TorchTwin LED Light Set, Red/White

For the price these are great little lights. They won't last a lifetime if our experience is anything to go by but as cheap and effective lights for everyday city use they do the job really well. We've tried a number of the alternative and slightly cheaper offerings on the market and come back to these as the most cost-effective means of lighting our city bikes.Criticisms - the batteries can be fiddly to get out, the cover can be tricky to remove, and our experience in the past has been that after a few years the switching circuits are the weak point, probably a result of them getting water in and being used very heavily. At the price point these are at I think the switch failure is fair wear and tear and wouldn't mark them down on that basis. That everything is quite hard to disassemble sometimes has plus points in that I don't think I've ever had one of these lights fall apart in everyday use.The rear light in particular is a very good brightness for road use, shows up nicely in traffic. The front light is 'fair' for brightness - I couldn't really use it for seeing my way by on most of my commute, and I don't think it's a 'stand out' light in the mass of car headlights (I use a Hope Vision One for that), but it works well as my backup light for when the Hope suddenly runs out of power and switches off!

Bought these for my bike to be seen at night when cycling around streets in London. They provide enough illumination in order to be well seen and have three modes - flashing, strobing and constant on. But please, please, if you're going to use them keep them constantly on - flashing is so annoying especially if I'm riding behind you.....Anyway, they work well and are cheap enough that I'm not too worried about them. However, it is pretty important to realise they're pretty cheap and the front would probably come off quite easily so I'd probably stick to roads/smoother surfaces if using these. They're super easy to remove so great for my short city rides. I'd probably invest in something a bit better for the front if there was limited street lighting or you want to actually illuminate the area ahead.

The lights themselves seem to work well enough but the front mounting bracket was not suitable for my bike, which has an oversize handlebar. I could not mount it on the narrow part of the handlebar as the release tab coincided with the gear shifter. This could probably be trimmed but I rode the bike with the light improperly mounted and it fell off, which was annoying! Also, the release tab on the rear light can interfere with other stuff on the seat post, such as a lock mounting bracket. So, overall, if you have a bike with a standard handlebar and have plenty of seatpost real estate or are prepared to trim the tabs, then these lights are good value.

i had a bit of high expectations. My fault. I feel that it is not worth the cost. You can get a much better pair of lights for the same amount. first, the product is quite bulky for the use. Secondly, the brackets provided to fit on the seat bar or handle bar is very flimsy. i am sure it is not going to stand for long.It has 3 light settings. Always on, blinking (all three LED's) and blinking (one LED at a time). LED's are bright and it will be seen from a distance. I am only disappointed with the build quality of the brackets provided with the light. If you have a slightly bigger saddle pole, then you can't use the bracket.I would say, look elsewhere for a similar product.

For the money these are great and there's no excuse really not to fit simple lights like this to all the bikes in your household should you go out after dark. The rear light is fine for regular use and comes with 2 brackets so you can attach it to the thinner seat stay tubes or the seat post. The front light is only suitable for being seen so only really useful around town. That said, it has excellent side visibility and is more than bright enough to be noticed. It's well worth running the front light with an existing main light for improved visibility. The brackets appear good quality too.

Didn't get as far as fixing them to the bicycle. Rear light was faulty (Missing battery strap + to -) Poor quality management. Requested a refund. From my first inspection, quality ok. Would have done the job apart from the rear light fault. Would I buy again, yes if there was no fault with either light.

Easy to use, come with their own batteries (AAA) and very straightforward. Went with these as they are easy to install and are detachable. They aren't the brightest lights out there but they are sufficient and for this price you can't go wrong. Used them when raining (twice and only rear light which you might argue is somewhat protected under the saddle), they've held up so far.They have a selection of 3 programs you can choose by pressing the 1 button present at the back.

I bought these back in Nov 2013, at a decent price. Batteries were included. They worked well for a while. They received light use as I didn't cycle very much at night. The red rear one gave up about a year ago, and it seemed that one of the battery contacts had rusted and fallen off. The front white light stopped working the other day, opening it I found one of the battery contacts had broken off, and was not even rusted.They were nice and bright while they worked but I won't be buying them again - the inner parts are obviously too fragile, even with light use (I never remove them from the bike, so they haven't been thrown around or badly handled).
