    No deal. Most bikes don't have tails.

  • Thanks!

  • These work well, but the light isnt that bright. Ok for nighttime, but daytime riding they are almost useless

    Aliexpress sells them for the same price ($US1.94 and up)

    The blue is also $US1.94

    just search - USB Rechargeable LED Bike and sort on lowest price

    • You don't need lights during the day!

        anything that makes you more visible makes you safer.
        Plus (in Victoria at least) it's a legal requirement to have lights in conditions of poor visibility during the day.

        You don't need lights during the day!

        and you dont need high vis jersey, a helmet, gloves etc

        Its your body….

        In my case I will use every tool available to protect myself from possoble injury. Guess I have a low threshold for pain.

        Just sharing for those who might think the same.

          @richardjcami: but they get really shity when you ride your bike on the bus

          Funny I never see riders wearing high vis or fluro yellow jackets like they did 30years ago. Last guy I almost hit was wearing black on a foggy morning. And his flashy light was behind my A-pillar when I turned out. It's false confidence that riders rely on a single point of light to make them visible instead of their entire body and bike.

        • @Gusper: Totally agree, high vis, bright front lights and seeable backlights all in the daytime make for safer ride, never even had a near miss with a car, all accidents so far are of my own making, except one where unrestrained child with training wheels rode out in front and just stopped dead.

        Tell that to the inattentive driver that t-boned me years ago. Since then I use my lights no matter what time of day. The better chance of a car seeing you can be the difference between life and death.

          Is that how you ended up with a drumstick through your head, what were you doing, playing chicken on the road?

        • @Scab: my kind isn't welcome on the roads :(

      • Then why do the new cars now have daytime LED lights?

  • Perfect for my desk at work to warn everyone off, depending how busy / what mood I'm in.

    Don't get it. Not bright enough and poor battery life. Only 2 hours?!

  • +1

    I've bought about 8 similar-looking (red) lights from ebay & aliexpress.

    The first one I bought has been fantastic, bright enough as a tail light with at least 5 hours battery life on chase/flash. Sadly that vendor stopped selling them, and every subsequent purchase has been a dud, either DOA, turns off after 10 mintues, won't charge, one that wouldn't turn off then wouldn't charge.

    But the first has been so good I'll roll the dice once more

    i've had a few of these and i'm less than delighted. they are good in that they mount to any seat post size by the use of elastic bands , but either the power button broke or wouldn't charge eventually.

    went back to the lights that take 3xaaa or aa batteries got a nicad charger and some eneloops/ low discharge nicads.
    also use that charger for the headlights .

    if you have. a bike and ride at nights …. charger and rechargeables free you up to a wider selection of lights.

    there are many options which are technically,lights eg those lights that use cr2032 batteries but it's more about your safety than just being legally compliant.

    • I originally went with the "separate rechargeables" strategy but the extra weight of even 2 AA cells tended to break the cantilevered mount brackets of tail lights

    These are useless. The battery life is terrible, less than 2 hours. Also the battery degrades pretty fast.

    Cheap =/= bargain.

    Bargain: something good obtained at a good discount.

    Cheap nasty crap sold at the appropriate price for cheap nasty crap, is not a bargain.

  • I bought the proper non chinese knockoff version of this light for 40 bucks from the local bike shop

    Bright, lots of battery time, no cord needed for charging.
    It's great

  • +1

    I have one but I like this model better https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-Charger-LED-Bicycle-Ligh…

    Its more expensive but brighter.

  • I have a bunch of these, and for commuting they are great. Recharge over USB at work, and when you get home. For a longer ride maybe just take a second one.
