Thought I needed something to make me more visible on the commute.

These have got to be the best £5 you can spend! 😀

I like stuff like this, but the problem is that they take those annoying odd-sized batteries. i've decided if somethings not rechargeable or AA/AAA i won't buy it

Hi,

I have tried various versions of these lights over the years. They are good when working but rarely last more than a months riding before they die.

Cateye are bringing out a spokelight in December which might be a bit more durable. Thought it is about £20.

Regards

Both types of valve yes.

I dont doubt they wont last that long. But at under £5 (you can get them for less than £3) just get more! Same with the batteries. Not worth buying 6 replacements when you can just buy more lights. Not great for the environment but.....

The color of blue has the feeling of mysterious, unbelievable, introverted, cool, calm and snob.

From that anvii website.......
