Revolights Eclipse Bicycle Lighting System, 700c/27-Inch

Paying this amount was a massive consideration and on review it was a complete waste of money. Monkey lights are far superior at a fraction of the cost. Firstly the lights didn’t fit the bike I wanted them on. Contacted the company who encouraged me to hack away at the overly expensive plastic rubbish to enable them to fit. Didn’t bother and put them on my second choice bike instead. Now over the last 18 months there have been battery issues as the connections on the wheel hub are knackered and the lights no longer work. The plastic release of one of the batteries has also broken off. Considering these are only used in the winter for a few months at a time, these are pathetic lights. Don’t bother, you have been warned. Expensive tat.

After a winter in the UK it is time to give a review of the product. They were easy to install, takes about 30mins for both wheels. Once on they have only needed to be adjusted once.They definitely get you noticed and a number of people have stopped me to ask about them. They are very bright head on and from the side. I use one junction into the train station where people are not looking properly. You can see that they are not looking but they always stop because of the side illumination. However they do not spread the light to use in unlit areas. If you are riding in unlit areas all the time you would need a front light.One issue I have at the start was finding the light button. On a black rim, in the dark it is very difficult to find the battery light button. I put a strip of white tape by the button so I can find them.They have stood up to all the grit and grim and being banged about putting my locks on and off.Yes they are expensive however I now have the confidence to commute in the dark, knowing I will be seen, therefore for me, worth every penny.

The most amazing, coolest looking, head turning, under-rated, visible and possibly most expensive LED set on the market but SO worth it! Yes there are other visibility improvers out there for a fraction of the price but they make you look like a lump of rainbow unicorn shit at night!When I ride at night I now have no fear of vehicles clipping me or not seeing me and as a driver I understand that cyclists all begin to look like each other with the one or two leds. But now everyone gives me such a wide berth and at junctions people will literally stop and let you out just to figure out why a Tron Light Bike just rolled past. I have had so many people stop me and ask where i got them as 'we seen you from a mile off'.Granted they should not be your only pair of lights as they are more for added visibility from every angle.
