Good Deal, bright enough for the city. Nice small lights for evening riding in the city. Not bright enough for nighttime trail riding but small, cheap, removable. What more could you ask for for $10.
Great for blink lights, Okay for seeing in the dark. I bought this set to comply with bicycle light laws in San Francisco, and these lights got the job done. Both the head lamp and the tail light have a couple of settings: on and blink. I would recommend using blink, at least for the head lamp, to save the batteries.
If you’re looking for a head lamp to illuminate the road/trail, this is not the set for you. The lamp does do a halfway decent job of lighting the area in front of you, but there are better options in terms of battery life and illumination. On the other hand, if you just need a front blink light, this lamp works wonderfully. Since the lamp doesn’t give off tons of light, you won’t feel like you’re driving into a strobe light while it’s blinking. Most importantly, people will easily be able to see you with the lamp.
The rear lamp is pretty standard, and makes you plenty visible.
The braces for attaching the lights to your bike are plastic, but solid nonetheless.
To conclude, this is the perfect set of blink lights, and a mediocre head lamp for vision in the dark.
