Brightz GoBrightz LED Bike Frame Light - Glowing Bike Underglow Light Bar for Night Riding - 4 Modes Flashing or Steady Glow - Cool Bicycle Lights for Kids, Teens & Adults - Be Cool, Be Safe, Be Seen

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love the color red and at night time it’s the easiest to see without affecting your night vision. also the strobe option or stationary is pretty unique as well.Value for money:Cost wise, it was less expensive to purchase on here than it was in store. Yeah there was shipping and taxes but at my local stores, it still cost about $5.00 more per one light.Ease of installation:So for my bike in particular, the rubber ties did not fit. However, I found all weather resistant zip-ties did just the trick, if not better because once installed and covered with high quality clear tape, these babies were 100% waterproof! Color:I picked red because it’s bright, easy to see, and doesn’t affect your night vision.Functionality:There’s slow flash, stationary, and strobe modes. The stationary is good for riding at night in dark areas whereby strobes are great for areas where there’s street lights. Once you figure out your riding route, you’ll know the setting that you need.

These lights are marketed to a younger audience with the prospects of adding that dope early 2000's custom import scene underglow lighting to their bicycle, increasing their visibility, safety, and aesthetic appeal. However, even if you're a jaded adult cyclist, there's more than meets the eye and there may be something in it for you.If you have a cargo rack on your bicycle, this is the perfect taillight. Mounts easily and securely to the rear with two zip ties, and lasts long enough for multiple night rides. Stuff two AAA's in a Ziploc bag, put it in your pannier bag, and enjoy the piece of mind that you can quickly swap them out without tools should the light start to die out on you.Lighting options include solid light and three flashing modes of increasing frequency. The LEDs shine bright, and in a horizontal position facing directly behind, is nearly impossible to miss in the dark.I've had a handful of these lights since middle school, and the first few did succumb to corrosion after lots of use and sitting exposed to the winter elements. However, the two I have now (the oldest being a few years old) still work fine despite exposure to the elements. I highly recommend installing with the battery cover facing down so as to drain any water that enters. This makes replacing batteries a little more cumbersome, but it's still very easy and quick to do on the side of the road, and the batteries last surprisingly long for only two AAAs so unless you do consistent riding in dark/inclement conditions, you shouldn't have to replace them too often. I've had the same batteries in mine for a few months, and they still shine bright after some hours of night riding.Even if I had to replace the whole unit every year, it would be well worth the ~$12 for the utility, ease of installation and use, cheap price, reliability, battery life, and visibility. Brightz is making a mistake by not marketing their red bar light to commuters and bikepackers considering how perfectly this fits on a rack.

Looks great at night on my bike!!

Pro:Bright for the priceSimple modes of operationNice switchConBetter suited to accent lightingNot really waterproofDifficult to install batteries.I bought the red version to use as a taillight on my bicycle. I have to admit, it is very bright, has one solid mode and three flashing modes. I hate lights that force you to scroll through 10 different modes to shut it off, so only 4 is a welcome change. The on/off switch has a nice rubber cover, which would make it seem water resistant, but the battery cover is a simple slide that doesn't look like it seals well.The battery cover is hard to slide open and shut because it seems to be poorly molded. I have to recharge my batteries every two weeks, using it for 30 minutes a day. The batteries require a tool like a flathead screwdriver to remove from the compartment.Installation would be simple as an accent light, just strap on with the provided zip ties. But, I wanted to mount it facing directly rearward, and my bike had very few perfectly vertical or horizontal tubes. Any way I tried to mount it, it would have been at an upward or downward angle, thus not as bright to cars. I finally ended up using two additional zip ties to mount it horizontally to my pannier rack.Overall, a nice light for $10, but since it isn't sold by Amazon, I had to pay $15 (shipped) for one, and I am unsure if it is worth that.

Cool item I have bought 3 for my bike. Looks great at night and adds another level of safety.
