As always the RRP is a joke, but these are still £10+ everywhere else at the moment.
Reasonable reviews, it's seems to be only people that have bought them for the wrong reason who leave negative comments. THEY ARE SECONDARY LIGHTS (ie lights you leave on all the time to flash etc). They will not light up a country lane.
Perfect for commuting in towns, and weigh virtually nothing.

They look reasonable but use watch batteries, yuck. I guess you could argue that USB rechargeable lights will eventually need replacing entirely when the battery dies, but I'd rather that than have to carry spare batteries.
Still, it's a good price for what it is I guess.

The USB lights tend to be primary lighting. These are great for just fitting and forgetting. As the light output is at a sensible level (rather than blinding) the batteries last ages!

Good to keep in your rucky as an emergency, if your main lights die. I have similar versions, and they have proved useful at times.

For those who commute when its dark or during winter with a rucksack I cannot recommend this enough for a rear light.
There is NO other red light like it, mine has been Gorilla taped to two commuting rucksacks which have worn out whilst the light has carried on going. It's like a star has just exploded on your back, on the rucksack it shines down onto you, the back of the bike and the road, vehicles give you a much wider berth when this is on your back.
You need a couple of 18650's and a charger but it's well worth it.

I hope no one would try to aim those at eye level. Probably very dazzling and unsafe. I frequently get hit by people with those super powerful cheap lights from China, but they don't realise it's supposed to aim at the road infront and not the horizon, so I end up being completely blinded for 5 seconds.

These are pretty good for what they are. I've had mine a couple of years and just leave them on my commuter bike when it's left at the station. Batteries need replacing now but have lasted well.
