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.

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 .
