Customer Reviews
I bought a pair of these at my local bike shop for $20, so I was entirely aware of the size when I bought them. The price point did make me think about it for a moment, but between the lack of separate mounting hardware to break or lose (note: I always lose my headlight mounts -- always) and the fact that they could be easily transferred between my various bikes, I decided to give the SPOK lights a go. The lights turned out to be well worth the gamble.
First, as aforementioned, you cannot lose the mounting hardware on these -- you might lose the velcro wrapstrap, but if that happens all you need to do is pick up another wrap strap or run a zip tie through the strap housing. The lights mount securely to just about anything without the need for those weird little rubber shims that come with most head- and tail-light mounting brackets. They stay where you put them, as you positioned them. Their simplicity is, in a word, beautiful.
Moreover, these lights are brighter than you might expect. The design of the light housing prevents them from blinding you, the cyclist, while making your presence known to drivers within a wide radius. I have very good night vision, but am easily blinded by bright lights, so I really appreciate this.
Not only do I love my current SPOK lights, I'm planning on purchasing at least one more set -- I currently have the tail light mounted on my helmet, and would like to add one to my seatpost bag (because nothing succeeds like excess).
These are probably not designed as your sole light source for late-night rides on dark country roads. However, for commuting in town, they are about as perfect a choice as I have yet encountered. I love them.
It was an ok buy.. I was just thinking if it was really worth the money. I mean sure it's small and convenient, but performance wise it would be nice if it would illuminate more and help your viability. While biking in the night i didn't feel as safe with it as my old one. Another problem is with being seen, sure it helps prevent other bikers from being blinded by the light, but with this design, you don't get as noticed as much because of it. With driving even when you have lights in your face you don't have a difficult time driving still. You just look away slightly. This is probably where i made my mistake in thinking for others and not myself. I wouldn't really recommend it too much, your probably better off buying a bigger light that cost less and is brighter. They are conveniently small and easy to carry, but at what cost?..
