The rear light has a bracket at the back of the light, to be mounted on the seat post under the saddle. The front light has a 2-function mode – steady and flash, while the rear light has a 4-function mode – steady, and three kinds of flash modes.

In terms of mounting them onto a bicycle, the front light has a bracket at the base which enables it to be mounted on the handlebar, and the light can be detached easily when not in use. The rear light has a bracket at the back of the light, to be mounted on the seat post under the saddle, and this light, too, can be detached easily when not in use.
