Revainrating 3 out of 5

I love a good price on bulbs and reflectors

Edit: Ok. Maybe I expected TOO MUCH from this product in terms of durability. After diagnosing the problem in the dark, I found that my broken headlights (on my front wheel) only work properly if I run an insulated wire and make a straight line from the battery to the edge of the rim. And where the lights start spinning In other words, because of what I use my bike for, which is going from Class A to Class B in under 15 minutes and covering 0.6 miles, I'm guaranteed to get my bike through some 'hard hits'. So basically the inner wires are frayed under the rubber. Just like you buy a cheap $10 pair of headphones but have to buy another one because the wires in the rubber snapped after a few months. I fixed my problem by "tying" the battery with longer zip ties. What I did was place the battery in a position where the light was solid and then attach the battery "sideways" to the spokes. first off. cracked sidewalks, wet grass, tree roots, potholes (my campus is horribly paved, looks like it was hit by an air raid), fat people waddling too slowly, construction sites and random rocks lying under all that grass. All this while tons of dust are flying everywhere. When I hit an obstacle (in other words, a huge bunch of fat men blocking my path, or those cult Scientologists) I usually mow the grass and downshift, ignoring any hidden obstacles and trying to maintain a safe speed . - Work at maximum speed before returning to the pavement. This may also be the case in your area. But I have terrible street planning at home. Both on campus and off campus. And if you expect your favorite bike to be abused, like my crappy $10 sale bike (rebuilt with cheap name brand parts), I don't recommend putting spoke lights on your bike or those fancy patterned lanterns. . Those daily rides will tear these things apart, but I'm disappointed that I only killed one bulb in the installation process (this was my second attempt, I did the back first and then bought another set for the front). Edit: I just noticed that these lights aren't very durable after a two week ride. My newest set of lights, red for the front, suffers from intermittent electrical contact problems. It doesn't turn on until I put the battery on the hub at a certain angle. Oddly enough, the "most painful" alignment between the power cord and the pack seems to be allowing it to stay powered on. The problem is probably in the contacts between the battery and the battery. As if I hadn't tightened it tight enough. I take care of it after school and when it gets dark. A bit disappointing because the lights are nice and bright. A lightbulb has lost power and now no longer lights up. Old review: I like the price. And easy installation. Here's how it works and make sure you buy extra narrow zip ties like Walmart or Harbor Freight or something similar. Preferably black or clear. So battery. It is held in place by zippers on the middle wheel hub. The package requires three AA batteries. The wire has these little, really tiny and bright Christmas lights (but not that crappy looking) that wrap around the spokes of your wheel. Be sure to wrap the power cord tightly around the first spoke. Then just take your time and wrap it around two needles at a time. Be careful not to damage the wires by over-tightening. Then take a pack of zip ties and tie each end to the end of a pin. You test the light again by pressing the button and when you're happy with that, you simply take your wire cutters and snip the excess length off your zip ties. I have photos to show you. Ever since I've received nothing but compliments, from the Walmart parking lot to the college campus, I've always been asked where to find them. Now reviewers complain that their second set of lights are a little brighter or dimmer. I don't have this problem, but in one of my shots, the back looks a little less bright than the front. It's just a problem with my phone's camera because too much background light from a nearby lamp post makes it appear less bright. I have a small gap in my headlights. It's a blown bulb because I made that wire too tight and I couldn't revive it. I chose red because I can leave the lights on while driving. Under the law of the state where I live, any additional light for your back must be red. And I noticed that people stopped chasing me at night when they saw my bike with a red light.

Pros
  • MAKES YOUR BIKE BEAUTIFUL AND SAFE AT NIGHT: Constant glow and continuous flashing. It looks very cool and very bright when riding, and it's a great security item for cars to see your bike at night.
