CATEYE - Orb Rechargeable USB Bike Safety Light SL-LD160 F/R

Fit easily, with a tilt for frame as needed, and recharge with little usb chords, but hold up charge pretty well. Love m.

I wanted something that fit aero.bars and post. This is perfect.

rechargeable, small, very bright

To my mind and from my experience, these lights are all you need. Assuming that you don’t ride at night and are only concerned with being seen in traffic, that is. They don’t put out crazy lumens, but it’s more than enough to get cars to notice you— and that makes it easier on the batteries. Nevertheless, run-time seems to be it’s only drawback. On the setting with the least amount of draw, I would estimate that I can only get in about six hours of riding time without them petering out. And I ride a lot. Bear in mind that it can take about 2-3 hours for them to fully charge; fiddling around with USB cables which, on my Mac anyway, have to connect with another thunderbolt cable; unscrewing the housing, trying a few times before getting the teeny USB terminal orientation right, etc. A real pain. Honestly, I’d rather use the other Cateye version that uses coin batteries; identical otherwise. I have two pairs of those. CR 2032’s are cheap; time is not. Other than that, the unit’s bands stay firmly attached and are easy to mount. Extremely low-profile, too—even aero—and, even more importantly, the rear light doesn’t rub against the inner thigh when moving through the pedal stroke.

Not Bright...Can barely see it on the Sun

I have run these lights for about 6 weeks now. I ride up to 3 hours at a time. And I can tell you from experience the recharge life is around half for the red light and around 2/3rds for the front light, of the advertised length. So I recharge every day. Other than that they are very well made ie not plastic!! They have a unique and simple mounting system with what I hope is long life rubber bands. I use them for day time riding. They should not be considered for nighttime use other than secondary lights. These are pretty much perfect for my needs ie small lightweight and easy to operate. Minus one star for charging life.

This light is too small and not bright enough to use as a stand alone light for road cycling during the day.

Didn't charge and wouldn't turn on out of box. Was a replacement for one previously purchased that had fallen off my bicycle in transit. Will not buy again.
