Bike lights LED save power while emitting the same amount of light

A 40 watts standard light bulb can be replaced with a high power 4 watt LED bulb that is able to emit the same light output. This makes a strong case for using bike lights LED during the night.

There are many benefits of using bike lights LED over standard light bulbs. The power consumption of bike lights LED is only 10% of that of the standard light bulb. The bike lights LED can withstand great amount of vibration, shock as well as temperature variations. Thus they are highly useful when you are riding over rough terrains.

The bike lights LED are 10-60 times more energy efficient than incandescent light bulbs. This makes them highly cost efficient. Incandescent light bulbs tend to produce light that flickers whereas bike lights LED produces flicker free light. The bike lights LED can produce many rich and vibrant colors as compared to incandescent light bulbs. Thus you can choose the color that you want for your bike lights LED.

As per the Clean Energy Act of 2007 incandescent bulbs producing 310 – 2600 lumens of light are banned. This does not include light bulbs using less than 40 watts or more than 150 watts of energy. Australia and New Zealand are considering banning the use of incandescent bulbs in their country. Canada plans to ban use of incandescent bulbs by 2012. The European Union has proposed a ban on the production of the incandescent light bulbs. The Government of India is considering a similar measure to ban production and use of incandescent light bulbs.

The bike lights LED are perfect for 24-hour races, night rides, as well as for lighting the way for children. The bike lights LED use a 12 watt metal halide high intensity discharge bulb (HID). These emit the equivalent of 50 watt halogen systems for up to six hours. A high-capacity 12 V NiMh enduro flat pack battery in 10 watt mode will give up to six hours of light, while in 12 watt mode it can give five hours of light.

The bike lights LED last when you need them most. This is especially important for those parents of a child who have a tendency to ride after dark. The bike lights LED will adequately protect all those who are up early for their training for the next race. As many people are dedicated to the sport of cycling, they count on bike lights LED to light their way each morning.
