What is a bike safety light?

Technically every bike light is a safety light. However, some bike lights do not keep your safety in mind whatsoever. Cheap cycling lights provide little to no safety, they provide a false sense of safety, often leading to more accidents. A quick example; a cyclist with cheap lights believes all the cars see him or her but the light is not visible from more than 10 meters off. Far too little room for drivers to react to sudden situations. With a good bike safety light we mean lights that are made with your safety in mind. Cheap lights only think about your wallet! Safety doesn’t have a price, so please think about this when making your purchase. Whatever light you end up buying, it must have your safety in mind. This is what we mean with bicycle safety lights.
