Review on 3 Super Bright Red LED Rear Carrier Light With Quick-Release And Batteries For Bicycles & Bikes - Vincita by William Mistretta

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great features, no flashing mode though

So,I needed a rear bicycle light. I wanted one that would also work as a reflector and also used regular AAA batteries (didn't want to mess with having to take the light off frequently to charge it). Finally,I wanted one that would bolt on (lights being stolen off of bicycles is a problem in my area)This reflector definitely is bright and reflective. It is larger than most other rear lights I've seen.It is sturdy and feels very solid.Customer service was very quick and responsive.It has all the features I thought I was looking for.So why not 5 stars?1. It is a steady light. There is no rapid flashing mode. The ad mentioned "flash" (I think they were taking about its reflective capabilities), but not a flashing mode. so I think I just didn't read the description closely enough.2. In order to attach it to my rear rack, you need to buy an adaptor. Now, several other rear light brands require that, but nothing was said about that in this one's description. I ended up needing to go with a different light because of not being able to easily attach it to my specific rack.I wrote the company who immediately refunded me.I would buy from this company again, just be careful about the language in the descriptions (I think English is a 2nd language for them).

Pros
  • Fits perfect on rear bike carrier rack
Cons
  • The three LEDs on the light might not be powerful enough to provide sufficient visibility, especially when biking on busy roads or at night
