Bicycle lights - MTBIKER.shop

Visibility is essential for cyclist safety. Therefore, we recommend carefully choosing a sufficient light source according to its use. We offer front lights in white, rear lights in red, and also sets, where you can find both. You will find a wide range of accessories as well. There are various types of bicycle lights, each serving a specific purpose:

Front lights: Front lights are mounted on the handlebars and illuminate the road in front of the bike. They come in different light outputs and have multiple modes, such as steady beam, flashing or pulsing, which improve visibility.
Tail lights: Tail lights are usually attached to the seat post or rear rack of the bike. They typically have features such as flashing or strobe light to attract attention.
Helmet lights and headlamps: Helmet lights and headlamps are small, lightweight lights that attach to a cyclist's helmet. They provide an additional source of light and increase visibility.

How to choose the right light for your bike?

Here's a quick guide on how to buy bike lights that will suit your needs:

Consider the riding conditions: Are you primarily a cyclist who needs lights for visibility on well-lit streets, or do you enjoy riding your mountain bike at night on dark trails? This will help you determine the appropriate type, power, and brightness of the lights you require.
Research the types of lights available: There are generally two types of bike lights - front lights and tail lights. Front lights are typically stronger and provide illumination so you can see ahead, while tail lights are primarily for visibility to others on the road. Various options are available, including traditional incandescent lights or LED lights.
Check battery life and charging options: If you opt for rechargeable lights, consider battery life and charging time. Look for lights with long battery life, especially if you plan on longer rides. Also consider charging options, such as USB charging or replaceable batteries.
Mounting system: Make sure the lights you choose are equipped with a secure mounting system that is compatible with your bike. Common mounting options include handlebar mounts for headlights and seatpost mounts for tail lights. Some lights also have helmet mounts for added flexibility.
Read reviews and compare prices: Before buying, read tests and reviews from other cyclists to assess the reliability and performance of the lights you are considering. In addition, compare the prices of different brands.

If you are moving on roads, we recommend using the lights for daytime lighting as well. The power of the light and its duration are indicated in the product description. The lights can be powered by a replaceable battery or are rechargeable.
