This new two-part bike light set from bedee is, in fact, two separate but complementary products bundled together. The set consists of a multimode forward facing light that can also be used as a helmet light or torch together with a multimode rear-facing red light. The current Amazon price of £14.99 and with an additional 7% discount at the time of writing makes this look attractive deal. But are the lights any good?
In the first box was the front light, USB to micro-USB charging cable, User Guide and mounts for the handlebars and helmet. It also works perfectly well as a torch when removed from the quick release mount and away from the bike at night. The 300 lumen light is bright and although not the brightest I have seen it is certainly the best I have encountered in this price bracket. Using it could not be simpler. There is a single large and easy to access button on the top which scrolls through Bright, Normal, Flashing and Off modes. The device is IPX 5 waterproof which means it should be fine in the rain for extended periods. On the rear is a grommet protected micro-USB port to charge the 1200mAh battery which is claimed to give a run time of six hours at the standard power and two to three at full power from a three-hour charge. An LED illuminates when the device is charging.
In the rear light box were just the light itself and USB to micro-USB charging cable. No instructions were included other than those on the box. This quick release light is also IPX5 water resistant and offers four lighting modes: Always On, slow LED scrolling, fast LED scrolling and Flashing. The rechargeable 350 mAh battery will run continuously for up to four hours and up to twelve hours when in slow scroll mode.
Both lights are good and bright, particularly the rear one, and should help to keep you safe on the roads at night. Build quality seems fine and both lights are small and neat enough to tuck away in a pocket when not needed. No real criticism to be made other than that the front light User Guide is almost entirely in Chinese but the illustrations make it clear how to fit the lamp if any instructions are indeed actually needed. I doubt if you will find a better bike light set for this price.
