Bike wheel lights are attention-grabbing devices designed to add visibility to a bicycle during hours of darkness while elevating its personality from ordinary to extraordinary. There aren’t many bike accessories you can buy that can completely overhaul the look of your bike and boost the safety factor at the same time the way the wheel lights can.

Just like signal lighting is a major component of the safety equipment on automotive vehicles, circles of spinning light produced by a riding bike are exceptionally visible in the dark and thus greatly enhance road safety. This type of lighting is also meant to blast the night and break the monotony of the space. It adds a new dimension to bike styling that makes the bike look attractive and turns heads as easily as corners. Bike wheel lights let you ride with confidence at all hours of the poor-visibility conditions!

Bike wheel lights are also called spoke lights because they’re mounted onto the spokes of a bike. They take form of either a single luminaire that clips to one of the spokes of a wheel or a string of lights that individually attach to each spoke. Due to persistence of vision, spoke lights can create a continuous, moving circle of light as the wheels rotate. The transition to LED technology makes it possible the wheel-mounted lights to create a vast array of visual effects that vary in color and pattern while significantly extending the running time as a result of the dramatically improved source efficiency.

LEDs are semiconductor emitters which can be engineered in terms of spectral power distribution (SPD) to produce visible light in virtually any color desired directly from the source. An LED spoke light therefore can be designed to emit light having a single color with monochromatic light sources or to emit light of different colors using a mix of LEDs with different SPDs. A multi-color LED spoke light can create a visually intriguing illusion of color that can effortlessly attract attention and admiration.

LED spoke lights run off battery power which typically provides a sufficient length of running time for a stress-free ride. The battery pack is either integrated into the spoke light or designed as a self-contained package and mounted remotely (e.g., to the wheel hub). All spoke lights should come with a high watertight integrity and high resistance to repeated vibrations.
