Team Obsidian Bicycle Light Set Review

I've tried and reviewed several bike lights already and because hubby goes biking twice a week, I like trying out new ones to see and compare new ones to the current bike lights he uses. He has 2 front bike lights, 1 is a 5-LED bike light and the secondary one a 1-LED bike light, and I looked forward to trying the Team Obsidian Bike light set to see how it would compare to his secondary bike light.

The Team Obsidian's Bicycle Light Set arrived in a blue flip top box. The set includes the front bike light, a rear red bike light and 2 bike mounts, 1 for each light.

The Team Obsidian's front bike light works on 3xAAA batteries, which aren't included in the set. The batteries can be installed by removing the screw cover on the bottom of the light.

The front bike light has a single CREE LED light which emits up to 200 lumens and has 3 different light modes. The light modes can be changed by pressing the button located at the bottom of the light. Aside from that, the light can be adjusted by rotating the head of the bike light. The light can be concentrated to a single dot or widened to a larger diameter, lighting up a bigger surface area.

The bike mount included is easy to install on the bike. The bike light can be removed from the bike mount and has a wrist strap included. Because the bike light can be removed from the mount, I like that I can use it as a flashlight at home too. :)

The rear red light has 7 different light modes. This works on 2xAAA batteries which is not included in the box. The batteries can be installed by removing the red cover of the bike light.

The rear bike light has 5 lights and has a bike mount attached to it. The light modes can be changed by pressing the yellow button located on the back of the bike light. The rear bike light isn't as bright as my hubby's current rear bike light but I like that it has 7 light modes.

You can watch my video below to see how these lights work:

The Team Obsidian's Bicycle Light Set is great to use as a secondary bike light and I like that I can also use it as a flashlight at home. The front bike light is bright and I like the different light options of each light. I like that these work as they should.

Cycle Torch USB Rechargeable 500 Lumens Bike Light Review

Every time I receive something related to biking, hubby would be excited to try it. I do have my own bike but he is the one who commutes daily to and from work using his bike. He's also the one who has a biking session every Wednesday with his biking buddies after work so it would be dark already once they finish their bike route.

When I received the Cycle Torch USB Rechargeable Bike Light, I showed it to hubby and although he already has a bigger, rechargeable bike light, his smaller bike light (he has 2 on his bike) uses batteries. So, he was excited that this bike light, and the tail light included, were rechargeable.

The Cycle Torch USB Rechargeable Bike Light came in a nice box. Inside were the following:
- 1 x 500 Lumens Rechargeable Bike Light
- 1 x rechargeable tail light
- 1 x rubber strip
- 2 x USB charging cables

The Cycle Torch USB Rechargeable Bike Light has a single button to turn the light on/off as well as to cycle through the light modes. The button has a blue color when there is enough battery life for the bike light to function and turns red when the battery is getting low. When charging, this is also colored red during active charging.

The Cycle Torch's light is different than hubby's current secondary bike light because instead of having a light which is concentrated on a spot, the Cycle Torch has a wide, flat light which illuminates more ground. There are 4 light options here: high, medium, low and strobing. Each mode can be accessed by pressing the button simultaneously. To turn the bike light on/off, the button should be pressed for about 2 seconds.

The Cycle Torch can be charged by plugging the micro-USB cable included in the port under the bike light. Charging time takes around 8 hours and active charging shows a red-colored button.

The tail light is also rechargeable, which is cool. The USB port can be found by twisting the light off the base. Charging time was about an hour. The tail light has 3 light modes: steady, flashing and a double flashing mode.

The Cycle Torch 500 Lumens Bike Light is unique because I can easily check the battery life of the bike light by pressing and holding the single button. 1 flash is equivalent to a 10% battery life. I like this option because hubby is aware of how much battery life is left on the bike light so that this wouldn't drain out while he's out biking.

This is a nice set of bike light and tail light and for its price, this is a great deal.

SecurityIng 3200 Lumens Bike Light With Rechargeable Battery Pack Review + #Giveaway 7/6 US

Before, when the weather was cooler, hubby and I ride our bikes early in the morning and finish around mid-morning. Now, having a bike light is important specially now that hubby and I go biking in the afternoon when it's cooler already. With the weather becoming warmer, we prefer to go biking late in the afternoon during the weekend instead of in the morning so that it wouldn't be so warm. Because we go late in the afternoon, we would finish our bike route when it's about to start to get dark already so a bright bike headlight is important to keep us visible and safe.

When I received the SecurityIng 3200 Lumens Bike Light, I immediately asked hubby to install it in my bike.

The SecurityIng Outdoor LED Bicycle Light arrived in a box which is a bit heavy.

