The 3-LED taillight is good. With blink and steady modes it gets the job done.

The headlight is not an LED, and is rather dim even with fresh batteries. As other reviewers have said, the battery life is poor. Riding in near darkness is the only time you will even see the light emitted by the headlight, and if that's the case it obviously isn't emitting enough light to help you stay safe.

Next time, I'm going to spend the extra $5 and get an LED headlight.

Great back light. In the front the batteries die too quickly. Worth the money but you may do better to spend a little more. You will save it in the long run on batteries--they are so expensive!

I guess it can do the job but you must be in very dark (No street lights) for you to feel it is providing the light you need when riding very slow. But if you just need a light for one of those once a year night rides then I guess it would work. Not good for night commutes, spend the big bucks!!!!
