which allows you to charge it in the same way you would change any of your other devices.

View of headlight from over 500 feet away (bright light just above parked car)

View of red tail light from over 500 feet away (bright light red light white lights straight ahead of walking tracks in the snow)


I need to mention that this headlight has a charging indicator that I have not seem on other lights. If I press the button for 3 second and then release it will flash the light for every 10% of batter life remaining. For instance mine just flashed 8 times so it still has 80% battery life which means that I used it for about 24 minutes since I have only used it on high. Reading though the manual online it warns that:

“It is strongly recommended to recharge Night Owl 200 when there is less than 20% load (see: check the battery charge level). Do not wait until the light goes completely out as this will greatly reduce the number of charge cycles that the battery can be used and can render the battery unusable. Charge your bike light each 2-3 months when stored or not in use to prevent battery degradation.” 

This is important to note because I am used to running a light almost dead and then putting in new batteries. Since this is rechargeable I don’t have the option of carrying batteries for replacement.

One of the other features that I really like is the rubber bands to are used to strap the light onto the bike. They have incidental sections to that it fits multiple sizes of handle bars or seat posts. I the web site days that the headlight can also be mounted on a helmet with additional hardware not provide in the original package. What makes this set up really nice for me is it is a breeze to move the lights from one bike to another or to remove them while be bike is parked in a public area.

Overall the dimensions are small and they are light weight but don’t be fooled. This set is very bright and much better than others that I have had. Cycle Torch has done a great job at providing a great products at a very affordable prices. Not to mention that the 365-days returns completely free warranty registration page on their website literally has only 6 fields to fill in to cover the product.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs instructions and lacks water shutoff in the connector., November 23, 2016
This nozzel is great but need insructions if the included parts are going to be in the package. This nozzel is in good compition with its competiotors and maybe a step ahead of some due to the thumb trigger that contols the water flow. It has 8 spary pattersn for a wide variety of uses and with the preasure being able to be adjusted easily without have int to continue to hold a trigger it is up their as one of my favorites. I rated this as just OK because i feel it is lacming in some areas.

The major areas is the lack of instructions. I ordered this partially because it seemed to be a quick connect set up but most of the extra parts don't screw onto a hose. The only thing I can think of is that it is pleased on a hose to repair on that has had the ends cut off. If that is the case it is a great idea but I wish i had known that before i bought it and that their were instructions to show me how to do it correctly instead of guessing.

Another issue that I hope will be addressed is the fact that it is a quick connect but I still have to shut off the water before connecting it. May be I am expecting too much or am lazy but other quick connect adapters have had a mechanism in the female end that does not allow water flow unless the male end is seated firmly in the connection.

Please don't get me wrong. I like this product but wish it functioned better to my expectations. As a side note it does come with extra rubber washers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extra length if you need it, November 23, 2016
I will start by saying that I did not measure before i bought this so the mat is longer than I needed but that is OK. We previously had a mat in our tub mainly to keep the baby who is now sitting up from sliding around in the tub. It is also great for the safety of my other children as well. this mat functions and appears very similar to the other mat with one main difference (besides the length) of the cut-out on one end that goes around the drain. My chief complaint with the other mat was that it partially covered the drain making it slower to let the water out. This has fixed the issue.

My kids like this mat because "the bumps feel good on my feet" and the suction keeps it in place. If is kind of funny to listen to it when you peel it up to when cleaning the tub and at first all my kids wanted to try. i had to tell them that it was not a toy otherwise they all were going clean the tub just so they could have a turn peeling it up...I must be sick not allowing my kids to do extra, unnecessary chores.

5 stars. I lives up to its claims and I have no complaints since I can't find anything wrong with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good product with a twist, November 23, 2016
I like this product. I have other pacifier clips that work equally well to these in most ways but these stand out because of a few key features.

As a comparison the similarities include:
*made of durable cloth material
*seams are well sewn
*attractive pattern
*ability to use with more than just pacifiers
*washable
*great clips made of plastic

The differences that make these stand out from the competitor:
*they glow in the dark when they have been in the light for a sufficient amount of time
*the sting to attach to the pacifier or toy of a thinner ribbon than the thin braided strings of others
*the silicone attachment for "old school" pacifiers-this may be useful for some for their intended purpose but for me they are just great for my baby to chew on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and well made., November 18, 2016
Simple and is the name of the game. I have been using binder clips to hold come of my cables for awhile now. They work alright but you have to have the right size for the desk thickness which also determines what size cord it will hold. If the desk was thick i would have to use a 1' binder clip but then the lightning charging cable would fall through it. The Vorfreude® Cable Clips take care of these issues.
I love that they come in different colors but you can also get them in plain white of black if you want to be more conservative. The 3M sticky backing is great and hold well. I have also tried to peal the cable clip off a few of my desks a number of time to see if the stickiness is a one time thing or if they will hold be placed a few different time. I am happy to say that they re-stick and have not even pealed up the wood laminate finish like other sticky things might.
I also like that the set I have has three channels which allows me to have multiple cables secured at the same time without having to use multiple cable clips.
5 stars for a simple well made product that I have needed for a while.
