The brightest light for seeing the road and very easy to install. Tail light does not work.
I ride my bike every night and I’m always looking for a good quality bike light, this bike light is really good, it has five LED bulbs for the front light, and a ring of small LED bulbs for the rear light, the light is extra bright, it’s free to choose Steady on or flashing mode, it is USB-charged and has a relatively large power storage. It can be used as a power bank to charge your phone when necessary. I am very satisfied with this bicycle night light.
Best light I’ve had, ever! The only faulty bit is the ring you put around the handlebar, which has this rubber bit to not slip but it ends up falling. Third time I buy the same light, so I guess it means I’m happy with it.
This full light set is brilliant for both recreational and commuter based cyclists.
The main light doubles as a power bank so you could charge your phone if required as well as using the light as you commute.
It’s packed with features from solid to flashing beams and is easy to use by either long press or quick press through the numbers on top of the light.
It’s easy to install the bracket on the handle bars of any bike and there is no unwanted movement whilst cycling.
The rear light is made of plastic but easy to attach and again has a mixture of functions from solid to flashing.
Great set even has a carry case, highly recommend.
I’ve had this light for about a month now .
I ride at night a lot and this is the perfect light for me.
The battery lasts me all night, even when I forget to charge it. It also has plenty of settings to choose from so you have just the right amount of brightness for your needs.
The 5 modes and 5200mAh battery make it worth every penny.
They are the best set of bike lights I have ever used!
Highly recommend!
This is a great light set. The front is a chunky metal beast with LED battery display. Brightness is fabulous, 1600 lumen at this price point is very impressive. You fit the mounting bracket on once using the shim for tightness and then the light can be easily mounted and released. Lots of modes to use depending on conditions and battery life remaining. The rear light isn’t quite so impressive but will do a job. You may want to shop around for a better one if you’re a regular night time marauder and try and fix this onto your helmet or backpack.
I love the display that shows how much life there is on the battery, and it really does last a long time, especially if you have it on a lower brightness. On full whack, they’re good enough for trail ridingin the dark, and there are plenty of lower settings amplefor a “be seen” city ride. Solid construction, good fixings. Very happy wth them.
The headlight has multiple light functions – single click turns on the light then cycles from low(1), medium(2), high(3) and off on the following clicks – double clicking the button activates the high beam(4) setting and then off on the next click – the final mode is activated by holding the button down for two seconds and that is the flashing mode(no corresponding number on the LED screen).
After the mode has been selected, the correspondence mode number will disappear and a number from 1-9 will be displayed, this is the battery percentage of multiples of ten.
On the base of the headlight there is rubber cover protecting a USB C input and a standard USB output, the input is for charging the light and the output is for charging your smartphone which is always handy to have!
The tail light has multiple modes too in the order High, Medium, Low, Slow Flash, Pulse Flash, Fast Flash, the modes will cycle back to the start and to turn off the button needs to be held for two seconds. The last mode that was activated will be the same mode it starts on when it’s turned back on.
On the reverse of the taillight there is a rubber cover which protects the micro USB input which is for charging the light, there is no output port on the taillight like the headlight has.
For 26.99 it’s not a bad price for the set as it provides everything you need for safe night cycling, there are cheaper sets available that can offer the same light modes and similar quality. Whichever product you decide to buy, you have reviews which can guide you to the good products

I often wanted to go out riding over the park in the evening in winter but the dark nights always put me off. There are no excuses with these lights as you can easily see where you are going due to their brightness. They are solid and well built and really feel quality made.
They are fitted easily with no tools and stay in place well. Easily charged via usb cables.
They are really well priced too and IPX6, so great in all weather.
Good quality materials used to give a good product
Very bright with choices of type of illumination
Easy to mount and to remove so it wont get stolen
Rear light, not so robust as the front light – bright however and again choices of flashing or steady light and very bright
All in all very good price for a quality produc
For the money this is an absolute steal. It’s easy to fit to your bike, easy to take off to charge up. It has a readout to tell you how much charge is left. On full brightness it’s good enough to do a mountain bike route at night. There is quite a wide throw of the beam which illuminates what’s in front of you and beyond. It feels well made considering it’s less than 30 and comes with a simple rechargeable rear light it’s great value too, definitely recommend do it all light for bikes. So far the battery has lasted well.
