*The maximum score is 100 points

The highly rated rear light from VELMIA receives an average of 4.5 stars from satisfied customers on Amazon. In particular, the extraordinary brightness and long-lasting performance are praised. The ability to clip the light on and off around the seat post without removing the main attachment is seen as extremely practical and emphasized as a must-have for every clip-on light. The modern, elongated design enables both horizontal and vertical use. The daylight detection and automatic regulation of brightness by one or two LED lights is rated as outstandingly positive, as is the brake light function. The USB charging of the light is perceived as convenient. However, some customers complain about a slight delay and imprecise operation of the brake light due to the built-in sensor. This is cited as a minor flaw, as it only becomes active at a certain speed and with a noticeable delay.

Prices of up to €31.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €17.99 . The StopTech rear light from VELMIA is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €27.99. The price-performance ratio is reasonable for the quality and performance received.
