Customers appreciate the bicycle light's brightness. They say the rear light functions are great and the LED lights are enough to see by. The Xenon bulb paired with the blinking LED lights comes in quite handy, as the high and low beams work really well. The batteries last around an hour on the brightest setting with rechargeables. Overall, customers are satisfied with the product's brightness and performance.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2007Woe, thine gift of fire-less light! I am not one to fear the elements, but this "bi cycle light" has affected my spirit. How it works, I do not know. But it must be through mysticism and not fire, for it is not hot and nor does it flicker. Either it was formed through enchamberment of bright holy faeries or through sheer magics alone.
It came to me through Amazonia, and I expect that such people of the dark jungles would find strange new manners to produce light. I have seen flash powders for making instant fires, and glass crystals that can change the color of fire and sunlight. But never have I seen light from nothingness. Amazonia must have powerful enchanters indeed.
Moreso, this includes an enchanted reflector. It appears to be meant to be secured to some sort of pole, like a staff. I have secured it to my walking staff under the assumption that it protects me from evil lights, and reflects them as a harmless red glow. It's a fine idea to package both a light producer and a light consumer (shield), but nowhere is it written the form of light produced. I do hope that the enchantment is not soul-sucking and am currently testing it on a virgin's skin.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2006For the price, this light is hard to beat. Over the years, I have used approximately twenty different bicycle lights by brands such as Cateye, Cygolite and Planet Bike. While some of these were significantly better than the Bell, they were also three to ten times as expensive. If you don't mind the large mass of four AA batteries on your handlebars and have under twenty dollars to spend, the Bell Night Trail bicycle light is the way to go.
The real downside to having the batteries in the enclosure is the hazard created when the housing becomes dislodged during an impact. While this has not happened with the Bell light, it did occur with a Planet Bike light while riding through traffic in NYC. The distraction was extremely dangerous. Losing half of the batteries was not fun either.
Fortunately, the Bell light has a sturdy enclosure where the top half slides backwards to open. This makes it almost impervious to front and vertical impacts. However, the internal latches never quite give you a clear indication that it is closed. Rather, you must squeeze the top downward and push forward simultaneously until you can't move it further.
Much like the headlight, the taillight compares well to more expensive lights. Similar to competing products, it has various blinking modes as a well as an always-on setting. Due to the design of the lens, light escapes from the sides and top of the light. Such side lighting is crucial for riding in urban areas.
The build quality is good but not on par with the $100+ lighting systems. But again, the selling point of this light is overall value. Some of the nicer features include a bright Xenon bulb paired with miserly LED lights that can blink for hours. Unlike some of the MR11-based bulbs (parabolic track lighting bulbs), the lens assembly has two ports on the right and left sides. This spreads light perpendicularly to the path of travel, which is a nice feature when in traffic. These features combined with a very modest price make this light an excellent choice for the budget conscious.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2009I purchased this light because I wanted something really bright. The xeon bulb sounded good. I live in a very rural area, i.e. we have no street lights, all rough dirt roads. This light has 4 modes. Bright xeon, dim xeon, constant LED and blinking LED. Even on my pitch black dirt roads the LED mode is almost always bright enough to traverse any potholes and other rough spots. As long as I first go down the road in the daytime or with the bright xeon mode first to make sure there is nothing major I have no trouble riding with the LED.
The tail-light assembly is flimsy and will fall apart if left by itself. I took a piece of electrical tape and wrapped it around the frame of the light, problem solved and it looks perfectly natural. The headlight is less flimsy but kind of rattles on the dirt road. The base is extremely tight, so tight that I put it on and left it there. It is supposed to be able to take it off the mounting point but I find it so hard to unclip it is not worth the trouble. If I need to I will take along a mini-mag light.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2007Item arrived quickly. This was a gift purchase- have two other sets. Headlamp has four settings a bright and a dimmer incandescent setting, as well as two settings for the two leds, one constantly on and one blinking. The bright incandescent setting provides good lighting for night rides, but is not to be mistaken for one of the expensive headlamps which light up the roadway. Batts are 4 AA and they last approx an hour on the brightest setting with rechargables and then defaults to the LED continuously on setting. This setting stays on for over 24 hours. Provides enough light to see your way home, as well as being seen.
Tail lamp uses AAA batts and has multiple settings for constant on as well as different blink modes. Only flaw is that the tail lamp assembly can work loose in the housing, particularly if you have a seat pack. That said a piece of tape keeps it from coming out. Battery life is great, still on the original set after many night rides. Light is bright and shows up well.
Can't beat this set for the price. Alkaline batts seem to last longer, I carry a spare set.
