WingLights Mag - Direction Indicators for Bicycles (Carbon Black) / Bike Indicators

I saw this on Amazon, read the description and reviews and thought I’d give it a go though I did think they were a bit pricey, I could better understand if they were USB rechargeable but they use CR2032 batteries. They are certainly well made and robust (being made from aluminium) so are in no way fragile, are bright and easy to use as mentioned by other reviewers and easy to put and take off, I would give this 5 stars as others have but struggled to do so for one reason – they are a bit too easy to come off.The very first time I used them I didn’t make it half way home from work before I noticed (when trying to indicate to turn left) that the light was not there, the base unit was but not the indicator itself. I didn’t know when it fell off but it was gone, I’d hit a few lumps bumps and potholes riding home through London but the right one had stayed put though the left one didn’t. After I’d got home I tested the right one to see just how much force it would take to knock it off and I’m afraid it’s not that much, I bumped my hand against it and off it came, so if you find yourself in a tight squeeze somewhere or walking your bike through crowds be aware your lights can get knocked off. Thinking back I’m guessing that’s what happen to me when I was walking my bike though a crowded pavement to get to the road.I gave customer feedback on this to Wing Lights and they offered to send a free replacement, you can’t fault great customer service like that – well done them. I’ve learnt my lesson and have now taped the lights to the base unit to add greater security, I think a BC or screw fitting would be better than just a magnet to attach it to the base unit, yes it may not be as stylish but would be more secure, but nonetheless they are great lights and I do recommend them. Just be wary of what your bar ends might bump into or what might bump into them.

These are great for commuting through London at night. Easy to use but don't forget to take them off when you chain your bike up! Easy to forget especially when you first use them.

Worth the purchase , good value

Really useful, I could see the drivers noticing the lights and allowing lane change way better than having to keep the hand off the handle for a long time.

started falling apart, great idea bad execution.

Great

Perfect stuff, nice look

A wonderful idea and very well presented indeed. The design and materials are great - especially the use of magnets to hold them in place and the way that they can so easily be stored as a keyring. The only issue I have is that the lights are very easy to turn themselves on when stored in a pocket/bags in their keyring configuration.
