I've used the same rear cycle light for ages and thought that it was perfectly visible. I recently read a review of this the SMART SM317R in a magazine where they raved on about how bright it was for such a cheap price. In this day and age where if you are a cyclist you need to do your upmost to be seen, I thought i'd get one.....for the grand sum of £10.50 on ebay!!!!!
Before you switch it on, it looks like any other light, but when you switch it on that's where the similarities end.........
......this light is BRIGHT!!!! Not only is it bright, but it has the same flashing pattern as an emergency vehicle flashing lights, which draws even more attention to you. It says that battery time (and yes, they are included in the price) is approx 160 hours for flashing mode - only time will tell if that is the case.
If you want to be seen in the dark, get one of these. I'm embarrased at how dull my old light was. Well worth the £10.50.
