For the price it’s a no brainer – detachable mount very useful
Safety wise, for children bike lights are a must. If I had my way I’d send my kids out with Tron outfits on – just too many idiots playing with their mobile phones on the roads.Firstly loved the price – with the lightning deal I picked this set up for 6.10 plus tax – that is soundly in the “worth a chance,….what do you have to lose?” territory.So even though I bought this some time ago, I only yesterday mounted it on my child’s bike, along with a Vont Pyro USB rechargeable light I had just bought that I mounted for my other child’s bike. They’re both sub 10 years old and really traveling far on bike so getting lights on bikes is the no brainer necessary thing to do. Part of my commentary comes from a comparison between this and the vont pyro.Mounting SystemThe biggest item for me is the mounting system. The BV bike set has mounts that can be fixed in place and the lights can be clipped on or off pretty simply. It’s true that the front light takes a little fidding to remove the light from the mount, but once you do so, it’s a defacto torch (RoW English name for flashlight). My youngsters would have a little trouble mounting / demounting – there’s a reason I gave this to the eldest. So it’s very capable – leave the mounts in place, and if it’s really dark you have a torch to illuminate your path up the driveway. The mounts are sufficient for my needs – sure they’re plastic and seem ok but if I were a competitive mountain biker, you’ll need something more rugged mount wise.By comparison the Pyro lights have rubber band like connectors that wrap around your handlebar and seatpost. MUCH more difficult to put on and off and here’s the kicker – you need to do this often because there is no separate mount – the pyro lights are effectively LED lights with a clip at the back and the rubber band goes under that clip. Not at all child friendly but some nice bright lights once on and USB recharegeable.BatteriesBack to the BV lights – they’re not rechargeable – in the front you have a pack of 4x AAA (aka “triple A”) batteries. In the back you have 2x AAA. You could argue that I could use rechargeable AAA batteries with the lights, and I would if it were for me, but my children LOSE EVERYTHING – rechargeable batteries are not cheap. So the Pyro wins out there.Light IntensityCompared with the Pyro the FRONT LIGHT of the BV is easily brighter. The pyro is good enough but seriously the BV is enough to burn your retina out (“It burns! It burns!”) – again reinforcing its use as a torch when you get to your destination.Flip to the rear light though and the Pyro is slightly, only slightly brighter than the BV but the pyro is also I think wider with 3 separate lenses making it more visible. Not much in it though.Overall value: At the price I paid ( $6.10 plus tax) I think it’s a great deal. The front torch dual use is of real value and the much easier ability to mount / unmount really helps – you put your mounts on (you’ll need a Philips screwdriver to tighten it up) and that’s it – leave the mounts in place. Can’t comment on the battery life. Can say that even if it’s 20 hours, I don’t care – I’ll put in new batteries and the kiddos can be on their way.hthDingo

Excellent light – packaging was difficult, use scissors
The Chromium version with rechargeable front and rear lights was a perfect replacement to my decade old BV AAA battery powered lights. These new lights are extremely bright and I like that the mounting is very easy, if you have existing silicon/rubber inserts. I have a simple Giant hybrid (city) bike and that’s where these are installed. I used a thicker silicon insert from the original installation so that the front light would mount tight enough to not move or fall while riding and to not be annoying when taking the light on and off the front mount. My handlebar thickness is thin, too thin for the silicon wrap to work (the extra flap just blocks the mount, it’s a bad design for thin handlebars). But the screw mount is also bad because the multiple silicon inserts didn’t work either (believe me, I used all of them, and it was still lose after tightening the screw as far as it could possibly go). Since I had a thicker silicon insert from my previous installation, I was able to use that and all was well. The front mount isn’t going anywhere now and I can very easily remove the front light from the mount. The rear light mount is the silicon wrap or the clip (the clip just goes on the flat kit under your saddle, kit sold separately of course). I got lucky here because my down tube on the rear part of the bike frame is thick enough to easily use the silicon wrap mounting, worked perfectly. My flat kit wasn’t BV, but it had the same strap for the clip, but it was just angled downward, so I didn’t use the the clip. Extremely pleased with the upgrade overall, these lights are extremely bright compared to the AAA battery powered ones that they replaced. Be careful, these new lights will blind you, no joke, they are very bright. Cannot comment on how long the rechargeable built in batteries will last (in terms of charge cycles before they completely fail), but I know they will provide hours of ride time at the lower brightness levels. If you want rechargeable lights, and especially if you are replacing very old BV lights, definitely choose these, very nice upgrade from the originals.

Survived a car hitting me
The clasp broke but it still functions as a fairly powerful rechargeable flashlight so it’s fine with me lol.

Very bright (both) lights, really easy to fit + these come with quality fixings whereas many are very flimsy.

Excelente calidad y precio. Lo único es que utiliza baterías. 4 la lámpara y 2 la luz trasera. Yo tenía baterías recargables y son las que utilizo.La lámpara ilumina bastante bien cuando salgo a las carretera y no hay luces y la luz fija se ve muy bien.
