With little over a week before the clocks go back, it’s time to check your lights are up to the job ahead.
The advent of LED technology has revolutionised cycle lighting. Cheap, robust and bright, the lights are being used in ever-more creative ways. LEDs can now be found incorporated into gloves, jackets and now embedded into bicycle wheel rims.
Bicycle lights are brighter than ever before. The best value rear light we’ve come across this year is the Cree LED, which retails for a very reasonable £8 from the Wilkinson website. If you team two of these rear lights, you get an effect comparable with set-ups costing ten times as much. Don’t believe us, enter our giveaway below and you might get the chance to try them yourself.
Bicycle lights to win
We have five sets of Cree lights to give away. In order to enter the draw, simply leave us a message at the bottom of this page.

Bob
nice lights
John COLLIER
I am a somewhat nervous rider who has to traverse some mile and a half to my nearest superstore and the thought of winter nights approaching fills me with trepidation. A well-lit backside would certainly improve my confidence.
Andrew Harmsworth

These would look sweet on my 6yr old daughter’s bike! Thanks for the chance ETA!
Jonathan Hunt
Honesty, I have great lights already. But if I won these I’d carry them on my person and give them to the next cyclist I see riding without lights in the dark. I’d far rather see them not become a statistic than I would judge them.
James
Sounds a lovely item
Steve
Due to some LIGHT fingered individual, I would much appreciate this please.
Sarah Brooks
Light of my life! (Just had my bike stolen so trying to recoup all the bits I need for a new one… grrrrr!!)

For to see my bike, is to stay alive,
So please, kind ETA, give me a light.

Steve Brewer
Lights that are light on the pocket – enough to make a fellow light hearted!!!
Rafael Gonzalez
My daughter has lost last three I’ve bought for her. May those ones last longer cos the symbolism?
The next Lance
It is great to read someone endorsing budget equipment for a change, instead of the usual ‘the more you pay the more you get’ brigade on cycling websites, who preach that anything other than the latest very expensive gear is rubbish.
Adam KR
Do you have a similar recommendation for front lights? We’d love to hear.
Mike Smith
More Lumens please, pretty please.
Charles Harper
For my son on his ride to school… please… thank you
