Front lights: illuminating the road
A front light helps cyclists see the road while also making them visible to other road users. WEST BIKING offers options with light outputs of 800 lm and 1,000 lm.
A higher output can be useful on unlit roads or more demanding terrain. Lumens alone, however, do not tell the whole story: the beam pattern also affects how well a light illuminates the route. When choosing a light, consider whether you mainly ride on lit streets or also use dark roads and trails.
Rear lights: visibility and brake indication
A rear light has a different job from a front light: rather than illuminating the road ahead, it helps others see the cyclist from behind. WEST BIKING offers simple rear lights, models with brake indicators and color variants.
A brake indicator signals that the cyclist is slowing down. It may help people behind the bike react in time, for example when the rider stops in city traffic. It is not a substitute for other road users paying attention or for riding defensively.
Color variants offer more choice in the appearance of your equipment. Before choosing one, check what the color designation means for the specific product and whether the light is suitable for your intended use on the road.
IPX6 water resistance and tool-free mounting
According to its listed specifications, one of the simple rear lights has an IPX6 water-resistance rating, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets. This is useful when riding in the rain, but it does not mean the light is protected against immersion or guaranteed to work in every weather condition.
The light can be mounted without tools on the seatpost or under the saddle. Quick mounting makes it easier to remove or move to another bike. When installing it, make sure it is securely attached and clearly visible from behind.
Choosing a combination of lights
When riding in low visibility, front and rear lights have different but complementary roles. For the front light, consider the conditions on your route and the beam pattern. For the rear light, consider how it mounts, its resistance to water and whether a brake indicator would be useful. Check the specifications of the individual product before buying.
