LED lights are the biggest innovation in bike lights in the past decade. One of the qualities of LED lights is the long life of the diode, or bulb, itself. Unlike traditional light bulbs, the diode does not decay when switched on and off. This allows for a "strobe" effect to be used which dramatically increases battery life and visibility. LED lights set on strobe mode can experience 4-5 times the battery life of a light set on steady beam. BicycleTires carries a vast array of bike lights to suit the needs of all riders.
Most LED Lights include at least one blinking or strobe mode. Planet Bike and Cat Eye are two popular manufacturers specializing in an array of lightweight bike lights popular with commuters and recreational riders. Dinotte, Light & Motion and NightPro produce heavy-duty lights suitable for the most tenacious commuters and endurance MTB riders.
Strobe bike lights are made front and rear specific. A white light is typically used in front, a red light in back. Planet Bike Beamer 1 LED and BRT-3 Set is a popular light set that includes a front and back light. Both lights have a strobe function and are excellent for a recreational rider, a racer who needs lightweight lights to carry while training, or anyone looking up to brighten their evening commute. |
