Review on 🚴 Enhance Your Bike's Safety with the Kryptonite Comet F500 Front LED Bicycle Headlight & Meteor R300 Rear LED Bicycle Indicator Light by Mikey Jackson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent bike light Best visibility

I don't ride my bike much at night, but will inevitably ride at dusk in the fall or spring when the days are shorter. Over the years I've tried a number of different bike lights and in that time I've learned that there's a big difference between bike lights that are designed for night riding and visibility lights that warn others of the lights' presence. cyclist. Kryptonite Comet F500 clearly belongs to the second category. It can be used for night driving, but the light output is pretty poor and I wouldn't risk driving with this light alone in really dark conditions. As a visibility light, this is a pretty good product; It is inexpensive and has basic lighting capabilities including steady, blinking and fast interval strobe. The F500 can probably survive years of use even with its cheap plastic body and components. Three AAA batteries (included) power the front light and provide energy for up to 15 hours. I couldn't find any information on the light output (lumens) of the F500 and this product doesn't even show up on the Kryptonite bike light page/website. Like many bike lights, this one does not require use. any assembly tools. This light uses a built in screw and clamp mechanism to attach it to a bike's handlebars and this feature works great. All in all, this is a good choice if you're looking for a cheap flashlight, mainly for visibility. If you're looking for a more serious, true night light, then I suggest looking for something better. Recommended with reservations.