The box contained the following:
- 1 x SecurityIng Headlamp
- 1 x AC Adapter
- 1 x Rechargeable Battery Pack
- 2 x Fixing Ring

The SecurityIng 3200 Lumens Bike Light comes with 7 Cree XM-L T6 LED bulbs. The maximum brightness for these bulbs is 3200 Lumens. The SecurityIng bike light is made out of an aluminum alloy casing, aluminum alloy reflector and a coated glass lens. It measures 55 mm in diameter and 52mm in height.

The lifespan of these bulbs are up to 50,000 hours which is nice.

There are 3 light modes available for the SecurityIng bike light:

- Strong which has a 2.1A / 3200 Lumen output.
- Middle which has a 1.3A / 1500 Lumen output.
- Strobe which is a flashing light setting.

The light modes can be switched by pushing the single button on the bike light. The single button turns green once the light is connected to the battery pack and turns off once it's disconnected from the battery pack or once the battery pack's power has been used up already.

The light is connected t the battery pack by connecting the cable of the bike light to the battery pack.

The battery pack measures 72 x 35 x 84mm (LxWxD) and weighs 375 grams. It has 8 x 18650 Li-On Rechargeable batteries and has a capacity of 8000 mAh. It has a black pouch bag with a velcro snap on so that I can easily remove and place it in my bike. The rechargeable battery pack has a charger included.

There are 2 fixing rings included but hubby only needed to place on my bike to hold the bike light. The fixing ring has thick and stretchy and looks durable. It holds the SecurityIng bike light in place.

The SecurityIng bike light helps a lot when it gets dark already. The brightest setting helps me see farther down the road as well as keep me visible to cars. I like how easy it is to use and that it has different light settings available.

The green-lit power button makes it visible when it gets darker and I also like that it shows me that the battery pack still has charge left in it. Hubby's bike light only has 3 bulbs so according to him, and from what I saw, the SecurityIng 3200 Lumens bike light is much brighter.

I also love how easy this is to install in my bike and that it stays in place. The SecurityIng bike light lasts for the duration of our biking session which is about 2 hours. It still has charge left on it after we ride our bikes so that's nice as well.

I also like that I can use this for a variety of ways like using it as a flashlight for our home. The bike light can be easily installed and removed from my bike so this is handy for other outdoor use as well like camping.

This is a very nice and effective bright light perfect to keep me visible at night and to light up my way so that I can see farther when it gets dark. It's also versatile since it can be used for other purposes as well.

I noticed that there is no manual included but, since hubby already has his own bike light, he installed this with no problems by wrapping the stretchy fixing ring around the handlebar of my bike and hooking each side of the ring to the hooks in the SecurityIng bike light.

BOG Ultrabright LED Front And Rear Bike Lights Review

If you've been a follower of my blog for quite some time now, you might've read that hubby rides his bike when he goes to work because his work office is just 5 minutes away from our home. There's no problem with him riding his bike in the morning because he's visible. When he rides his bike to go home, that's where the problem is because it's almost dark. There were 2 instances when he was crossing an intersection and a right turning car didn't see him. Both hit the back wheel of his bike a bit but good thing they didn't hit his wheel hard.

I don't like the fact that even with his front and rear bike lights, there are some who's not careful enough when turning right in an intersection.

When I received the BOG Ultrabright LED light, I looked forward to try it to see if both the lights are bright enough for his bike.

The BOG Lights arrived in a yellow box. The contents inside the box were:

- 1 x 5-LED Head/front bike light
- 1 x bracket for the head/front bile light
- 1 x 5-LED Back/rear red bike light
- 1 x bracket for the back/rear bike light

The head/front bike light needed 3xAAA batteries to work while the back/rear bike light needed 2xAAA batteries to work. Batteries weren't included in the box.

What's included are 4 adhesive reflective strips which can be placed anywhere on the bike.

The 5-LED Headlight has 3 functions and which can be turned on/off and changed by pressing the grey button on top of the light. The bracket included can be installed on the bike easily. The headlight can be mounted on the bracket by sliding it on or off. Hubby brings the BOG headlight home by sliding it off the bracket to prevent it from being stolen.

The 5-LED red rear light has 7 functions which can be turned on/off or changed by pressing the button at the back of the light. Similar to the headlight, the bracket included is easily installed on the bike and the light can also be mounted on the bracket by sliding the light on or off the bracket.

The 5-LED headlight is very bright and increased hubby's visibility. The 5-LED red rear light is also bright which increases his visibility at the back. Hubby likes how easy to install the brackets are and I like how I have a peace of mind knowing that he'll be safer using the BOG lights.
