BrightzWheelBrightz LED Bike Wheel Lights - 2025 Edition with Superior Straps & LED-Weatherproof Shield! 14 Colors - Unmatched Durability, Visibility & 48+ Hours of Dazzling Illumination

I got these for my boyfriend. So I originally ordered these from Amazon marketplace and by comparing the box I got to the genuine box photos, it was pretty obvious that I received knockoffs. Amazon was really good about refunding my purchase after I complained. Unfortunately, it looks like these keep getting sold by a series of slightly sketchy importers, using shifting names, and I don't fully trust that anyone selling Wheel Brightz under this listing is selling the genuine article. So I bought a new set of Wheel Brightz from the manufacturer's website.I am super bad at mechanical stuff, but installation was OK. Maybe 15-20 minutes per wheel.I got the pink one, my boyfriend got the multi-color. They both look great. The multi-color version looks kind of ugly when you're stationary compared to the other, more uniform colors, but it's totally sick when you're actually on the bike in motion -- it's like having a little rainbow whipping around your rim. For thirty bucks you bring a lot of joy to the world -- we probably average one direct compliment for every 1-2 miles or so of biking, depending on pedestrian density (and I overhear a lot of people talking about the lights but not directly to us). Typical encounters: A little kid in Bernal Heights shouted "you have a cool bike!" from his front porch. A (probably slightly intoxicated) pedestrian in the Mission told my boyfriend he had the coolest bike in San Francisco and gave him a fist-bump. Another stranger shouted, "I like your Playa bike!" (this is not my Playa bike, although these lights would be perfect for Burning Man.) The lights are very bright and visible, although you still need to have standard front and rear lights, as the Wheel Brightz can't be seen from directly behind or in front of the bike.Update: A year later, I still haven't had to change the batteries! I have had to order one replacement power supply for my boyfriend's bike, though -- we hang our bikes vertically by the front wheel on wall-mounted hanging racks and over time, the power cord got caught between the wheel and the rack enough times that it frayed and wore through. (You can avoid this if you are reasonably careful when you hang up your bike and avoid crushing the power connector cable -- it just hadn't occurred to us that this would be a problem until the cable broke, so we didn't bother trying to avoid it.) More recently, a segment (about a quarter) of the lights on one of his wheels went out, although you can't tell when the bike is in motion. Again, this is probably caused by hanging the bike by the front wheel.Update II: I've gotten several more sets of these, and they're still great, but I notice that in some of the sets I've bought more recently, in the initial packaging, the battery pack is screwed on so tightly I've had to use an electric screwdriver to open it -- it would be nice if they could fix that and not over-tighten the screws!Update III: I recently brought a pair of these to Burning Man. I noticed on the Playa that of all the different lighting schemes people used for their bikes, Wheel Brightz were the brightest and most visible -- far better than EL wire or front and rear lights. If you are planning to go to Burning Man, I would recommend Wheel Brightz as an absolute must-have for your bike.

My son loves this on his bike I got two for front and back wheel and it's bright....took a min to get it on his spikes but we did it.

Very bright. Great for night time riding. Safety first and looks great. Will put these on all of our bikes.

Easy to install

OK, I love these lights! I have monkeylectric lights, and those, of course, are sort of the top-of-the-line wheel lights. Let's face it, they are expensive, but they are a breeze to install and they work great. BUT, so do these! I think I paid about $8 a wheel (so under $20 with shipping) and it took me about, 10-20 minutes to get these on my spokes. I have a small beach cruiser (see picture) and the lights were a little longer than the tire - meaning at one point I actually went all the way around the circumference of the tire, then ended up doubling up for a few inches. I probably could have been more OCD about putting each light on each spoke but, meh, it looks fine. You don't NEED zip-ties for these to stay put, but I recommend using them, just so things stay in place over time and in a variety of conditions. These are REALLY nice and BRIGHT and have a few settings, too, which I don't know if the advertisement mentions (they blink, etc.). I can't believe what a deal these were. I really love them and they are FUNCTIONAL. If you can't spring for Monkeylectric lights (which I have on my other bike), then these are the way to go. :)

Grandson loved these on his bike!

I’ll start by saying that I love my wheel lights! Truly! But I could tell right away that the straps provided to hold the battery packs in place were going to fail. They did. My husband has a bunch of mini bungees in the garage that I’m using instead, which is fine bc I had them on hand, but that shouldn’t be the case. I’ve contacted the company and will update this review once things have been resolved, but anyone making a similar purchase should be aware of the issues I had. The rubber straps are not durable at all. Really fun product though, and everything else about the purchase was totally fine. 👍🏼✨

I liked fast shipping.

This would be the (count em') 7th we've bought of this product. Originally we bought them for a novelty bike ride event but now we ride with them on all of our bikes just due to the added safety.The older version had a different battery pack but I like this one better as it is much easier to get into to replace batteries. On that topic, 1 set of batteries will last FOREVER. In winter my commute is about 25 min.. so maybe in a given week, I ride with them on 3-4 hours,.. and I change the battery once per season.I've tried other brands that we "ok" but the tube is a must or the wires would be too fragile so this is the brand we came back to. Certain colours are much brighter than others.. green is the best and this time around I bought rechargeable batteries and discovered they actually make the lights even brighter for some reason.So worth it to keep yourself safe.

My kids loved these as a gift. Easy to install.

These lights would be much improved by a USB-rechargeable Li-ion battery.

my girlfriend loves them

Very cool, my son loves them !
