1.0 out of 5 stars decent taillight, terrible headlight, September 22, 2008

This review is from: Schwinn Xenon Bicycle Headlight and Seat Post Light Combo Set (Toy)

I got this set because i needed something right away and it was the only one i could get locally. The tailight isnt bad and is pretty visable, but the headlight is very dim. You wont be able to see much in front of you if you are traveling at night at any sort of decent speed. I almost hit a possum once (i live in a rural area). This light will also drain batteries quickly (making it even more dim), unlike most LED lights.

I would strongly suggest getting a LED light for a few more dollars (there are .5 watt LED lights on here).

UPDATE: I ended up getting 2 LED westinghouse flashlights for like 2 dollars from dollar general and using plastic ties to strap em on the bars (the kind of ties that look like police use for handcuffs..). Worked great for months without a battery change and im willing to bet they are as bright as some of the expensive dual lamp systems out there. The straps hold them steady, but i can adjust them up and down as needed (i keep one pointed lower on ground in front of me, and one ahead like a high beam). I still use the tailight that came with this package, cause it is pretty good. So for 5 bucks, i got awesome headlights.

3.0 out of 5 stars Problem with installation, September 30, 2009

I don't know why everyone thought the headlight is so dim. I think it's pretty good. So is the rear light, which has four different on/flashing modes. When my kids use these, they are pretty visible, which is what I want at dusk, even though they are on sidewalks. We've also used them at night and they are bright.

My only problem with these is the installation. My son has a 20 inch bike and my daughter has a 12 inch bike. The front and rear lights don't mount securely because the diameter of the mounts is larger than the diameter of the frames. I emailed Schwinn to ask for some more rubber inserts (they came with one for each mount) to make them fit and they told me to call up Pacific Cycle. The lady there told me Pacific Cycle bought up the company that made the lights so they have no replacement parts whatsoever. So, you will get no help from the company if you need any parts or if this doesn't fit your bike. I did a workaround by inserting some felt pieces I found around the house but I will have to look for something rubber, because felt has no grip.

Oh, and the circumference of the children's bike frames is 2 3/4".

3.0 out of 5 stars poor headlight, great tail light, January 10, 2009

The headlight is just terrible. You're wasting your money on that aspect. You cannot see the road at all, and it eats lots of batteries. I'm throwing mine away, after trying it for months. FAR better is to get a planetbike LED headlight - once you try the 1 watt "Blaze" light, you'd throw away your schwinn headlight as I am. BUT - this tail light is REALLY GREAT - especially like the 4 different LED modes, which other lights do not offer, and GREAT visibility fron all angles. A real shame that the tail light is not sold separately. At this price, just not worth the $ for a great tail light alone (you'll throw away the front light).


ADDENDUM 2/22/09
I now have the "Planet Bike Blinky "3" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light" as the tail light for everyone in my family - it is probably 10 times brighter than this schwinn tail light, can stay lit solid or blink, and comes with mounts that allow you to put it either on the seat post, or on the seat stay (as I have). Absolutely fantastic tail light - easily visible from 0.3 miles away. I'd definitely recommend that instead of this product.
