In this video Jason from notJustBikes shows these lights and I really like the design. Do you know what is the company that makes these? Are they any good?

    They are from a company called Reelight. However one might add that they only blink once (when the magnet passes the light) for a very short moment! When going really fast that might be okay but when going slow or while standing one is hardly visible with those. I wouldn’t feel safe with these if I wasn’t riding on danish bike paths.

    There is another company called Magniclight which sells something similar but with very different working principle therefore providing constant light.

    However I do still ride with either hub dynamo or battery powered lights. Which give me constant light and even brake light indications.

      A little late but I wanted to chime in and say that reelight has a no-blink model that I use on 2 bikes.

      The light is enough for night visibility but not for navigation.

        didn’t knew about that - seems to be very similar to what Magniclight does. I like the concept!

      Thank you for all the precious hints!

      That was my plan exactly. I have a rear light with rechargeable batteries, but with no indication, I fear to be dark without noticing
