Front and rear lighting kits

The bike light kit is a kit that allows you to have a front light and a back light or even lights that can be hung on your collar, your bag or even your socks. The bike light kit can therefore be used in a variety of ways depending on the equipment already on your bike and your need.

What are the mandatory bike lights?

When you travel by bicycle, several obligations must be respected such as the Highway Code of course, but there is also equipment that will be mandatory. This is particularly the case for the bicycle helmet for children under 12 years of age, the high visibility waistcoat at night or when visibility is not sufficient outside built-up areas, reflectors, bell and lights.

In fact, some lighting is compulsory on a bicycle in order to be used at night or when visibility is not sufficient. It will then be necessary to have a position light emitting a non-dazzling yellow or white light towards the front and a rear position light which must be clearly visible from the rear when the bicycle is in use. These lights can be used in the city and are parts that will help to increase the brightness. You can find these bike accessories at all prices and with different colours like black for example.

What to use the bike light kit for?

The bike light kit can be used in a variety of ways. It is a kit with several lights. They will be able to be used at the front for white coloured lights and at the back for red coloured lights in order to comply with the regulations in force.

Our Knog front and rear bike light kit can therefore be used in this sense. The extra light and waterproof lights can be attached to the handlebars for the front and under the saddle for the rear for example. They can be recharged via USB and have a battery life of 20 hours for the front lamp and 40 hours for the rear lamp. This light kit can also be used to be more visible when cycling by clipping one of the lights to your backpack, collar or even your socks for example. A bike light kit can therefore be used as a compulsory light or to complement it according to one's needs.

How to be visible on the road?

Lighting can be used for both seeing and being seen and is a great help when cycling. It is possible to be even more visible by opting for reflective clothing for example. Waterproof, our La Pop fluorescent jacket from Urban Circus will be ideal for protecting yourself from the rain while remaining highly visible. In mid-season and when the weather is cool, our Gofluo Reflective Reversible Down Jacket is what you'll need in order to stay warm while being clearly visible.

What's more, you also have the option of spoke reflectors to add to your bike's wheels or use reflective spray to be easily seen when cycling.
