Bicycle Tail Light (5LED+2Laser) | MyPId™

Bicycle tail light

Lights on bicycles are required by law, whether they are front, rear or side lights. These lights must be fixed, non-flashing, and visible by day and night. Any cyclist who fails to comply with this requirement is subject to a fine. Bicycle taillights are therefore essential if you wish to travel by bicycle. How do you choose the most suitable rear light for your bike and your needs? We have collected and compared customer opinions in order to offer you an analysis of the best rear bike rear lights. 

What is a bike taillight?

A bike rear light is a lighting or light-reflecting device that is placed at the rear of the bike, on the saddle, on the rear seatstays or on the luggage rack.

This equipment, made mandatory by French law, makes the cyclist and his bike more visible at night and during the day (especially when visibility conditions are bad, for example in fog).

Who is the bicycle rear light intended for?

The bicycle rear light is mandatory in principle: cyclists who do not have one are liable to a fine.

The bike rear light is therefore intended for all cyclists, beginners or confirmed, whatever the frequency of use of the bike, and even if they only ride during the day. In addition, the bike tail light is not only for adult cyclists; children's bikes must also be equipped with this light.

How to choose and install your bike lights?

Bicycle lighting is one of the most important bicycle safety features. In fact, it is part of the mandatory equipment. From city bikes to mountain bikes, your bike must have a yellow or white front bike light and a red rear bike light. How to choose your bike light? Our purchasing guide suggests you choose the brightness you need, the type of power supply you prefer, and the technologies of major brands such as Busch and Muller or Reelight. And finally, according to how the light is attached to the bike. 

1. How to choose a bike light based on brightness

Which light power should I choose for my bike light?

There are two units for measuring the intensity of a bicycle light: Lumen and Lux. The Lumen (lm) is the unit of measurement for light efficiency; the amount of energy emitted by a source in the form of light radiation. It therefore measures the power of a light source. As for the Lux, it also measures the efficiency of light but per unit area, i.e. illuminance. 1 Lux = 1 Lumens per m². Everything is explained in our guide on Lux and Lumens.

If a cyclist rides on a well-lit road like in the city center occasionally, a bike light of 10 lux is the recommended minimum. Note that in the city on well-lit roads, the 10 lux allow to be seen but do not really bring a better visibility for the cyclist. For poorly lit roads, it is preferable to equip your bike with headlights of at least 20 lux.

Warning:

Lux and Lumen alone do not define the performance of a light. Indeed, you have to take into account the whole of it, such as the width, depth, anti-glare or the precision of the light-dark limit.

It is also important to know that although bicycle lights are part of the mandatory signaling accessories in cities on bicycles, no precision is given on the power of these lights. The only restriction is that the light must not be dazzling.

Choose a Led/diode or bulb bike light?

The advantage of a light with a conventional bulb is that it offers a high lateral visibility. And if you ride on poorly lit roads, halogen bulbs are more efficient than simple bulbs. Beware of these types of lights that consume a lot of energy. The autonomy time decreases sharply if they are powered by something other than a dynamo.

There are also lights with LED/diode (Light Emitting Diode, or LED) more efficient than the old bulb lamps. The advantages of LED bike lights are the following:

• A powerful light
• Saving energy
• A long life span.

These lights are sometimes equipped with reflectors and allow both seeing and being seen. LEDs also offer ideal power for more common use and do not require bulb replacement.

A diode/LED beacon makes it possible to be seen. It is interesting for example to install a yellow-orange LED light on the back of your bike. Indeed, it allows the cyclist to be visible to other road users, in addition to being economical in terms of cost and energy. For a front light, it is recommended to use a yellow-green LED light.

How to choose your bike lighting: flashing light or fixed light?

Some lights include lights that can be switched from fixed to flashing mode. The flashing mode allows you to be more eye-catching to other road users, in addition to having a greater range. For example: a light in flashing mode will have a 4-hour autonomy compared to 2 hours in continuous mode.

Caution : 

a fixed, non-flashing tail light is mandatory by law. However, this light can be doubled by a flashing light, for even more visibility.

Which bike lights to be original?

