Bicycle Lights are an integral part of your daily commute and can mean the difference between being seen or not by motorists on the road.

The Niterider Mako 200 Front Light delivers a 200 Lumen power output. The Mako 200 has 3 different modes – High, Low and Flashing with Run Times of 15 hours, 28:30 hours and 60 hours respectively.

The TL 5.0 SL Tail Light from Niterider has a 10 Lumen power output. This Safety Light has 5 Ultra Bright RED LEDs which gives you a 210 degree of visibility, this is definitely a plus point to ensure you are seen by others in low light conditions.

This Tail Light is powered by 2 x Alkaline AAA batteries which provides a run time of up to 100 hours and the light weighs only 70 grams.
The Mako 200 and TL 5.0 SL Lights have a lightweight build and look stylish. Both the lights are IP64 water resistant which allows you to use these lights in the rain as well.

The TL 5.0 SL also has a rubber starp mount which securely fastens the light to standard seatposts easily, the Tail Light also has a clip at the back which allows you to clip this light either to your jersey pocket or onto a backpack or Saddle bag easily.
