Best Lights for Cycling

A good pair of lights are essential for cycling safety. If you are wondering about the desirability of a good set of lights (or even 2nd back up) See this post - How dangerous is cycling at night?

Most powerful set of LED lights

Cateye EL530 And LD1100
The front light uses one ultra bright white LED with Cateye’s Opticube lens. This is very bright and has a total run time of 50 hours maximum. It is completely waterproof.

The rear light - TL1100. uses 10 ultra bright LEDS, it includes 6 facing behind and 2 on each side. This gives all round visibility, and will stand out on even the dimest lit roads.

  • Cateye EL530 and Cateye L1100 - From around £53.00

Smart Polaris II

At the budget end of light sets. These include a powerful white light and 3 LED rear light. Good value for money at £14.99

Metro Starter Light Set

At only £10.99 for a pair. These lights offer great value for money. Basic front and rear LED lights

Magnetic Back Up Lights

These lights require no batteries but use magnetic power from a revolving wheel and magnet. They offer flashing lights for extra visibility. Obviously only to be used as a back up, because they offer intermittent flashing light and do not work when bike is stationary.

  • Magnetic Back up lights - Reelight £23.99
