JRL 12V 6W 6V 3W Motorized Bicycle Head Tail Lamp Friction Generator Dynamo Light Kit Suit

When it arrived I felt I got a good deal. It was bigger than expected.I commend the designer on a simple, inexpensive design, Unfortunately it is quite cheaply, and haphazardly made.The light and dynamo was shiny, the rest looked like a cheap dull metal, the tail light metal parts were dull and cheap looking. I polished the metal parts on the dynamo and the rear light since it would be installed on a new bike.The mountings for the light was pretty useless for my set up. I ended up making all my own mountings.The light switch is complete garbage, it sticks and is difficult to switch between high and low beam. This doesn't come with LED lights, I am not sure if they will work with the forever changing current that dynamos put out but will update this when I try.After not working right I realized a wire was loose inside the dynamo. The back plate of the dynamo is pressure fitted, so it pulls off easily. Inside it was quite dirty, there was a paper insulating washer and some very brittle wire. The soldering was also a joke. I managed to solder a new wire from the coil pack to the contact and it worked fine. The low beam is bright, the high beam, not so much, but there is more spread. It spreads across the road in front of you and lights the way a little. Not like a motorcycle or car headlamp but enough to see and, more importantly, be seen by others. It works on a motorized bicycle. At around 5mph you can see the light, at 15 it is possible to see the road ahead, a bit.What does this all mean for you? Nothing, unless you can get this much cheaper with free shipping ($15 at time of purchase) or if you want the best and don't want to do any work on it. If that is the case then you better off getting something of better quality, and I am not sure where you will find that.My pics show the polished parts with home made mount, and headlight mounted.

I had very high hope for this product. I had these in the 1970s and the quality of those back then were excellent.This one was quite cheaply made and the fit and finish did not fit well at all. I tried it for a night then the bulb blew out.I ended up returning it.

When it showed up the box inside the package was split open that aside it was in good shape. It only came with one wire and that is attached to the rear light, luckily I had some spare wires laying around. The light bulb in the rear light is not rated for 12 volts It burnt out quickly. But after replacing that light bulb with a light bulb that can handle 12 volts the whole thing seems to be working just fine. The mounts it came with worked for my bike they might not work for every bike, they are a bit odd. It was a bit of a headache to wire mainly because I have never seen this style of connection but once I figured it out it worked.

I found out you only get 1 wire and it is on the tail light. And you will need to wire it because it will not get a ground. In fact you will need to ground everything. the bike itself is the ground wire. but you will need to add a ground wire to each light bulb. If you want it to work. You will also need a hot wire for the head light. Because as I said you only get 1 wire and it is on the tail light.

Purchased 2 for gifts exchanged one out for not working, the next one didn’t work, decided to return all and still waiting on refund. Not worth the money or time. Paid a couple more dollars at Walmart but it works!

Don’t waste your money!!!! Back works, front does not! And it cost more to wait to resend and get money back, then to just throw it away!!

Cheap, cheap, cheap. I bought this set expecting low quality and the mounts being so universal that they don't work with anything. I wasn't suprised or let down. I mainly bought it for the dynamo and the light housings, everything else is being modified or replaced to fit my application.

Product arrived missing the generator and a bracket for the front light. Had to send it back!
