I’m nightshift – 15 minutes to work on 4 days. On 5th day, I needed the lights for over 20 minutes.
I’ve not had to charge the lights in that time. To me, it gets 5 stars for that reason alone.
15.00 is about right for the price.
These lights have 8 modes for the front light and 12 modes for the rear light, which can be controlled separately by two buttons on each light. The front light has 21 LEDs, including two large ones in the center, and the rear light has 16 LEDs. They are very bright and visible from a long distance. They also have different flashing patterns, which can attract more attention and increase safety. The lights are USB rechargeable, and they come with a cable that can charge both lights at the same time. The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 58 hours on the lowest mode. The lights are IP65 waterproof, which means they can withstand rain and splashes. They are also easy to install and remove, with rubber straps that fit most handlebars and seat posts. They also have a hook on the top, which can be used to hang them on a backpack or a tent. The lights are made of solid plastic, and they feel sturdy and robust. They are not too heavy or bulky, and they do not interfere with the bike’s performance.
This pair of compact sized lights offer a variety of lighting modes to suit different scenarios be it for biking or hiking/camping.
The unique design feature is the placement of the LED light elements. Small LED’s are clustered on the circular periphery and larger ones clustered centrally.
These clusters can be controlled separately to obtain different lighting modes and also combined to achieve Maximum brightness.
No tools are needed for installing the lights as a silicone belt is used to wrap around fixing points of various diameters from seat posts, handlebars to helmets and also easily removed.
Both Front and Rear lights can be recharged simultaneously using the included USB C cable. The lights’ USB C ports are very well protected against dirt and moisture via rubber caps.
The bayonet style mounting offers 360 degrees of freedom (at 90 degrees intervals) so that the lights can be best orientated for accessing the switches.
Despite being made of plastic, these lights are quite robust and the IP65 rating is VERY relevant to the weather and road conditions here. They have been rained on as well as splashed with muddy water by passing trucks and are still going strong!
My only minor gripe:
I’m puzzled WHY the lumens (brightness) value of the Rear lights are less than the Front and not equal?
Overall these unique lights are solidly made and at the advertised price they are worthy of recommendation.
Pair of front and rear bike lights, with mounting bracket and charging cable.
The lights charge via a usb C connection, cable included. I haven’t let them fully run down so can’t comment on the full charge time from empty but they do seem to charge quickly.
The mounting brackets use a simple silicone strap which wraps around the bike and then clips into place. The light then screws onto the bracket with a quarter turn.
The lights have two elements to them, an outer ring which is an emits a softer light and a centre cluster of LED mini lights. The outer ring can be flashing or constant where as the inner LED lights have three modes of brightness. This gives different options for day and night riding. The two elements are operated by separate buttons, which have green indicator lights showing when they in operation.
The lights are very lightweight meaning they will all little weight to your bike but also your bag when you chose to take them off and carry them round.
A good set of lights with different options.
I hope you found this review helpful.
One of the standout features of these lights is the variety of modes available. This range of modes caters to different situations, from a steady beam for well-lit areas to a flashing mode for added visibility in low-light conditions. The flexibility in modes ensures I can tailor the lighting to my specific riding environment.
The ultra-bright LED lights are indeed impressive. They illuminate the path ahead brilliantly, making it easy to see and be seen by others. This added visibility adds a layer of confidence to my nighttime rides, especially on dimly lit roads.
The USB rechargeable aspect of these lights is a huge plus. It’s convenient to charge them using a USB cable, and the battery life is commendable. I can enjoy extended rides without worrying about the lights running out of power. The IP65 waterproof rating gives me peace of mind, knowing they’ll hold up in various weather conditions.
Installing these lights was a breeze. The set comes with everything needed for a secure and quick attachment to my bike. The durability of the lights and their mounts is evident, and they stay in place even during bumpy rides.
In summary, these are a fantastic addition to any cyclist’s gear. Their versatility in modes, bright illumination, rechargeable convenience, and easy installation make them a top choice for enhancing safety during night rides. Illuminate your ride with confidence and ride on!
Wow.. Great little lights for being seen in the daytime or at night. So many options on flashing, stable high, med or low intensity. Two seperately controlled lights in the one unit.. back or front..
Rear Light:
Two buttons on top…
One button cotrols the outer circle of LEDS and the other the centra lights.
You can use only one set of lights in the rear light unit if you want and its plenty bright enough but for added safety and visibility you should use both. You can chose so many options on one ring of lights flashing or not and or the brightness settings. Pressing the other button on the unit turns on the second set of lights in the same unit and then the fun begins as you have so many options on the flashing settings! Great rear light, love it.. I suspect once I have chosen what patern of lighting options I prefer I will simply stick with that as my go to preference! To turn off either set of LEDS in the unit press each button and hold for a few seconds. Do this with each button if you have both sets of LEDS on, to turn them off!
Front Light:
This also has two sets of independantly controlled LED in the same unit but there are not the flashing options on the front lights.
This light is extrememly bright. Both sets of LEDS can be independantly controlled by using each button seperately. The intensity of light can be changed on each set of LEDS.
I would suggest that youdo not lookdirectly into the lights as its not comfortable!
Charging the lights is easy as the lights come with a single USB Cable that has to USB C outlets to charge both lights through one cable. I like this as it means you are only taking up one USB port when charging if you are using your computer or a spare USB Plug.. A USB Plug charger is not provided but you can use your phone charger of course, or PC USB..
To attach to the bike there is a simple strap that does the job..
