Very bright and easy to put on the bike. You have to read the instructions to get the front light to work.

Alright I guess
I like this combo but it definitely could have better battery life. I am a slow rider, but i do ride a lot, and I need my lights to keep going as long as I do. These, well, don't. The ones I replace with these still go longer.

Awesome bike lights

I reluctantly bought these when I was on a trip and realized I didn't pack my lights. But safety first, right? Well, turns out I love them way more than my old lights. These are so bright. Charge super fast. and feel super secure on my bike.

Great Value. Very Bright. Easy to Setup.

Can't beat the price for this. Both lights are very bright and are very simple to setup and use.

Good visibility, but first time use hiccup

Got this to increase my visibility biking on city streets during the day. The taillight is great and intuitive to use. The front light comes in the locked position. You have to hold the button down for 7 seconds before the light will turn on. Wish they had made that clearer in the instruction manual. Both are simple to put on/take off my bike.

Solid light, fair battery life.

Nice light but battery life is fair. Lucky to get two good rides, 2.5 to 3 hrs. out of a charge. You can decrease brightness to increase battery life but for a $50 light, I'd like to see better. I attached the red tail light to the back of my helmet. I like that.

Great lights

This set is exactly what I needed. I like the straps that allow to take them on/off easily. The different light settings are nice and both lights are very bright.

Buy if you want a dead light (twice now)

I now have had two of these rubbish headlights and they both stopped working within one season of usage. They act like they are charging but do not. Looking at the reviews I am surprised this product is for sale still.

Great product

I was honestly impressed with how bright the headlight is and the break as well. I like the fact that it has 7 settings of brightness which is very helpful for those times when you just need a little more light.

Flexible installation, very bright

Headlight and tail light were easy to install on a somewhat narrow rear rack and handlebar. Very high visibility and good battery life.
