Product Description

The Nite Ize SpokeLit Safety Bicycle Light is the perfect complement to front and rear bicycle lights because it produces excellent lateral visibility that front and rear bike lights are unable to provide. The spoke bicycle lights install easily on most spoke wheels with the common 3 cross spoke pattern. Further, the L.E.D. light can be turned on in two modes: steady glow and flashing. Recommended uses include adult commuters, avid road cyclists, parents with children in a bike seat or bike trailer, and youth cyclists riding around their neighborhood. The L.E.D. spoke lights must be activated by pressing their buttons for 10 seconds or until fast flashing is observed. Instructions are included that detail how to replace batteries.

Great product, silly me i had thrown away all the packaging which also included the trial mode instructions, thanks everyone for pointing it out, if i had only read the stuff earlier, i just came in from a short bike ride to wholefoods, the light kept turning off after 20 seconds of so, i figured given that the event repeated in exact time intervals i figured it had to do with the trial mode, so with a one button mechanism, the only choice was to hold the button down until magic happened, YAY! it blinked strangely to tell me it was done after holding down the button for a few seconds. And now i am zipping around my neighborhood with cool blue spoke lights.

I bought this after a fellow bike commuter passed me one dark night and I saw how visible it made her bike -- Headlights are highly visible from the front, blinky red lights are highly visible from the back, and these spoke lights cover the "in-between" when a car is beside you can can't easily see your headlights or tail lights.

The light is reasonably bright, even lighting up the road around the wheel with a bit of a green glow.

The switch is fairly hard to turn on/off - especially on cooler days when temps get blow the mid-40's - young children or those with low hand strength may have problems turning it on and off. If it's like the Nite Ize dog collar lights that I have, I expect it to get easier over time.

Mounting it to bike was easy, I just slid it onto my wheel with spokes in the spoke slots on the unit and it's stayed securely mounted after a couple hundred miles of bike commuting. When I was temporarily commuting on a different bike with lightweight low spoke-count wheels, I found that the spokes were too far apart for the spoke slots on this light, so I just zip tied it to my spokes using the holes in the light and it worked fine.

I haven't replaced the batteries yet, I estimate I've used it around 10 hours so far and the batteries seem to be holding up ok.

I chose the green light since I figured that would stand out more against car taillights and turn-signals than the red or amber colors and I thought the blue might be frowned on by local law enforcement.

I've been using two of these for a few weeks. It does what it says it does, and I do feel safer when biking in the dark with this. But the batteries go pretty quickly. I use it about an hour each day and the batteries last maybe a week before getting too dim. It takes two CR2016 batteries and I have ordered quite a few; they aren't expensive. But it might be better to get CR2032 batteries instead. They're twice the thickness so they should fit, and provide 220 mAh whereas two CR2016s provide 180, so in theory they should last longer.

And of course, they're either cool or geeky, depending on your point of view.

Edit - I found some CR2032 batteries at a local PC Fair and can confirm that they fit and work. The numbers suggest that they will last at least as long as two CR2016 batteries, I'll re-edit if that is not the case.
