Proviz Sports has launched a new collection of five bike lights, the LED360 collection.
The Proviz LED360 bike light collection uses high lumen LED technology designed to ensure the “perfect balance of brightness and energy consumption”. The lights also have integrated optical technology which is a unique design for light to pass through the optical lens giving an “optimal balance of reflection and refraction to transmit a more effective light beam”. The lights use Samsung technology which gives the battery life 2600 mAh, 600 times longer the average bike light.
Anthony Langly-Smith, co-founder of Proviz, said: “As market leaders of reflective clothing, we’re excited to bring high-quality bike lights to the market to help make cyclists as visible as possible. Ensuring our products are simple and easy to use was key, and each set of lights are ideal for all types of cyclist – from commuters to evening roadsters or off-road riders.”
He added: “We named these lights after the brightest stars in the galaxy which we think is appropriate for how bright these lights are!”
The LED360 Sirius front bike light is designed to give high performance for use on and off-road. It has a maximum output of 600 lumens and five different lighting modes. Samsung Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries give this light up to seven hours of battery life, weighs 186g and has an RRP of £44.99.
The LED360 Capella front bike light has an embedded bracket that allows the light to quickly be removed to replace a chain in the hills.
