Very good quality - detachable - SET of TWO.
There are so many lights to choose from but I am absolutely satisfied that I chose this set from HeroBeam.Main light - I had to decide if I wanted a light that was dedicated to my bike of could be used as a torch.Defiantly wanted a removable torch to increase the options for use, not just a light dedicated to my bike, which may be stored for some time.I had to decide if I wanted to attach a separate battery pack. Definitely not!I wanted to deal with a UK stock supplier, not something shipped direct from overseas.This narrowed down the options and although this offer was a little bit harder to find it ticked all the boxes with the bonus of a full set for two bikes being supplied for a very good price.The main light is a quality product manufactured in aluminium.The beam can be adjusted from a high powered spot to a broad bright beam by simply revolving the body.Very bright throughout the range and includes an option to reduce the brightness or flash.The battery life, good or bad, does not bother me as I will using rechargeables. (std batteries are included for all lights in the set).The rear lights are simple, they are bright and have the option of continuous, fast flash or slow flash and work well.Spoke lights, if you need them, work well.The packaging is very high quality and in clear plain English – not a dodgy translation from another language. Hero Beam seem to be a USA based company with stock and support in the UK.For a set of removable lights for two bikes, these are very hard to beat – look no further.If you are a dedicated all-weather night time rider you may find something more appropriate higher up the price range.

Excellent quality light set for price
Budget double cycle light set that is actually far from that. Comes in a quality box with each item set into foam packaging its own bespoke cut hole that could be used to store the lights if you where in a habit of removing them from you bike regularly. Front lights are a metal body and feel well made, they require 3 AAA batteries each (not supplied) and produce a good light beam with various focus depths and flashing setting. The shape and size of the front lights along with a wrist strap attached to them mean they could easily double as a torch once removed from the bracket. The front bracket seems a good quality plastic with thumb type screws on both the clamp to your bike and the clamp to the light meaning that the light and/or complete bracket can be easily and quickly removed if leaving your bike somewhere. One attached it seems solid enough to keep is in place on the roughest of roads. Rear LED light is small and discrete with a hook and loop type attachment to fix to your seat pole. LED has always on and two flash speeds setting via a simple button on the rubberized body. The tire value LED's are the only slight let down as they are made with a cheap plastic which you need to be careful not to over-tighten when setting up the batteries and attaching the your tire value. The value LED's are bright though so will definitely improve your side on viability to other road users.Overall good quality product that is excellent value for money that I'd happily recommend to anyone.

Very good but not as good as I expected
First, let me say the 5 year warranty is great. It's one of the primary reasons I took a chance and bought these lights. Also, the construction is great, really solid with no hint of cheapness. The mounting system is good too, very intuitive and straightforward.The valve-cap LEDs are excellent although 3 of them are not as bright as the fourth one... and it's quite obvious but they are great in that when cycling along your wheels will be visible from miles away.The red lights are good too in that they fasten easy and stay put... they are red lights, so not much to say about them.Back to the headlights...The light output isn't as good as I thought it would be. They are bright, but not bright enough for me.I bought it for night time mountain biking and even with both lights shining down the track they aren't bright enough: Certainly not as bright as I thought they would be.Now, don't get me wrong... they are still quite bright lights and as £10 LED lights go (cost me £20 for the pair, ergo £10 each) they are sufficiently bright as torches and to give you an approximate idea of what is ahead of you but if you are bombing through a forest at night and you see something in front of you the amount of light isn't sufficient to be confident that you can go over it without second guessing yourself. Or at least by the time you see something clear enough, it's a bit closer than I would like.It there is total darkness your eyes do adjust somewhat to night vision and the lights perform better (still not perfect, but better) but any light pollution, like streetlights (even quite some distance away) will diminish the effective brightness somewhat.I may be overly harsh as my previous light, a no-brand chinese thing, was brilliant and incredibly bright but it died hence the need for another but that isn't to say that they suck... far from it.I have decided to use one as a torch that I will keep in my backpack when out biking anyway as it's more than powerful enough for that and I am modifying the other one (well, the bracket) to mount onto my helmet so it's not a total loss.Overall, I would say between 3.5 and 4 would be my score.If you are using them as primary headlights and you are road cycling then they are great: They will be seen from miles away and since you have two, one can be set to solid light and the other flashing so cars can't miss you.If you are using them in forests or off-road anywhere then you will have to slow down or get another, brighter one to supplement it.
