Best little lights with decent beam I've found yet!

- Koen, 13 December, 2023

I regularly order these lights from Mantel. Not because they break but because my slobs lose them despite being easy to store. Time and again, this bundle is the cheapest at Mantel. If the kids don't lose them anyway, the battery lasts a long time :-)

Pros & Cons

Different light modes
Easy to mount
Small
Strong beam
Rear light attachment is with a loose rubber

Very good value for money!

- Ronja, 20 July, 2022

I already had a previous model from Lezyne and went back to the brand because I was very satisfied with both the practical attachment and the light intensity and functionality. The successor model is now even more powerful and has a longer battery life. Would recommend it at any time!

Pros & Cons

Brightness
easy to charge via USB
easy to mount
Optics
Settings especially flashing for road traffic

Top set for commuting

- Siep, 8 November, 2021

Good lighting set. The lights both feel very solid and are easy to mount with the supplied rubber bands. The 500 lumen front light is more than enough for racing. During my commute to work, I ride through the woods and there I can see enough with lamp in the brightest position (500 lumens), the rest of the ride over (poorly) lit cycle paths, the second position (200 lumens) is more than enough. The rear light also has two modes, each of which is more than bright enough to be seen. The only drawback, in my opinion, is the battery life of the front light. In the brightest setting, the front light lasts for 1 hour, while in the second setting it lasts for 2 hours. For my commuter rides, this is enough but should I want to cycle quite a bit in the evening, this is a bit on the short side.

Pros & Cons

Bright front and rear light
Enough visibility on dark and unlit roads
Even light in dark woods
Battery life of front light is rather short

Top light

- A., 26 January, 2021

Ideal set. The range and battery life is better than I thought. I use it on my touring bike, city bike and yes, even with the kids on the cargo bike! One small minus is the mounting bracket for the rear light, I am bound to lose it when (dis)assembling it.

Perfect lighting set that fits my aero handlebars

- Djoek, 9 January, 2021

For my new Canyon with aero handlebars (CP10), I was looking for a lighting set at a reasonable price. It was a bit of a gamble but the Hecto Drive 500 XL fits the handlebars exactly. The lighting works properly, I use it on usually poorly lit roads in Denmark around sunset.

Pros & Cons

Fits Canyon aero handlebars
Price
Strong enough for poorly lit roads

Simple and good

- Bart-Jan, 22 November, 2020

Bright light or slightly less bright and longer on a battery charge. Just charge in your computer's usb port. Assembly and disassembly is easy and fits in your pocket!

Very good visibility

- Fréderic, 14 October, 2020

Brightness is very good from both front and rear lights. Definitely enough modes, but not too many either. Battery strength of the rear light is definitely sufficient for several days of commuting. Battery strength of the front light is a little less, but then again that depends on the brightness you choose. All in all, more than sufficient for commuting. Robust housing and fully weatherproof.

Pros & Cons

Brightness
Housing quality
Rechargeable
Front light quickly empty on strongest mode

Nice set, lots of light!

- E.N., 28 September, 2020

Here and there I read that the front light gave too little light. I don't notice any of that. Even on the not brightest setting, there is more than enough light in the dark. The different modes in terms of how it flashes or lights up are nice. Only downside is that no charging cable is included. So you either have to have a usb plug already, or plug it into your PC. Otherwise top!

Pros & Cons

easy assembly
Lots of light
many settings/possibilities
solid stuff
no cable (charging)
