Overall good product
Overall we are very happy with these. They were easy to attach to our two preteens’ bikes and easy for them to turn on and off. The elastic strap makes it versatile so that you could easily attach these to other things, like backpack handles, around your arm or ankle if you’re walking at twilight, to a dog harness, etc. They definitely make a difference in visibility when it’s dim or dark out as they shine very brightly. I feel they help my kids ride to school more safely since they have to leave the house before sunrise during fall and winter. (In addition to other measures like reflective gear and road safety skills, of course.)It’s great that these lights are water resistant, as our kids have had their bikes rained on a couple of times so far without issue to the lights. And having the option to keep the lights steady or blinking (at a choice of two different speeds) is convenient. The clip feels tight/sturdy so I don’t worry about it falling off of the strap either.It was also nice that each box of four lights comes with batteries installed AND with replacement batteries, as well as a mini screw driver to get to the battery compartment. Each box also comes with an Amazon coupon code to use towards your next purchase of their products. Nice customer service, in my opinion!Size wise they are about the width and height of a standard pink eraser, but thicker. As safety lights they seemed a little small to me when I first pulled them out of the box, but now I think they’re the perfect size. They’re small enough to fit on a bike seat post or handlebars without getting in the way, which is convenient, and still bright enough despite that small size that they don’t need to be any bigger.We first ordered a box of white and it was perfect. Later we decided to order a box of red so our kids could have a white light in front and a red light in back (instead of white on both front and back).This is where the rating loses a star. Had we only experienced the white box it would have been 5 stars hands down, but the red box came with some minor problems.One light had clearly been turned on at some point, possibly by accident, so the installed battery was nearly dead (it would turn on, but was so dim you couldn’t tell it was on unless you clicked through to the blinking settings). Not a huge deal since it comes with extra batteries, but still disappointing.I may not have knocked off a whole star just for that, but the kicker was that a different light from the same red box was missing an axel/a pin at the joint to keep the clip in place. The light functions fine, but unless we find a different metal pin to use in its place there’s no way to use the clip to attach it to anything. Without a pin, it’ll have to be jury-rigged into a useful form, such as threading string through the joint holes as a necklace, or taping it to something, or so on.Between the two disappointments in the same box I had to drop a star… because had that been the only or initial box I received I would have been put off from ordering anything more from them.It’s fortunate that that wasn’t my first experience with them though, because as I said at the beginning, overall we are very happy with this product. If we ever needed to get more lights or were going to recommend safety lights to someone, we would still order and recommend these. But hopefully the company is more careful with quality control going forward.Finally, I would like to recommend to the company a small change to the elastic strap to better improve the product. One side of the elastic strap is the soft part of Velcro for its whole length and only on the end of the strap is there the scratchy part of Velcro. I think it would be useful to have the scratchy part on both ends of the strap instead of just on one end. That way when the elastic is wrapped around something, the first point that it overlaps has a bit of added security in addition to the very end to finish the wrap. As it is, sometimes the tail without the scratchy Velcro slips out from underneath and dangles.In our case we’ve wrapped the bike post enough times that it can still keep the light securely in place even if the starting end of the elastic slips out. But I’d imagine it’d feel less secure when wrapped around something larger (perhaps like a bicep) because it won’t wrap around as many layers as it does on a narrow pole. Might be fine for a walker with it on their arm but I wonder if a runner would find it bothersome?In other words, it’s functional as is but I recommend this change. Just my two cents!

Perfect for Stroller Walks
Safety Lights on our baby stroller during evening walks, and they’re fantastic. The lights are bright enough to make us visible to others, lightweight, and super easy to attach. They give us peace of mind while out and about. A simple but effective product

Bright and visible, but don't expect them to be waterproof
I ordered a package of four; they all work out of the box and are very bright. The advertising says 'waterproof'; the box says 'water resistant'. 'Water Resistant' is probably the truth; these are mechanically exactly the same as several other brands that I have owned, and those were sometimes damaged by water getting into them. If these were waterproof we should see something like 'IPX7', which is an actual test standard. Here the 7 means 'immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes'.

Great lights for early morning runs
These lights are great! I clip a couple of them on before I head out for a run in the dark, and I never have to worry about people not seeing me.

Good running shoe
I really like the wide toe box and the low heel figuration. Shoes are very comfortable and easy to run in.
