Best bike lights I've ever used
I bought these bike lights after starting riding with Deliveroo, I previously had some other rechargeable bike lights, but found they didn't last long enough despite being advertised to have long battery life. These new lights are much better, I'm yet to run out of battery even through multiple hours of use.The product comes with the large front light, normal back light with rubber fastener, two handle bar mounts (one sturdier centre-mount, and one smaller mount), MicroUSB Charging wires and various sticky-backed spacers for fitting the mounts to thinner handle bars.The common complaint in other reviews is that the mount is too large for their handle bars, I also had the same issue, but fortunately included in the box are two sets of spacers, one set for the centre-mount and one set for the smaller mount. I had to install BOTH of these sets of spacers just to attach the centre-mount. The handlebar mount is oversized, but without needing any additional kit I could sturdily attach the light, so I can't complain.The main light is SUPER bright, make sure you aim it down a little so you don't blind drivers. It has three lighting brightnesses, then once you select the desired brightness, holding the button in switches to a flashing mode. Alternatively, when the light is off, hold the power button and it immediately goes to the brightest flashing mode (beware though, this is super bright so could dazzle other road users).The back light fits around your seat post with a stretchy rubber fastener, it can then rotate around 90 degrees to be vertical or horizontal. It has various modes, fully on or multiple types of flashing.The battery life is super long. I love how the main light has a battery life indicator, and I've also not had the rear light run out either, even though typically with these bike light combo sets the rear light doesn't last anywhere near as long as the front light.I also like how the front light has two illuminating fields, one to illuminate the road directly infront of you (so you can see and avoid potholes etc), and the other to illuminate the general area. This means all of the reflective road signs and road users in the general area get lit up. My last light didn't have this, and it's a nice feature.Both the lights charge with ordinary MicroUSB cables.They are bright, sturdily attach to your bike, have a long battery life and aren't too expensive. I'd really recommend these!

Brilliant build quality and super bright!
When I received the package and opened it up, the contents were as follows:Contents1 * Front LED bike light1* Rear Bike light2 * Bracket (1 * flat bracket & 1 *360 degree bracket)6 * Bracket shims1 * USB cable1 * Instruction leafletThe first thing I noticed when I examined the front light was how premium it felt. This was no cheap light, it had a hard anodized aluminum body, with two rubber stoppers at the rear covering a micro usb charging port and the mode toggle. Then I turned it on, wow it was blindingly bright (on full power mode, equivalent to 2400 lumens and same output as the famous BLF torch), you could tell they used quality components (2 CREE T6 LEDs) in this torch.At the rear was a rubber button and a micro USB port hidden behind a rubber cap. The small button on the back controlled everything. Once powered on and pressed repeatedly it goes through the following light modes:Low beam -> Standard -> High beam -> Off.If you long press the rubber button, it will enter SOS mode but there was no tactical strobe.To mount it, you have to slide the plastic mount into the grooves on the mounts. It comes with 2 mounts: a center handle bar mount and a side handle bar mount. For the rear light it just a rubber elastic mount which is very easy to fit simply by stretching.Now onto the rear light. It wasn’t anywhere near as good as the front light and felt cheaper in comparison. It did have 3 light modes: 2 strobes and a steady mode.Well in conclusion I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. The build quality on the front torch was brilliant, composed of hard aluminum alloy it looked simply stunning. As for its light output, it was the brightest bicycle torch I have ever reviewed and is now among the top 3 brightest torches I own. The only downside was rear tail light wasn’t as good as the front light. For just under £19 this is one quality light set and I can highly recommend it.I’ve included various pictures. Thanks for taking the time to read my review.

Great light, but don’t expect it to last.
Nice light, not too far into the blue spectrum as it has a slight warm to the cool light so spot on as I have another light that is blue cool light and find it not as good despite it being brighter so pays not to go too far into the blue spectrum for a light.The light when attached to the handle bar during riding over steps and rocks will vibrate the light so much it rocks back and forth a bit so applying padding on the bottom back using one of the orange strips prevents it and after it so much better.The cheep USB cables they give you are well crap, not the correct type as these are not power micro cables, even the small one has such a big voltage drop your best not to use them at all as they are most likely just data micro cables but for the price what you expect they will work but you will charge quicker using a proper power cable.Not long about 4months it stopped working, fully charged just died, was working one moment then stopped.Took the back off and it is designed so one can change the batteries, as I suspect it was poorly designed for handling outdoor use, the PCB was not protected from the elements and was not able to handle the change in temperature and result one of the resisters and cap failed and possibly the IC, let to replace and if manage to repair it I will coat the PCB with protection from the elements.Would I buy another, yes despite it’s lack of PCB protection it is a good decent light, and one can allways add more protection to the PCB themselves, shame they didn’t do this as how many have failed due to this oversight.
