Provide Better Visibility While Biking
These little lights are the best and do exactly what you want them to do. Plenty of reviews describing what they are and how to use so I will address a couple complaints I read. The rubber bands (you get 4) are just that...rubber. So don't be stretching them too hard or far or they will break. Just clip one end onto the light, wrap around any bar on the bike and affix the other end to the plastic lip on the clip. Another complaint I read was that one of the plastic clips broke. Again, don't pull on the clip too far or hard. You need to pull it out just enough to get one end of the rubber band inserted and in place. If you pull too hard it's going to break. Finally, the materials used are basically just plastic casing with LED lights inside. If you drop or mishandle chances are they are going to break. At this price I didn't expect high quality materials.
That being said they work great. I generally set them to the slow blink mode as I think that creates the best visibility in traffic. If you are riding at dusk or in darkness they definitely stand out. I have noticed since putting them on that oncoming cars do notice them and start moving over a little earlier. I generally charge once a week but could go longer. Since a bike is basically nothing but tubes, you can pretty much put them whereever you want so versatility is available. Very happy with this purchase.
