Most satisfying thing is when you finally find out how to change out the batteries 👍😂 Thank you.

Thank you! The head light button/strap disguise stumped me for hours! Bell documents are silent to this. I couldn't have guessed without your video.

Pretty dumb that the packaging only tells us how to install batteries in the tail light, which is arguably the easiest to figure out. I'm glad he made this video, otherwise I probably would have gotten pretty frustrated.

Thank you so much for pointing out the button location for the head light. Sleek design, but difficult to remember.

Excellent Review!!!! I can confirm this Bell light set is "decent" as I've commuted a lot of nights with this light in the past. I like to run two of them on each side of the tops of my road style handlebars. I would mention a few things though. You are right. The gaskets tend to come unseated easily. Also, if you have excessive or ridiculously cushy bar tape (or huge diameter handlebars), the front light doesn't mount easily and the strap can eventually break from repeated excessive stretching (from removing and putting back on). I broke at least one such strap and was able to jury rig the light onto my handlebars with rubber bands. Also, the tail light has flown off on me several times when riding on dirt/gravel or hitting a nasty bump. You can temporarily fix this with Duct Tape but then you have to remove the tape when you change the batteries. Thank you for showing me the comparison between this light and the Bontrager. Should I be able to start commuting again, I "may" consider the Bontrager. All in all, however, this really is a pretty good Bell light and it's pretty cheap. I prefer the AA battery version and use rechargeable AA's.

Excellent video!!! One of the better videos I have seen, You speak clear, mention the important items and above all show how to put the strap in the tail light. I could not figure it out with the crappy direction on the box. I would suggest Bell to include your video on their website which by the way does not include this set or any other instructions. GREAT JOB! and thanks for helping others fellow bikers.

@14:24, I think they could use some black tape & cut off two thin strips to cover the upper part, where you say people complain about the light bothering them while driving their bike. This way, it'll block the light that reflects up towards the biker's eyes view.

The only thing id add is ALWAYS take your lights and accessories with you if you ride in town, or leave on campus.

Thanks for the video, very helpful. I just bought the rechargeable headlight set. Haven't used yet, but will give a try. Unfortunately the clip on the tail light strap broke right out of the package or was already broken or had a weak spot. So I'm not impressed that part breaks so easily. I'm trying to think if I can improvise, maybe with magnetic stick on tape or Velcro.

Thanks! I haven't had any problems with the straps yet, but I've been using the Bontrager lights more often. Its sounds like the strap you got had a defect.

Nice bike light, but the rubber mounting strap broke immediately and I had to use the one for the tail light on the headlight. That one did not break so far, but its only been one year. I am expecting it to fail.

Do you happen to know how to take off the clear plastic cover for the light? Mine got some water damage from the rain and I'm trying to get it all drained and fixed from the rust.

I should have done a better job explaining things in the last segment of this video. After recording the second to last segment I stopped recording and came back 24 hours later to finish up the video. During the time I stopped recording I got a chance to actually use the lights for a night ride. The Bell Lumina headlight light is more diffused than the Bontrager Ion 700 light at the same lumens. This is hard to notice when I shine the lights at the toolbox in the video. The Bell Lumina headlight does a good job lighting up the road in front of you at a distance appropriate for commuting at 1/3 the cost of a Bontrager Ion 700. I wouldn't recommend the Bell Lumina headlight for fast mountain bike trail riding at night, but it does a descent job for night time commuting. If you use the Bell Lumina lights on a daily basis I think the first failure you will experience is failure with the power/mode button, because turning the light off and than back to your favorite mode requires cycling the mechanical button through all the modes. The power/mode button on the Bell Lumina gets a lot of use unlike the more expensive lights that have a mode memory feature, but you should get your monies worth before you every experience any problems. For work I use a LED light that straps to your head for low light conditions, and the mechanical power/mode button or elastic straps are always the first thing to break.

Good question. I don't think I've used it in the rain, but I will try it next time it rains. Its probably water resistant but not water proof.

you just need to push the button at the base deep and pull the light extremely hard to dislodge it from the black enclosure. watch bicycle alley's video.

"Premium"... Lol. Bought this for my guest bike that I let friends use (a Fuji Roubaix). It's barely adequate at best. If you're serious about riding, spend $150-200 on a legitimate front and rear light. The difference is massive.

Its helpful but to much explaining bud just get right to the point and replace the batteries. I dont want to sit and listen to you for ten minutes about usage and facts about the fucking light especially if I just purchased one. Why are how to videos like this
