KIT-R1 Rear Bike Lights USB-C Rechargeable LED Back Taillight 18hr Max Ultra Long Run-time Cycling Safety Flashers Blinkers 4 Light Modes (2 PACK)

Unlike my previous, almost identical, rear lights - these recharge by USB C cables, not micro USB. They have the same choice of flash patterns, and attach to the bike / trailer by rubber straps (which seems common nowadays, though I'm not keen on that method as the straps seem to perish and fail within a few months). Like my previous set, these lights can be mounted horizontally or vertically; and the strap attachment allows the angle to be adjusted (very necessary when using on my trailer). They click into position, and the "click" seems much firmer than on my previous lights, so I'm hopeful that it will actually hold the light in place at the correct angle rather than flopping downwards when going over bumpy ground! [Update - it does!] The lights arrived almost fully charged. It's too soon to say how well the batteries will last, but my previous cheap lights were still going fine after many months of recharging, and frequent use during the winter months. These lights arrived in a well padded presentation box inside an Amazon envelope, which gave good protection in transit (a cheaper set arrived unpadded in just small ziplock bags in the Amazon envelope. No wonder neither worked when they were delivered!) My only complaint about these lights is the rubber strap attachment. I have severe arthritis in my hands. There is a little lever to press to release the lights from the fitting to charge them, and unfortunately, this lever is so stiff (unlike my previous ones) that I strugged to release the lights (but then again, they're consequently held firmly and don't fall off mid ride, which happened to one of my old ones). But then, it's always possible to remove the whole thing for charging. UPDATE I've been using these lights a lot this winter, not just for night rides, but in foggy / wet daytime conditions too. They recharge quickly and last for a few rides (I'm mostly out for between 60 and 90 minutes per ride). My only complaint there is that, like most of these cheap rechargeable lights, there is no indication of how much charge is left; I worry that they'll fail mid-ride, so I probably charge them much more frequently than strictly necessary ... They're easy to swap between mounting on my bike frame, or attaching to my trailer when I'm towing it. They're definitely bright, and on the double-flash mode give me confidence that traffic coming up behind me can spot me easily! So far, so good, and I can recommend these as good value, effective rear lights.

The KIT-R1 Rear Bike Light is bright, compact, and well-built. They have USB-C charging and the battery easily lasts up to 18 hours as advertised. The mounting bracket feels secure, and the light modes provide good visibility both day and night. Solid performance and dependable run-time. cant fault them

I'm a powered wheelchair user and I'm often our when it's dark. I use these lights on the rear of my wheelchair (bought 2 sets) and use them as side lights. Very bright and easy to use, recharge quickly, usually 1hr approx. Long battery life, I've have a battery life of 15hrs roughly and at time of reviewing I've used them everyday since July 2024. Attached securely to my wheelchair with the supplied rubber straps. Definitely waterproof, I can 100% attest to that. I've been let down by multiple different rechargeable LED light previously but I definitely recommend these lights.

Excellent product. Easy to fit and works well.

I added this USB-C rechargeable rear bike light to my kit for evening commutes and it’s been flawless. The beam is wide and punchy—visible from blocks away—and the multiple flash modes give me flexibility depending on traffic. Battery life easily covers long rides, and the USB-C port means quick top-ups with my standard gear. It mounts securely, no rattles, and handles rain like a champ. For safety and simplicity, it’s a keeper.

I like the lights

Very bright day and night. Good battery life, You get 2 lights, with 2 charging cables. Good quality for the price. Red colour only, with 4 different flashing settings

Good rear light

A dandy product and a great deal. These 3” lights, two to a package, are designed to be placed wherever they’ll be most effective. They have a durable elastic strap that can fit on a bike’s post, forks, or rack; attached through your helmet vents; or even fixed to your dog’s collar! They can be mounted vertically or horizontally, and can be unmounted from the bands. The lights are bright enough to be seen in daylight as well as dark, with 4 settings: steady, flashing (2 modes), and running. With two in the package, I was able to put one on each bike fork. I have a light on the rear rack, but I was frustrated with it because it required pricey little CR2032 batteries that wore out every time I forgot to turn it off. These lights are USB-C rechargeable (a 12-inch cord is part of the package), with a warning lamp about 10 minutes before empty. Fully charged, battery life clocked a 6-hour run time for the steady on mode. They recharge from fully spent in about an hour. I found the USB fit to be a bit tight, but a flashing light during recharge lets you know it’s seated properly and drawing a charge. Night Provision is US-based, specializes in a variety of lighting and cycling gear, and warrants this product for 2 years. All-in-all, it’s a lot of value for the price.

Waste product

I bike a lot a night and have tried several different rechargeable lights and this is the best I've found so far for the rear light. The rubber fastener is perfect. Much better quality than others on the market. Having two is ideal because there is always one fully charged. Battery life matches the specs. Only complaint is the USB-c port has too much plastic on the edges. The cable included fits but other cables i have couldn't fit all the way in to charge. I filed the plastic on the edge of the port a bit and problem solved. Best value for the money in my opinion.
