Firefox is an Indian performance bicycle brand with a wide range of bicycles and accessories for the bicycle and the rider. The majority of their bicycles and accessories are urban specific and are built for comfort. We got an opportunity to review the Rear LED Light from Firefox and here’s what we think.
The Firefox Rear LED light is one of Firefox’s fast moving safety lights. Equipped with 4 high intensity Red LEDs, the light emits a clear, bright red beam of light that makes the rider visible and easy to be spotted on urban city roads, and also in dark streets and alleys. With 4 different modes including a flashing mode, a steady mode and a pulsing mode, there are a variety of options for the rider to choose form. The 2 AAA batteries that power the light give it a running time of around 30 hours for one set of batteries.
The Firefox Rear LED light features a sleek, slim and rounded plastic body that encases the 4 super bright Red LEDs that emit their beam through a transparent red cover, making it bright, and at the same time, not blinding to riders riding closely behind. The light is operated using 2 AAA batteries that come included in the box. The battery slot is situated on the underside of the light, and is sealed by a tight, secure plastic lid to avoid dust and water from seeping through.
Switching the light ON/OFF and toggling between modes is operated by the soft rubber button placed on the head of the light. The light is mounted on the seat post using a plastic bracket with a rubber shiv that is securely fastened to the seat post using a screw. This ensures that the light does not slide down while riding, and makes it easy to fit the light in an optimal position for the highest visibility.
Overall Rating
At a price tag of Rs.580 (as on 19th February 2019), this is probably the best light available at this budget. The Firefox Rear LED Light is an inexpensive and handy option for the everyday city commuter riding in traffic and urban roads. Since this is a battery operated version and not USB chargeable, the batteries will have to be replaced once every month.
