BenRan Ultra Bright Headlight Taillight for Bicycle

Unfortunately this light set is pretty disappointing. I think it's a classic "you get what you pay for" scenario. My experience with this light set has been pretty underwhelming. The best thing about them is the price. I think I've given these a fair shake and still, disappointment. The head light is just "ok". It basically just glows. It doesn't put any real beam of light on the path. If your objective is just to be seen, then this will be fine. But if you really want to see where you are going and light up the trail ahead of you, this isn't going to get the job done. Mine also has an annoying squeak. I've taking it off and put it back on the bars and really tightened it, but after a while, it starts squeaking again. As for the tail light, I'll stop short of saying its junk, but it's not much better than junk. It does put out decent light when it works and has several flash options, but it hasn't worked through an entire ride yet. We ride primarily paved trails and roads, but for some reason this light will not stay on. We can stop and turn it back on, but it inevitably goes off again. I try to judge products with their price point in mind, and for a $10 light set, I give it a 2 stars. At the same time I purchased this set I also purchased a $24 set and it has been outstanding. I have a friend that spent $90 on a set and honestly, it's a waste of money compared to my $24 set. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more. You don't need to spend a fortune, just don't cheap out. Obviously the large majority of the reviewers here have had good luck with this set, but if you have experience with more than just this light set, it will be obvious there are better choices for not a lot more money.

These lights are a case of, "you get what you pay for." They are cheaply made. The front light is bright, but illuminates such a small area it is not adequate. I ride bumpy roads and the inner fitting fell out - who knows where. I have been unsuccessful in attaching the front light so it doesn't flip on major bumps, and the cover for the battery compartment has fallen off due to bumps in the road as well. The rear light has fared much better, and I appreciate it for making me visible on dark mornings. I'm probably going to have to invest in a front light that is much more sturdy and that can stay put.P.S. Today I road my bike through a heavy rain. The back light, which I was willing to call suitable, began turning on spontaneously, repeatedly through the day. I turned it off; it came back on, again and again. I finally had to remove the batteries to get it to stay turned off. I am reducing my star rating to one because the back light is very poor as well, turns out.

I used the headlight from this combo, but not the taillight. The light itself works fine and is plenty bright, and I like that it can pivot in increments left and right.However, the clamp on the headlight broke today on the way to work while I was going over some rough pavement (not jumping curbs or anything). The problem, as best I can tell, was that the clamp was too tight and couldn't take the stress; however I HAD to tighten it to that degree to get the headlight to stay put. This is because the headlight's center of gravity is not centered over the handlebar, but shifted forward by 3/4 inch or so. So when you go over bumps, the headlight wants to pivot downwards. As it was, I had to tighten it repeatedly and insert several extra pieces of rubber to get it to stay... but it failed anyway :-/

The taillight is actually ok, calling the headlight "ultra bright" is stretching it a bit. Bought this because the headlight uses AAA batteries which are normally cheaper and more common. Lights both work fine, but I have since replaced the headlight with a different model as it's just not bright enough to even illuminate the ground in front of me to identify hazards.For the price you pay it works. Once you start riding on a dark street and realize a light is actually a safety feature, you may be like me and spend a couple more bucks on a headlight.

These lights are bright and are GREAT for dark, night time riding (which is why I bought them). The white headlight is made very well and easily screws on and off. The only problem with the headlight is that the band is a little too big for my bike, so the light flops forward when I am riding. With the tail-light, it is not a specified brand and therefore, the band is much more cheaply made. That is a bummer, but again, the light is bright. Good price for two good products!

While the front light is sufficiently bright, it's useless to me because the design of the attachment is so weak it falls off easily. The plastic slide on the plastic housing is weak and bent and does not allow the light to click securely when you place the light on it. My light thus slid off and fell onto the street a mile or so in riding with it. The top housing of the light itself also does not secure tightly to the main body, so the batteries become exposed too often.The rear light also is weakly constructed. It shatters into all its components, batteries flying, if it falls from even a few feet high onto the street.I would not buy this item again, and was disappointed with its performance.

As a metropolitan bike rider, I was in desperate need of a headlight and taillight for biking the city streets at night.The headlight was well worth the price on it's own! It's incredibly easy to install. It's simple to operate and works well whether rain or shine. It's a bit dull so I wouldn't use it on dark streets, but it's perfect for areas with street lights.The taillight on the other hand, disappointed me. I own a cruiser and there was no place to install it where drivers could see it. There's a rubber piece that is supposed to hold the light in place on the bike but if you end up losing this piece then it's a lost cause.