This is definitely one of the best bicycle lights iv had and seen, the different light modes go from dim but still light enough to be seen to wow super bright and I mean car on full beam bright and changing light mode is simple just click and the display will tell you what level brightness you are on, the display also helps when charging going for 1 to 10 and 10 being full charged, the front light is very well made a little heavy but the bracket to attach it to the bike is more than up to the job and easy to install, with a quick release button to take the lamp off while leaving the clamp attached, the rear light is small but also very bright with different modes from stay on to different flickering modes, I would definitely recommend this lamp for the price and to stay safe now the nights are drawing i
Very satisfied with the quality of this bike light.
Works perfect, quite easy to attach it to bike.
Very bright light which have 5 lighting modes.
The big plus its that the light are rechargable.
Im very happy with the product and its price.
So surely can recommend it to all.
The nights, as they say, are fair drawing in. I’ve lost count of the number of invisible cyclists I’ve almost run down, so if you don’t want to add to the horrific stats on injuries and deaths, get yourself a sensibly priced pair of lights like these. I’m happy with the amount of light spread in front and behind, and also happy to have a USB rechargeable option.
This item should have been 5 stars it’s only let down by the rear light which doesn’t feel as good as the great quality of the main light. i can’t fault the main light in any way strong, very bright, great value. it’s just A+ but the rear light just doesn’t have that tactile quality feel. it gives out a good light and rechargeable
The description is correct, the headlight is so bright! but can be turned down/angled slightly down so you don’t blind anyone.
Like the varying modes on both lights, both easy to install, work well, haven’t had to charge them yet either!
Love that it doubles up as a power bank, also charging on USB C
They do cost a little more then other sets, but I think the cost is worth it for this set, they seem real quality!
This is a good value bike light set. The main headlight has 5 strong LEDs and 4 different power levels (3 separate clicks or a double click for high power).
The display is nice and easy to understand, with a battery level indicator on the display (9 being a full battery).
The mount system is sturdy and easily fits into handlebars. There’s also a little movement either left or right to accommodate bars that aren’t perfectly straight.
The rear light is fairly small and basic, yet is convenient for fitting on most bikes.
Overall, this is good value for the price and a bike light set that I can definitely recommend.
QUICK SUMMARY
A nice bike-light set with the solidly built and very bright headlight looking good for night-time cycling in country lanes etc. The ‘bonus’ rear light is remarkably small, light and handy with average performance. Good value-for-money overall
N.b. To avoid confusion the set I’m reviewing here came to me in September 2022 via the B0B822GNNB uk listing on Amazon.
**** Detailed review ******
WHATS IN THE BOX ?
A powerful ‘cycle headlight’ and a small rear light.
A handlebar fixing clip with quick release, a rubber-loop type rear light strap and a soft carrying case.
n.b. The headlight part has the option of a ‘locked-off’ setting (L) (see the video in my review) which then needs a long press to turn it back on again.
CHARGING
Cables were included; a USB — USB C for the headlight and a shorter USB to micro USB for the rear. A full recharge of the ‘headlight’ from empty took 10 hours.
The headlight shows its charge state on a nice clear display as a flashing ‘dot’ and a 0 –> 9 number until ‘9 and a steady dot’ show as it approaches ‘full’.
The rear light flashes a central red LED while charging then goes steady in under 1 hour from empty.
LIGHT SETTINGS
The headlight power settings run from low (showing 1 on LED), to medium (2) and high (3) then via a ‘double tap’ up to a boosted ‘very bright’ mode (‘4’) In each mode, after a moment, the display switches back to show the current battery state as a 9 –> 0 display. There is also a very bright strobe mode.
The ‘very-bright’ mode(4) on the headlight is initially brighter than any torch I have to compare. Based on my other torches and headlights well above 1000 lumens (!) Quite a bit of heat is also generated in the metal case while running at this ‘boost’ level (less so on other levels).