Lighting is, of course, a safety element above all. But like many bicycle accessories, it can also combine the useful with the pleasant. Original bicycle lighting that will set you apart from other road users. Attracting even more attention. Which can't hurt on a bike. You can, for example, add an original bike light that draws patterns on your wheel when you pedal.

2. Choose a bike light according to the power supply

In which cases can dynamo lights be chosen?

The dynamo is a magnet generator that converts the force exerted on the pedals into electricity. Therefore, it works without a battery thanks to the effort provided by the cyclist. It is a very good choice for regular use of a city bike or a touring bike. The advantages of bicycle lights on dynamo are: unlimited autonomy, modest weight, reliability.

There are two types of dynamo :

• The classic dynamo by friction placed on the rear wheel, and more precisely on the side of the tire. It is the most classic and oldest system, and often the cheapest and most universal because it fits almost all bikes.
• The dynamo is placed in the hub of the front wheel. It provides powerful bicycle lighting, despite a loss of energy, and is resistant to rain and wind. It requires less effort but makes the bike heavier, which can be scary for the more sporty riders.

Warning: 

the autonomy can stop when the cyclist stops pedaling. To keep some light during the stop time, it is possible to install a capacitor. This one takes over as soon as the bike stops. This increases the visibility of the bike and therefore the safety of the cyclist.

Battery-powered bike lights, the right choice of lighting?

Equipping yourself with a battery-powered bike light is a good choice when you don't ride much (2 to 3 times a week). It's the easiest to use lighting, generally light and keeps your bike clean.

The power of the light is constant with a battery-operated bike light. There is no decrease in intensity when you pedal less. Be careful though, the autonomy of battery-powered lights, although good, is limited. It is important not to be "fooled" at the end of the battery cycle. You may find yourself in the dark at the end of your ride, because the power of the lights decreases with the duration of use. 

A good idea is to opt for lights that work with rechargeable batteries. They will also have less negative impact on the environment. It takes about 20 to 40 hours of use to fully amortize them.

Rechargeable lights, ecological and durable lights

Battery-powered rechargeable lights are excellent solutions for cyclists who ride daily (journeys of more than 1 hour to 4 hours). It is generally recommended to invest in a battery-powered model, especially if you regularly ride on poorly lit roads. For the most part, lights without batteries 2 in 1 ensure the visibility of the cyclist in addition to having little impact on the environment.

There are several types of powerful battery-powered bicycle lights.

USB battery lights for easy recharging

Battery-powered bike lights are perfect for bikers, for example, who can charge their lights through the USB port on their work PC. As with battery-operated lights, remember not to run out of battery power when visibility is poor. Battery-powered bike lights are often removable, of course, and can also be charged via an external power source, such as a dynamo charger.

Bicycle lights with magnet charging

In this category of magnetic lights, the Danish brand Reelight is the leading specialist. Reelight induction lights work effectively via magnets that are placed on the spokes of the wheels. When the wheel turns, the magnets pass in front of a power pack and create an electric current by magnetism. Ecological, functional and easy to use, this bicycle lighting system is possible at the front as well as at the rear. Reelight offers a version of its lights with a capacitor, so that the light continues to illuminate the cyclist when stationary.

Battery-powered rechargeable electric bicycle lights

Some bike lights are specially designed to fit EABs, electric-assisted bikes. These lights for EABs are powered by the battery of the electric bicycle. This is the case, for example, of the lights for e-bike Busch and Muller.

Electric bicycle front lights

The front bike lights specially designed for VAE are plugged into batteries from 6 to 42 volts. Please note that it is preferable to choose batteries from major brands such as Bosch or Shimano because Chinese made batteries can play on the proper functioning of the light. These lights are powerful with 40, 50 or 80 Lux. The Busch and Muller front bike lights feature IQ-Tec technology (IQ, IQ2 and IQ Premium) which reduces the loss of visibility thanks to a prism that widens the LED light beam on the sides.

The VAE tail lights

The Busch and Muller rear bike lights are connected to 5 - 15 V DC EVA batteries. Thanks to LEDs and Linetec technology, they provide high visibility because the light is dispersed in a light strip. To be installed on luggage racks or mudguards.
