Cycle Lights

(152 products)

Front and rear cycle lights for commuting, early-morning training and night rides, with most modern lights USB-C rechargeable and many offering daytime running modes. If you ride early mornings or after work in Indian traffic, a good tail light is the most cost-effective safety equipment you will ever buy.

Being seen versus seeing

These are two different jobs and need different lights. To be seen on lit city roads, 200 to 400 lumens at the front and any decent tail light is enough. To see the road surface on unlit stretches, such as early-morning rides out of the city, you want 800 lumens or more, and genuinely dark roads and trails call for 1000 lumens or more with a shaped beam that does not dazzle oncoming traffic.

Tail lights

A compact USB rechargeable tail light covers most riding. Step up to a larger unit for brighter output and longer runtime on long rides and brevets, and look for brake sensing, which brightens the light as you slow down, and wide side visibility for junctions. A flashing mode works best in daylight, while a steady or pulse mode is kinder to riders behind you at night.

Run your lights in daylight

A flashing daytime tail light is the highest-value change most riders here can make. Drivers register a pulsing light long before they register a bicycle, and many modern tail lights have a dedicated daytime mode. On group rides it also helps the riders behind you hold a wheel.

Mounting

Some front lights mount underneath an out-front computer mount, which keeps your handlebar clear and drops the beam lower for a cleaner spread on the road. Traditional bar-mounted lights are simpler and swap between bikes in seconds, which is worth considering if you have more than one.

Charging

Most modern bike lights are USB-C rechargeable. Some models still take replaceable batteries, which suits touring and brevets where charging is unpredictable. Each product page states which, along with runtime for each mode.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many lumens do I need for a bike light?

To be seen on lit city roads, 200 to 400 lumens is enough. To actually see the road on unlit stretches, you want 800 lumens or more, which suits early-morning rides outside the city. Genuinely dark roads and trails call for 1000 lumens or more, ideally with a shaped beam that lights the road without dazzling oncoming traffic.

Should I run lights during the day?

Yes. A flashing daytime tail light is the single most effective safety upgrade you can make on Indian roads, and many modern tail lights have a dedicated daytime mode. Drivers notice a pulsing light far earlier than they notice a rider, and on group rides a rear light also helps the riders behind you hold a wheel.

What is the difference between an underneath-mounted and bar-mounted light?

Underneath-mounted lights clamp below an out-front computer mount, which keeps your bars clear and puts the beam lower for a cleaner spread on the road. Bar-mounted lights are simpler to fit and move between bikes more easily, which suits riders with more than one bike. Check that the light's mount matches your computer mount before buying.

Which tail light should I buy?

A compact USB rechargeable tail light with a bright daytime flash mode covers most riders. Step up to a larger unit if you want brake sensing, which brightens the light as you slow, or much longer runtime for brevets and long rides. Wide side visibility matters at junctions, and a secure seatpost mount stops the light drooping on rough roads.

Are these lights rechargeable?

Most modern bike lights are USB-C rechargeable, and the product page lists the runtime for each mode. A few models still run on replaceable batteries, which some riders prefer for touring and brevets where charging is unreliable. Whichever you choose, check the runtime on the mode you will actually use rather than the longest figure quoted.
