LICHTMEISTER®
Rear light with brake light

The Lichtmeister rear light with brake light offers an advanced solution for cyclists who want to maximise their safety in road traffic. With its brake light function, the rear light reacts to braking movements and clearly signals these to following road users. This ensures greater safety and significantly reduces the risk of rear-end collisions. The tail light also impresses with its integrated reflector, which improves visibility at dusk and at night. Even in bad weather, the light remains reliably ready for use as it is splash-proof. The integrated 300 mAh rechargeable battery provides a runtime of up to five hours, which is a particular advantage on longer tours. The only drawback in the test was the lack of specific sustainability information on the materials used.

  • Brake light function for more safety
  • Integrated reflector for better visibility
  • Battery with up to five hours of runtime
  • Splash-proof and StVZO-compliant
  • No sustainability information

Packaging and contents

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

On first contact with the Lichtmeister rear light with brake light, the appealing design of the product is striking. The workmanship is of high quality, which is particularly evident in the stability and slip resistance. The housing of the light appears robust, which suggests a long service life even with intensive use or journeys on uneven roads. However, there is no specific information on the sustainability of the materials used, which could be a point of criticism for environmentally conscious consumers. Overall, however, the rear light leaves a very positive impression in terms of build quality and design.

*Themaximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.7 stars. In some cases, the fact that the rear light does not offer a daytime option, in which only the brake light is active without the continuous lighting, is criticised. On the other hand, the good visibility and the brake light function in general are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the Lichtmeister rear light with its brake light function is well received by customers. Consumer criticism of the lack of a daytime running light version can be interpreted more as a suggestion for improvement.

Prices of up to €28 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Cheaper products are available from €13.89 . The Lichtmeister rear light with brake light function is therefore currently in the favourable price segment with a price of €14.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
