To any one who may consider buying the Bike Brightz they are only worth $9.99 not $14.99. I was really lucky to get mine for $9.99 on Amazon. The makes of the lights had them on sale also on their web site for $9.99 but the price has jumped right back up with both sellers to $14.99. I purchase mine just less then a week ago for $9.99 and now their at $14.99 is outrageous! The lights are only worth $9.99 period folks. Their nice but but if I was going to pay $14.99 I would rather buy Anvil wheel lights or Hokey Spokes. Just remember any lights can be easily stolen except for Monkey Lights.

I purchase these lights in ever color except yellow, and purple. They are bright, but the compartment door can easily be broken if you do not pay attention. The door is on a t-mount slide type opening. When placing batteries in I kindly recommend you cut a piece of small or fat wide thin ribbon and stick it in before loading the last battery. Allow the pieces of ribbon to rap around the last battery and then slide the door into place. I love the green. and blue. I have read some folks have been stop for having blue lights by law enforcement. I have not had that problem. You will be seen with the blue, and green with no question. Remember folks you get more life our of the batteries while keeping the lights in the flashing modes. I

This is their response to a question about steady mode battery duration.

Phil,

In steady mode the lights will last about 6 hours. In fast flash mode the lights will last up to 30 hours. This is based on using high quality alkaline batteries. If you are going to use rechargeable NiMH batteries the time will be decreased and varies according to the quality of the NiMH. You could expect 4 to 5 hours out of NiMH.

Thanks for the question,
Bike Brightz

While not optimal, it seems reasonable.

Yeah, I wouldn’t use blue lights ESPECIALLY in concert with red. If the cops don’t get you the folks that think you’re a cop will.

The 30 hours is for blinking mode, but their site interestingly leaves out the the runtime for continuous mode.

Jamey, do you have a reference regarding low-draw usage reducing NiMH lifespan?

How would these Bike Britez compare to the Down Low Glow?

And off-topic: When did y’all get this new look?

30 hours of battery life doesn’t sound like much, especially when you compare it to a standard rear blinkie. But look — this thing is WAY more intense…the pool of light is pretty sizeable. And, 30 hours is one 1-hour-long dark ride for a whole month. That’s plenty.

@Jamey: Rechargeables may not survive as long in low-drain applications as they do in others, but it is still a million times better than using disposeables. I’ve amassed a pile of NiMH AA and AAA batteries for all the lights on my bikes and haven’t had any failures yet, and not one has wound up in the landfill (knock on wood).
