Review on 🚴 Blackburn Dual-Purpose Front and Rear Bicycle Light by Luca Washington

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Bright, visible from afar, works for a long time and charges via USB.

I bike to and from work in San Francisco. When it gets dark or even during the day, this light can be seen very well from afar. I bought this two pack because it's small, very bright, has different lighting settings, has interchangeable front and back buttons in case one breaks, and is USB rechargeable. It works well as a backlight because cars and cyclists can see me from afar. As a front light, I know it won't illuminate the path ahead. I bought this so OTHERS can see me. One thing I worry about is that in 3 flash mode it might be TOO bright at night for other cyclists. That's why I was able to direct the front light to the ground. I can't determine the direction of the light because it's attached to the back of my helmet. I bought this package in 6/2017. This is 02/19/2019. One broke from having to constantly hook and unhook it/bend my back to reload it. I charge them once a week. I always turn in front. I only turn on the back at night. Sooner or later they would break. Once the back breaks I won't trust her bond anymore and wonder if she won't fall out when I really need her. So I replaced it with another light. Overall I like this set but it can be a bit too bright.

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • Updates available
