Review on Bentrance USB Rechargeable Bike Tail Lights: LED Cycling Rear 🚴 Turn Safety Signal Lamp with Wireless Remote Control & Multi-Functional Modes by Adam Martinez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The remote control is the weak point of this flashlight

This flashlight is sold by many resellers under different names. They are all the same, and the light part itself is fine. Where it doesn't work is the remote control, which is a problem with most of these lights. To keep them small and inexpensive, most of these lights (even the more expensive ones, which are rip-offs because they increase the price of cheap items just to make them appear like quality) use one of several cheap, mass-produced Bluetooth remote controls. You can tell by the fact that some still have some sort of imprint showing it was originally for the camera remote. This isn't a problem, except that they're so small that button placement can be a real issue. Like many cyclists, I wear gloves to protect my hands when I fall or to keep them warm on cool morning rides. But good luck trying to press the right button to turn left or right when the buttons are so close together and they also use a piece of silicone as the whole button. Also, the indicator on the button itself that shows which switch you've activated is basically unreadable in normal daylight. My tip: look for a light set with a remote control whose buttons are as far apart as possible.

Pros
  • Sport
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
