Activ Life 2-Tire Pack LED Bike Wheel Lights with Batteries Included, Get 100% Brighter and Visible from All Angles for Ultimate Safety and Style

So far, I've had no issues. I got my first pack of these from a thrift store and loved them, so I got these for my road bike and have no issues. The pack I ordered here didn't come with instructions, but they were easy to remember how to install. I like that the batteries are included too. I'm an avid cyclist and work night shift, so I figured these would be a noteworthy investment (solely for safety, how they look is totally irrelevant to me, lol). I've gotten compliments on them from cars and late-night trail users. They don't interfere with tire changes either. They seem a little flimsy, but they've held up well against dirt. Ive not gotten them that wet to know for sure, though. The lights are bright enough to be seen from a distance, and definitely turn heads, which makes me feel safer in the dark. They don't weigh much or feel bulky either. I feel like a kid, but they really are practical for safety.

Easy to install, looks to be more sturdy than a different brand I had purchased a few years ago. Very bright, looks cool and definitely makes night riding safer for my kids. One thing I’ve noticed with some of the brighter colors (e.g., green, probably white) is that they can be so bright that they might reduce your night vision. I prefer to put the slightly less-bright colors (e.g., blue) on the front tires and a brighter color on the rear tires. YMMV.

**UPDATE ON REVIEW** January 2024, After reaching out about the failed lights that I received, they made it rght! I received a replacement of the lights, and both strings worked perfectly! I'm so happy that my daughter is over the moon about them. Where she didn't show much interest in her trike before, Now she is always wanting to be on it! Thanks for great customer service and a really fun product! Now, I'm giving ths product, 5 STARS! **End Update** These lights look really good and bright, however, I'm giving this product three stars only because when I received one of the sets of lights, (2 strings per box) that I ordered, one string didn't work and the other string stayed on and would not turn off. It also never changed color as I did purchase the COLOR CHANGING LIGHTS. I was getting them for my daughter's Trike (3 wheeled cycle) so, I needed several packs. Now, I guess I'm stuck having to order more IF I want to use them. Whatever happened to the lifetime warranty?

Love the lights, and the look, only complaint is the website link they included for the website to watch the installation video was not valid. The instructions included with the product were easy to understand, but it would have been helpful to see the video as well.

These lights are super fun and bright. The battery pack is a little tough to strap with the rubber band thing, but I understand why since you want it to be really snug. I was able to do it, it just required a good amount of hand/finger strength! My partner helped so that makes it easier if you have a helper! You do want to make sure you wrap the wire with the lights nice and tightly around the spokes to keep it flush so they aren't wiggling around and so you have enough to go around the whole wheel (my daughter has 24" wheels).

I pored over a lot of reviews trying to find out what exactly Galactic was compared to Pastel. Galactic has only 2 settings: Constant On and Off. I believe this might only apply to Galactic since it's default already shifts between flashing and fading, which is really cool looking. When it's on, it has lights that fades into different colors every second for 7 seconds. The colors shift from pastel (pink, teal green, yellow, light blue) to non-pastel (red, dark blue, dark green, white). After 7 seconds, the lights will then go crazy, flashing brightly between pastel and non-pastel themes for about 7 seconds. Then it repeats. Their installation video link doesn't work, but there is a paper with instructions that was easy enough to follow (I uploaded it for anyone who didn't receive one in their box). All lights were in working order. When installing onto your tire, put the batteries in, and don't unravel the lights before starting. Leave them coiled tightly like how it came, only unravel as you start weaving them through the spokes. It's easier that way. Initially I was torn between ordering Pastel and Galactic. I ordered Galactic because I had a harder time knowing exactly what it looked like and what colors it had, I figured give it a shot. Galactic might be a bit too many colors for my personal preference, but I'll go with it for now. (EDIT- I ended up returning it for Pastel since I like those colors better... but I do wish pastel would fade and go into berserk flashing mode like Galactic). For comparison, my other half already installed a different brand of bike lights on another bike- Wheel Brightz. I rolled the dice on getting ActivLites. The other brand, WheelBrightz, chosen color is just red, and only has 2 modes (solid on, and off, no blinking). It has the light strand encased in a plastic sleeve, and the lights don't seem to be as bright as the ActivLites. WheelBrightz has a larger battery pack (square) that attaches to the spokes, and requires 3 AA batteries. ActivLite is a smaller battery pack shaped like a film cannister and is installed onto the center wheel hub (more hidden profile!). I was able to install it to the inner hub myself, with a little effort. I have 27.5" wheels (700 x32c) and each ActivLite pack was enough to line each rim completely with 2 LEDs left over. I worked carefully because the ActivLite strand is thin, bare wire, only sleeved about 8 inches where it connects to the battery pack. ActivLite seems more fun, bright and cheery than its competitor. I will keep an eye on which brand starts having problems first. I shared a picture of the thin wire and pretty much hidden battery pack in the center wheel hub for ActivLites, and showed a picture of the WheelBrightz square battery pack on the spokes with plastic encased wire, for comparison. I also posted a video showing Galactic and its colors, and Pastel in its colors.

Only one string of lights worked. But we put one set on the front wheel and they look awesome! Super disappointed the other string didn’t work.

Love these lights! we’ve always had them for my kids and my bikes. they last forever and they’re quite easy to put on

These bike lights are a bit more complicated to fit that some other styles of bike lights. Its easier with a second set of hands for example. But it comes with a solid set of fitting instructions. Just make sure you align the internal battery compartment correctly or the lights won't work. But once they are on, they look amazing in use. The colours are great with the constant changing of color. And you don't need to be going too fast to get a good effect from them.

Really loved these little lights for a bike parade I went into, they are pretty and light up really well.

I put my bike upside down and added lights. Simple instructions.I always make sure I have batteries in my bag , as you never know when they go. When I’m bike riding in the dark, so many comments of how lovely they are. From foot passengers to cars hooting, and bikers. The lights are very bright and look lovely . I don’t have them flashing , that’s too dazzling . Worth every penny . I only enjoy now biking when it’s dark so I can put the lights on. I’m a glitter girl anyway sooo these are right up my street. My work colleagues see me and they laugh 😂😂😂😂😂 Well done for making my day.

Génial au niveau sécurité en hiver de nuit sous la pluie !! En plus les couleurs sont superbes… dommage que le chargement USB n’est pas possible, les piles c’est pas très ecolo… sinon j’adore !!

J'ai installé ces éclairages pour avoir un vélo qui détonne la nuit et pour plus visible. visible sur les côtés du vélo dans un carrefour et pas uniquement de face. Et j'ai aussi installer ces loupiotes sur mon panier avant pour relancer ma lumières que je dois tout le temps chargée ( tous les jours). Tiens des mois. Top sous la pluie. ^^.
