Activ Life 2-Tire Pack LED Bike Wheel Lights with Batteries Included! Get 100% Brighter and Seen from All Angles for Final Security and Model

Safety first
This product is nearly perfect and I hope you will get one or more sets as well! This green model is very bright, eye-catching, and a lot of fun to experience when the sun is down.At the time that I received this product I also had ordered the version that cycles through multiple colors. Both are excellent products and you will have to decide which is the right one for you. The big difference is that the singular color lights had two modes: On/Off — or blinking. I find myself appreciating the blinking mode a lot more often than I had anticipated and was disappointed that the color-switching one (while beautiful to behold) is only On or Off. You can read my review over on that model.As a (pre-pandemic) daily bicycle commuter, I found the side-illumination these afforded my tires to be invaluable for peace of mind. My rear-facing tail light and 1000 lumen headlight have long been staples BUT bicycling through an intersection always caused me to wonder whether the cross-traffic would notice me. Drivers are rarely on the lookout for cyclists where I live. I feel like these wheel lights changed my visibility to cross-traffic in a big way and I was very pleased to have them on anytime I was out pre-dawn or post-dusk. I even appreciated using them in flashing mode under the presumption that they may just give a little more visibility during the morning or evening commute when the sun was still up.The installation process isn’t ideal and I found it a little more difficult and worrisome than I had pictured. I found the tiny bulbs (like regularly-spaced dew on grass) to get in the way of twisting around my spokes and did not always feel like the wrapping was going well. It left me worried that I had or would damage them during the installation process. However, the material turned out to be remarkably durable and I was grateful that my 700C wheel fit the product perfectly for one trip around the outer rim. If I had a smaller wheel (or wanted to install on a kids bike) I imagine the number of trips around would feel tedious and a bummer that there aren’t shorter versions available. Or maybe it looks extra cool to have layering of the bulbs.The battery life on these are fair. In the cold weather they obviously take a hit but in general it seems like it would be 3 months of daily use in warm weather and 2 months in the winter. The usage period is likely longer but I have not kept very good track of battery life to report properly.Regarding maintenance, if you get your bicycle tuned up, these little lights will likely have to be worked around as the bicycle mechanic trues the wheel spokes OR if you hang your bicycle by the wheel, they will likely be an annoyance to you. But there isn’t any interaction with the lights (hopefully) when changing a tube. It feels like once they are installed they pretty well stay where you put them. I’ve had a few times where I wished that the lights were capable of being more cemented in place but in general I haven’t messed with their positioning along the spokes. Expect there to be at least a little movement, though, from where you install them.So yeah, I am a huge fan of the bike wheel spoke lights and I can only hope that the innovations will be able to continue and keep this product improving as it matures. Great work Activ Life!

The best lights I’ve found out the three I tested.
A few bucks more than the others but for how easy it is to install and switch out the batteries. Well worth the difference. It uses AAA batteries so if you are partial to AA, learn to buy and store AAAs. Easy to turn on/off, bright and I love that the design of the case is for the inside of the spokes (the others I tried clipped to the outer side of the spokes.I would give it a 5 star rating but the on/off button can pop off easily.

Looks great, But…
**UPDATE ON REVIEW** January 2024, After reaching out about the failed lights that I received, they made it rght! I received a replacement of the lights, and both strings worked perfectly! I’m so happy that my daughter is over the moon about them. Where she didn’t show much interest in her trike before, Now she is always wanting to be on it! Thanks for great customer service and a really fun product! Now, I’m giving ths product, 5 STARS! **End Update**These lights look really good and bright, however, I’m giving this product three stars only because when I received one of the sets of lights, (2 strings per box) that I ordered, one string didn’t work and the other string stayed on and would not turn off. It also never changed color as I did purchase the COLOR CHANGING LIGHTS. I was getting them for my daughter’s Trike (3 wheeled cycle) so, I needed several packs. Now, I guess I’m stuck having to order more IF I want to use them. Whatever happened to the lifetime warranty?

These bike lights are a bit more complicated to fit that some other styles of bike lights. Its easier with a second set of hands for example. But it comes with a solid set of fitting instructions. Just make sure you align the internal battery compartment correctly or the lights won’t work. But once they are on, they look amazing in use. The colours are great with the constant changing of color. And you don’t need to be going too fast to get a good effect from them.

So incredibly bright! It’s so awesome for being seen by vehicles while riding in the dark! They also look so cool!
