About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

VELMIA
Safety light

The safety light from VELMIA is a versatile and compact product that significantly improves visibility in low light conditions and therefore increases safety.
An outstanding feature is the impressive range of up to 300 meters. This provides a reliable way to be clearly visible at dusk and in the dark.
The compact design and easy handling allow it to be used in almost any location. The safety light can be used in a variety of ways, whether on a walk, for dogs, on a school bag or on a baby carriage.
Another useful feature of the safety light is the “anti-break system”. This clip for attaching the light is extremely durable and prevents the light from easily breaking off or getting lost. This contributes to long-term use and the avoidance of unnecessary waste.
In addition, the light is characterized by the “memory effect” and six different settings. The “memory effect” remembers the last light mode used and activates it the next time it is switched on. This eliminates the annoying need to click through the various modes every time you use the light.
In our practical test, the safety light from VELMIA impressed us with its high visibility, user-friendliness and durable design. It offers a clever solution for greater safety on the road in poor lighting conditions.

The sustainable approach is particularly noteworthy. The packaging is precisely matched to the contents, so that unnecessary packaging waste is avoided .

The safety light from VELMIA impresses with its compact and attractive design. The light presents itself in a visually perfect condition.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points

The visibility of the safety light from VELMIA is impressive. It is very bright and offers a wide range of flashing lights with its six different modes.
Versatility is also guaranteed thanks to the Velcro strap supplied. This allows the light to be attached in different places.
It is also waterproof so that it can be used in any weather. Another advantage is its low weight.
Thanks to the clip system and the well adhering Velcro tape, mounting and attaching the safety light is simple and effective. However, the test showed that the light cannot withstand strong vibrations, which could be a point for improvement.
However, the battery life of approx. 4 days is pleasing. This allows a long period of use before the batteries need to be changed.
The selection of five different colors offers customers a choice and allows them to adapt the light to their own style or preferred color aesthetic.
Overall, the VELMIA safety light meets expectations in terms of visibility, usability and battery life. However, the manufacturer could further improve the durability of the product to make it even more resistant .

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars.
Customers particularly praise the versatility and innovative design of the product.
The Velcro strap supplied, which makes it easy to attach to various places, is often highlighted as a positive feature.
Particular emphasis is placed on safety when jogging or walking with a baby carriage and that the light ensures good visibility without dazzling others.
The different modes of the flashing light also attract attention.
In addition to the positive feedback, there are also some critical voices. Some customers find the light too bright.
Others criticize the attachment, especially on the dog harness, as the light has come loose several times, which raises doubts about its durability.
In our practical test , we were able to confirm the versatile usability and good visibility. Nevertheless, potential buyers should consider the different opinions regarding the luminosity and attachment options in order to make the right purchase decision for themselves.

Prices of up to around €20 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from around €9 . The VELMIA brand safety light is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €13.99. The price-performance ratio is reasonable for the quality and performance received.