The lights are very lightweight and waterproof as I tested them on a ride and got caught in the rain for a good 30 mins before I got home..
Pros
General .
Both lights are in the same Case & same Strap, Very Good wide Straps , 19mm wide by 2.8mm thick .
The mounting point is like a Bayonet type fitting , and this fitting can be fitted at 4 different settings by
rotating the unit by 90 degrees.
( which allows better access to the “On” / “Off” Switches )
Good Size Light Lens of around 55mm Diameter .
Waterproof Good Units – IP65 Rated
( I tested the front Light , in switched on mode , in the sink at Home for 10 minutes under a slow running Tap – 5 Times the amount of water even in the worst Lancashire Rain )
Both Lights have Different Light Modes and Different Flashing Modes to extend the Battery Life.
I am sure than most people will find one they Like.
Front Light
2 Separate ( independent ) buttons which when switched on have a Green LED on them .
One Button Controls the Outer Circle of LEDs ( 18 smaller LED’s ) ( 150 lumens )
One Button Controls the Inner Circle of LEDs ( 7 larger LED’s ) ( 350 lumens )
Rear Lights
2 Separate ( independent ) buttons which when switched on have a Green LED on them .
One Button Controls the Outer Circle of LEDs ( 18 smaller LED’s ) ( 50 lumens )
One Button Controls the Inner Circle of LEDs ( 7 larger LED’s ) ( 50 lumens )
Cons / Possible Improvements
Front Light is 500 lumens which is very good, but the Rear light is only 100 lumens.
Also the Front Light is 13 grams heavier than the rear light , which i think is because the battery capacity for the front light is 1100 mah but the rear light is only 350 mah .
Why don’t they just fit the same 1100 mah Battery for both the Front & Rear Light ?
OK Instructions and are in good English but the instructions is a folded piece of paper which is
only 70mm by 50mm and not very Readable for people over 40.
Lights come in a Printed , Plain Cardboard Packing, which if given as a Birthday Present or Christmas
Present looks at first glance / first impressions a bit of a “Cheap” Present .
( But as quoted above these light units are Good Ones )
I believe the price point is a fair price at around 18, for these good waterproof lights
I hope this Helps.
Best Regards B.H.
[Summary]
I think they’re great little lights to have on the bike, honestly you need some if you cycle around a lot even if it’s just during the day I always have the rear light on low. Safety first.
[Design]
The overall design of them is pretty neat actually, I love that they just use the simple watch strap kind of attachment but the only issue with it is that if your bike’s struts are at an angle like mine, as you see the rear light faces down, and the front light faces up a good amount but you can easily rig it to face the correct direction. The addition of light modes is also perfect, I specifically use the outer rear LED’s in flashing mode and the inner ones solid, so you can definitely see me as you approach.
[Build Quality]
The build quality on them is also very good actually, great waterproofing and they feel very sturdy. They are majority made out of a solid plastic with rubber gaskets/covers to keep the charging ports and switches fully waterproofed.
[Performance]
They are very bright even during the day you will stand out with these lights on. As mentioned before the lights have various light modes from different flashing settings to adjusting the outer ring of LEDs and inner LEDs seperately, as well as dimming. I can’t give you a great battery life estimate at the moment but as it stands I’ve rode for around 4 hours from a full charge with both lights on, mainly the rear one on full brightness; and they still don’t have any indication of low batteries or such.
Fantastic lights! I am so impressed by the quality considering the reasonable price point. The lights themselves are quite large and well made. The quality gives me confidence they will probably last. Charging and operation is easy. I really like that there are two buttons so you can set the inner and outer lights independently. There’s lots of modes to cycle through ( pun intended ) and they are very bright. Highly recommend these lights. I am very happy with them.
For the price these lights are superb. The selection of flash modes is very impressive and both units are quite large, so should do a great job of letting people know you’re on the road. The front is more a safety light rather than for lighting your way, so if you’re looking for something ultra bright to help you see what’s in front of you, you may want to look elsewhere.
Battery life is quite good and will vary depending on which flash mode you use, and the method for attaching them to the bike so far seems secure.
All in all a great pair of lights for a good price.
Very good quality product perfect for my sons bike now the dark nights are here they are very bright and very easy to fit to the bike as and when he needs them the battery life is way better than I had expected and its great that they have own built in battery I definitely recommend this product very good value for money and very good quality

These bike lights are some of the best I’ve tried and tested… Fun the durable solid build quality to the materials used from the housing to the LED light design and functions…. You can’t go wrong with these… Also the method to attach them to your bike is secure and reliable so as not to fall off….
Simple to charge up and fantastic battery life and light modes….
Easily comparable to much more expensive brands….
What I like about these is that each one has two sets of LEDs in them; a centre array plus outer ring. Each set has its own button too which means you can operate them separately, eg the front light I switch the centre lights on bright to give a beam to see the ground ahead, and the outer ring set to flashing mode to keep me more visible to other road users.
I do similar with the rear red light too, it means there’s every chance that others will see you.
Easy to mount, each has one of those elastic stretchy things holding a mount clip. You then push the light onto it and turn it to click it in place. With all lights of this type you perhaps have to be careful you don’t knock them as it can be easy to dislodge it from the mount, but all’s good if you don’t abuse them.
Comes with a USB lead to charge them, so no need to keep swapping batteries.
Brightness is good on high level too, meaning you can see where you’re going with the front light.
Overall a pretty good set of bike lights.
