VELMIA
Bicycle light set

The VELMIA bike light set offers three variants with lux values from 70 to 100 and different rear lights. All are STVZO-compliant and offer German customer service. The lights are characterized by simple click mounting on the rubber bracket, adjustable brightness and USB charging without batteries.

The lights also have a powerful rechargeable battery that can be quickly and easily recharged via micro USB. The lighting time is up to 8.5 hours, ideal for night-time rides. The LED display shows the battery charge level and the adjustable light intensity of 15, 30 or 70 LUX, depending on the lighting conditions. The lighting is also waterproof in accordance with international IP protection class IPX4.

The Gold 70 Lux is an entry-level set, the Gold+ 70 Lux offers an improved rear light for maximum safety, and the Platinum 100 Lux is the high-end version with an even brighter front light and high-quality rear light.

Price/performance ratio

Total78 points
Weighting: 15%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars. The bracket is sometimes criticized for wobbling. Many customers like the luminosity and mounting. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the luminosity, mounting and much more make a very good impression.

Prices of up to €84.90 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €29.95 . The VELMIA bike light set is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €49.99 (platinum version, 100 lux). The price-performance ratio is reasonable for the quality and performance received.
