Review on 🚴 Topeak RedLite Aura Bike Tail Light: Compact, Red LED Safety Light - 5.5 x 4 x 2.2 cm by Rene Putman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Permanent install only - can't take it with me

I have a Topeak rack and thought it could use the clip I used with the RedLite II. However, it is not possible to use the clip-on attachment with this lamp. The only option is to bolt it directly to the bracket that goes to the bar or seatpost. I live in an area where if I leave something on my bike it won't be there in a few minutes so this was a deal breaker for me. I need to be able to take a flashlight with me when I lock myself in, which is not possible with this flashlight. Edit: It's technically possible to pull the light out of the clip left on the bike, but sometimes the rubber cap comes loose. the batteries may fall out. Also, the light started responding and turning on and off by itself, requiring me to remove the batteries when not in use.

Pros
  • Fits me great
Cons
  • Great price
