I love these things! I got them as a gift about a year ago, and they are still going strong. I got two pink strands, and installation was pretty simple. I bike at night at least once a week, for at least 15 minutes, and my lights are still doing great with the original batteries I added. They are VERY bright at night and give me visibility on poorly lit small-town streets, which is exactly why I wanted them. It makes me way more visible than my headlight and taillight ever did. I loved them so much, I bought them in green for a friend of mine, for her birthday.

I live in SoCal, so not a ton of rain, but we actually had a pretty wet winter this past year and my bike sat out in the rain more than a few times, with no appreciable impact on the lights.

As an added bonus, they look super cool, and I almost feel like I'm riding a TRON Lightcycle when I'm cruising in these...plus I get compliments all the time! People walking past are always shouting "cool wheels!" I've also had several people roll down their car windows to yell "I like your bike lights!" or something similar as they drive past. While it always scares me a little at first, I appreciate that people are so overwhelmed by my awesome wheel lights that they want to share. WAY preferable to the obnoxious catcalls I get during the day.

TL;DR--love them, would buy again.

This is so amazing. Seriously.

Well, the manual was scary to my first sight with so many steps listed with pictures and words. It turned out, however, to be just carefully and smoothly illustrated. I found the mounting process pretty much an enjoyment itself, though it did take me some time as I am a novice.

Please have a look at my pictures. Highly recommended!

They were easy to install and look great! I'll be riding my bike through the festival grounds at an off-the-grid music and art festival. The lights will make it easy for me to see at night and will add to the festival atmosphere :D I installed them on 700c wheels and there was extra after going all around, so I attached the extra along a spoke towards the middle of the wheel. This makes there be two more rings of light when the wheel spins.

When I first ordered this, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I was under the false impression that this light string was held into place either solely by zip-ties or somehow using the tension of the spokes. This had me worried, as I bought it for my fat-bike, which has about a 1" gap in between the spokes. I expected to have to zip-tie the cord to every other spoke or something. Well, I was wrong. I only used one zip-tie and the rest just sort of... works. The string of lights has a much sturdier, heavy-duty tubing than I expected, so once you get them in between the spokes and complete the circle, the outward tension caused by the tube itself, holds the lights against the rim. These lights aren't quite as bright as I was expecting but they are definitely bright. I just expected them to reflect off of the street more than they do.

Now, I own a fat bike with red rims, so that alone turns heads but these lights at night turn even more heads. On my first ride after installing them, I received my first compliment almost immediately, from the first person on foot that I rode by. I live in a developing suburban area, where there aren't many street lights, which makes these look even more cool.

The only reason why I gave this product 4-stars instead of 5 is because I feel like you shouldn't have to completely remove the power box from the rim in order to change the batteries. Still a great product, though!

After reading may reviews saying this product was a knock off, I can honestly say that the lights I purchased from this seller, (chubby's cruisers) is in fact the real deal. I am very satisfied with my purchase, and love how my bike is now an attention-grabbing head-turner. I will admit, I was a little skeptical about cutting the tube and wires to size with a pair of scissors for sizing, but it did in fact work well. My only issue, which is nothing that the product can change is that I had a difficult time fitting the battery box into a good space on my narrower rear wheel. However with a bit of finger yoga I was able to make it all work.
