How to choose your Reelight bicycle lights?

When it comes to lighting, cyclists look for the following criteria: safety, reliability and durability. The Reelight brand, specializing in the manufacture of battery-free induction bicycle lights, meets their needs through a wide range of products. Here is a summary description and installation advice for the different Reelight bicycle lights .

How to choose your Reelight bicycle lights

Most Reelight bicycle lights work by electromagnetic induction . The principle is as follows: magnets attached to the spokes of the wheels will generate an electric current as soon as they pass in rotation in front of a sensor (or power supply unit). The lights come on from the first turn of the wheel.

Depending on the model, the rear light remains on when stationary thanks to a capacitor. The latter stores energy and fuels the fire even if you are stopped.

Useful for driving in the city in particular, they produce a flashing light allowing them to be clearly visible in the urban jungle up to 300 m . And this, day and night. Like most Reelight lights, they work with magnets attached to the spokes of the wheel. Note that they are equipped with a capacitor, ReePower ™ Flash , which causes the lights to remain on for another 2 minutes after the end of pedaling.CIO Reelight battery-free warning lights with battery
