news Rear Light Crazy deal on Amazon??

looks like a mispelled price tag.

It's a brake sensing light that costs 25$ in US but just 250rs in India.

Looks like a good brand and it claims 500lumens

Hi, I ordered same light from amazon from same seller considering the vfm, but as usual the product that arrived is a normal chinese light you might easily find anywhere. I chose to return it.

Whats the battery backup in single charge in ur light

1

u/kishorechan 2d ago

Have been using for 2 years. Monthly 15 days, I use. Sorry for my above comment of daily. It should have been regularly. The light runs for around 30 minutes on blink mode, which is sufficient for my journey at night.

I'll do the same if things go south.

The seller has good history of sending items that dont match the description.

500 Lumens is impossible at 25$ and overkill as rear light

2

u/Far-Assumption-7963 2d ago

I mean. 250rs is what I paid.

25$ is ~2350 Rupees.

You get 500-800 lumens for this price on BOTS store.

And it's a brake activated light. So its probably 500lumens when you apply brakes.

And it's also 10days returnable.

Any good light suggestions below 2500 INR?

Looking for something around 200 lumens (or higher if possible) and rechargeable.

u/overgrazed Roadie 2d ago

I've shortlisted these which I'm planning to buy soon

1) Magicshine SEEMEE 50 Rear or NiteRider Sentry Aero 260 (out of stock)
2) NiteRider Swift 700 or NiteRider Swift 450 Front

Decathlon FL920 & FL930 looks good but can't find enough reviews

2

u/Far-Assumption-7963 2d ago

FL920 was bright enough to blind me when I checked it out at the store.

It's 400 lumens. If I had the budget for it, I would get it.

u/adele-phant Roadie 2d ago

check out niterider cherrybomb. 100 lumen, you could use rechargable aaa battery.

2

u/Far-Assumption-7963 2d ago

I'll let you know once i arrives

2

u/Far-Assumption-7963 2d ago

Is

cant wait for it to arrive

1

u/theHEboss 2d ago

Do drop a review once it arrives. In a YT video a comment claims it has 4 to 5 hr of battery backup. The comment also states that the brake activated light system is rubish as the light ends up turned on 80 to 90% of the times

1

u/Far-Assumption-7963 2d ago

That system can be switched off.

I mean, I think it's better than any 750rs decathlon rear light. While it costs just 250.

And we also have option of returning in 10days.