‘High (3)’ setting got most use though and seems close to 1000 lumens initially. The beam shape was great for night cycling with a bright centre to the beam and a good surrounding area of light for a broader view of the situation and of approaching bends etc. Like many such lights and torches the initial light output drops off somewhat as the battery empties but it remains a nice bright beam in the dark until it shut down at around 4 hours. The Battery charge indicator had dropped to ‘5’ at 1 hour left to run.
Medium (2), even with the battery near empty, still provides a usable bright beam of light.
Low (1) is; lower. More suited to walking than dark-night cycling in my view (Also makes a good pocket/emergency light at home as it lasts ages and stands nicely on its sides or rear end).
In total it reached over 17 hours on a full charge with the initial light output much reduced but still useful even near the end. The Battery charge indicator had dropped to ‘5’ with 3 hours left to run.
The beam is a ‘cool’ white and uses all 5 LEDs to create a pleasing ‘narrow plus wide’ beam pattern on all settings and the colour shows up well on roads and grassland.
To help with junction and crossing safety the headlight (and rear light) both have small areas of their lens/reflector that direct a little of the light out to the sides too.
REAR LAMP
The small rear lamp included in the pack is a nice bonus but, as size suggests, doesn’t have the same power as some larger tail lights. It’s small, light and easy to use though and offers 3 steady and 3 strobe light options.
The highest settings, ’50/50 on/off strobe’ and ‘highest steady light’ each lasted about 3 hours on a full charge while using the ‘least-bright steady’ setting instead extends that to over 8 hours.
USING AS A CHARGER PACK
Recharging a phone or GPS (or the rear light) is possible using a USB outlet under the same protective flap on the headlight.
On a quick test this was giving out a little over 5V at almost 1 Amp into a 30% charged iPhone which is a good voltage and charge rate if a quick boost is needed. Charging for a very long period will of course leave significantly less (or no!) power for lighting.
PHOTOS
‘Very bright’ beam where the required area and gates are well and fully lit by the headlight and
‘Low’ beam where my shadow — in light cast by a nearby streetlight – is still clearly seen with the headlight spot also visible/adding some ‘spot illumination’ in that direction too.
My camera has tried to make the two brightness levels look a bit closer in the photos than they actually were, but the beam strength and visibility of my shadow due to nearby streetlighting gives you a good indication.
Also ‘Rear light size’ vs a wine cork and the ‘rear beam’.
And how to work the transportation lock
This is a good bike light set essential for anyone who cycles at night.
It comes with a front and tail light. The front light is bright and has 5 different lighting modes; low, medium, high, brightest and flash.
The tail light gives off a red glow and is ideal for letting vehicles know you’re there.
You’re able to charge via USB-C and with a large 5,200mAh battery, it can last 4 hours on the brightest setting. You’re also able to use the light as a power bank to charge a phone in emergencies, which is an added bonus.
There’s also a digital display to show the remaining battery power, which is ideal for knowing exactly when it needs recharging.
All in all, it’s a good bike light set for the price at 26.99, which was the cost at time of writing.
I hope you found this review helpful.
Superb looking bike lights.. The main front light is encased in aluminium looks and feels like a solid Waterproof light has functions to increase the level of brightness also a strobe to let other drivers know your on the road.. comes with a bracket that can be securely attached to your handlebar The rear light is also Fantastic although looks to be less securely attached as it only has a rubber mount to secure… But with a little modification I’m sure it’ll be fine on roads… Comes with USB charger lead to charge both lights….
For the price the lights look and feel fantastic well made products…

Can’t fault this, I rarely hand out 5 stars, but this deserves them!
1,600 Lumens, trust me that’s bright! Tried this out last night and it was like driving my car not my bike, everything was illuminated, made the light I had on my bike (which I thought was pretty bright), look as if its battery was running out! This is impressive
I took a couple of photos in the back garden last night before taking this and another light I’m reviewing out for a test last night. The first photo is the light that comes with my e-Bike, it was angled a little too low in this shot (I adjusted it later on the ride along the river), but even still as you can see there’s a huge difference! I need to retake the shots I took on the ride, as they will show how much further this light illuminates (I’ll upload in a day or two).
There’s 4 brightness settings and a flashing mode on the front light. The rear light bright too, it has several brightness and flashing modes too, long press to switch on and off, it remembers you last setting when you switch it back on.
Hope my review was helpful
