Reelight bike lights, has anyone used them?

CamperMan

I am looking at getting http://www.reelight.com/Default.aspx?ID=153&ProductID=PROD73&action=ajaxGroupAndProduct&groupListID=GROUP23,GROUP21,GROUP22,GROUP37&SelectedGroupID=GROUP21 both front and rear lights, has anyone used these, are they any good?

battery lights are a bother when the batteries run out, dynamo systems.... not keen on them, Reelights look OK..

any suggestions?

I use them as a flashing complement to my proper (dynamo) lights.

The rear one works fine, the front one never has.

I've always thought of them as being too low to be of use. Not exactly eye level. Apparently there are new ones that are better.

hello BX 19

that's the ones I am talking about, seatpost mounted reelight and the handlebar mounted one, not the axle mounted versions

They look reely interesting...but is it that much hassle to keep a spare set of batteries in yer seat pack... or just use rechargeables and change them every 3 months with a freshly charged set.

yes... it is hassle...

batteries cost money, and so do the rechargeable ones with chargers..

I am looking at the Reelight lights to save on batteries, etc, and the fact that they are always on whilst in motion
