Swift 500 and Vmax+ 150 Combo

Lumens measure the brightness of a light source. For bike lights, a higher lumen count means a brighter light, which enhances visibility and safety while cycling, especially in low-light conditions. Choosing a bike light with a higher lumen rating ensures you can see and be seen by others on the road.

USB rechargeable bike lights allow you to easily charge your lights using a computer, power bank, or wall adapter. This convenience means you won't have to worry about replacing batteries, making it easier to keep your lights ready for use whenever you need them.

An IP64 rating indicates that the bike light is completely dust-tight and can withstand water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions, ensuring that your bike light remains functional and reliable, even in rain or dusty environments.

COB (Chip-on-Board) LEDs consist of multiple LED chips mounted directly onto a circuit board, resulting in high brightness and efficiency. This technology allows for more compact designs while providing strong illumination, making COB LEDs ideal for safety lights like the Vmax+ 150, ensuring you have maximum visibility on your rides.

Mode memory is a feature that allows your bike light to remember the last setting or mode used when it was turned off. For instance, if you last used the light in a flashing mode, it will automatically return to that mode when you turn it back on. This feature provides convenience and consistency, allowing you to focus on your ride without having to adjust settings each time.

When selecting a bike light, consider where and when you will be riding. For urban areas with streetlights, a lower lumen count may suffice, while for dark trails or rural roads, opt for a higher lumen count for better visibility. Assess your typical riding conditions to find the right balance between brightness and battery life.
