Updated 2019 Version USB Rechargeable Bike Light Set, Runtime 8+ Hours 400 Lumen Super Bright Headlight Front Lights and Back Rear LED,4 Light Mode Fits All Bicycles, Road, Mountain

First off, my kit came with 8 replacement batteries for the back light. My primary use for the light set was for my kid’s bike. Overall, it’s fantastic. Bright and clear, and the main light is rechargeable, which is wonderful. The brightness is pretty good. I love that each light has multiple modes. Blinking (especially on the back) is much more attention getting to cars than solid. The mounting system is simple and super easy to install or remove. The weak point is on the main light. It has a tiny piece of plastic that holds the light as it slides onto the bike mount. I’m not sure it’s necessary for it to come off, except it allows you to leave the mount attached, but like I said, the mount is so easy to attach and remove. The clip on the mount, frustratingly, blocks the USB charging port. So you do have to remove the light to charge. The battery life on the main light is decent, but not amazing. It does have a change needed indicator light (red) on the side which is really helpful. Overall, a great light for the price. I would highly recommend for a kids bike.

I actually ordered this set because I needed a rear light, but I thought the set looked really nice, and I was hoping to eventually move over to a complete rechargeable set anyways. So I bought the set. I really like it, especially the blinking mode because it doesn't seem to follow a set pattern, making you more visible as a biker at night. The low beam light is also nice when you are riding in a place with more people (like on campus for me) and you want to be visible to the pedestrians but not blind them. When I first opened it, the little rubber cover that covers the charging port came off completely. I don't think I was pulling particularly hard, but it came off. With a little bit of cajoling with a small flathead screwdriver I was able to get it back into the position where it is supposed to go. So don't pull too hard on the charger port cover. A couple of things to be aware of: 1)When I first got this I was expecting the rear light to be rechargeable. It is not. The sellers do provide you with 6 of the watch batteries that charge the rear light, so that should last for quite some time. Just don't expect the rear light to be rechargeable. 2)Make sure to secure the rear light tightly. I have this attached to my lunchbox holder frame that goes above the rear wheel. My first couple of days I would get to work or home to find the light had turned off. After a little experimentation I found that when I hit bumps, the rear light would flick up and hit part of the metal frame. This would turn the light off. Once I had the light attached more securely this was no longer a problem. All in all it is a great light set. I would certainly recommend the front light to a friend, I just wish the rear light was rechargeable.

My son found one of these and we were impressed with its brightness . It stopped holding a charge so I wired in to my hub generator and it works well. The light pattern is great with a bright narrow beam and enough side light to see the road well. We bought 4 more of these sets and two work well but two have to be charged every day or they don’t hold a charge. The switches on the bad units are vague. You can’t tell if they are off or on. I suspect the batteries go dead from internal discharge. No matter. For $16 these are nice sets, when they finally go dead we hook them to the generator and they will serve our needs. The taillights are nothing special. Just small watch battery buttons. Part 2: after several months, the two well made units are still going strong. Put 2 of these on your handlebars and it’s like you’ve got a car light. The 2 units that wouldn’t hold a charge still are working but we have to hook them up everyday. Leave them for 2 days without a hookup and they go dead. But the positive is the beam pattern. Most of the lights on the market put out a conical beam. It works well on a helmet as a spot but as a low angle handlebar light the pattern isn’t as good. These lights really let you see ahead and give you that peripheral that make for a much more comforting commute on a pitch black bike path. Part 3 ( will this ever end?) a lot of the complaints about this set has to do with the front mounting system. It is cheap and you see it on an awfully lot of lights these days, even more expensive ones. We take some sort of elastic strap( rubber bands from asparagus or broccoli work well) and use them to hold down the light better. I’ll try and take a picture. Loop it around the front of the light body take it under the handlebar, then loop it again on the back of the light. It makes it much stronger and stable. Then you don’t have to stretch the mounting strap so tight on the handlebar. Shame to not use a good light just because the mounting strap snaps. Well I was going to add a photo but Amazon wants too much access so never mind. Hopefully you can figure this one out. So again, 2 of the 4 units we purchased need to be recharged every 24 hrs, but the other 2 are still functioning very well and are a joy to use. The 2 bad units were obviously defective from the start and may even have been returned units. So if the switches feel vague you might consider returning them right quick. Otherwise if you get good ones you’ll see they are excellent lights. Recommend.
