Review on 🚲 Cycle Torch Shark 550R Bike Light Set: USB Rechargeable, Free USB Tail Light, Easy On/Off – Ideal for Mountain, Kids, Street & Road Bicycles by Matt Vanlaere

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very bright and cosy.

UPDATED 6 23 18: This light is very bright. Batteries and expensive replacement parts that can be purchased separately save on battery purchases. Charging didn't take long. Headlight and taillight used a few times. Fastening straps are easy and quick. Great little flashlight for other tasks too. Feels solidly built. I bought another one for my wife. The lamp arrived on time and in good condition. Excellent packaging. I charged both lamps and they work as advertised. Now when we ride bikes, even in broad daylight, cars, people and vehicles can see both of us, especially when we ride in tandem. Easy to remove and reinstall with every ride for safety reasons. A little pricey but worth it for consistent quality, durability and reliability. I might buy another one if it had longer screws. HOWEVER, as reported by at least one other buyer, all of the tiny screws holding the front and back of the headlight have fallen out and cannot be found. Today I used this website to contact the seller and ask for replacement screws. I look forward to your answer. Updated 8/7/21: Seller sent longer screws. They helped, but not enough. The joint is fragile. Light is heavy and fragile. The screws give way when dropped. Masking tape held 1 of the 3 lamps I bought. It still works. The other 1 also needs longer screws. Duct tape works better than screws but looks awful. If I'm desperate, I'll write down the rest if they still work. Handy flashlight. Very bright, actually too bright for some purposes if you can figure it out. I am very surprised that the manufacturer has not at least replaced the short screws. If the case was covered in rubber, the light would be less affected by the fall.

Pros
  • EASY INSTALLATION - The headlight comes with a quick release mounting bracket. Once the silicone strap is wrapped tightly around the handlebars, you can easily insert and remove the bike light. The installation of the front and rear bicycle lights requires no tools, is simple and convenient.
Cons
  • Very Expensive
