Customer Review
The tail light rocks. Very visible. Headlight I agree with the others it isn't that bright and eats batteries like candy. However I only use it when I need to ride home at night from work. Not really so I can see(I live in the city) but more so people see me. It is a good set but not if you are not in an area that is well lit.
Problem with installation - Noname -
I don't know why everyone thought the headlight is so dim. I think it's pretty good. So is the rear light, which has four different on/flashing modes. When my kids use these, they are pretty visible, which is what I want at dusk, even though they are on sidewalks. We've also used them at night and they are bright.
My only problem with these is the installation. My son has a 20 inch bike and my daughter has a 12 inch bike. The front and rear lights don't mount securely because the diameter of the mounts is larger than the diameter of the frames. I emailed Schwinn to ask for some more rubber inserts (they came with one for each mount) to make them fit and they told me to call up Pacific Cycle. The lady there told me Pacific Cycle bought up the company that made the lights so they have no replacement parts whatsoever. So, you will get no help from the company if you need any parts or if this doesn't fit your bike. I did a workaround by inserting some felt pieces I found around the house but I will have to look for something rubber, because felt has no grip.
Oh, and the circumference of the children's bike frames is 2 3/4".
poor headlight, great tail light - Bugman - Lewes, DE United States
The headlight is just terrible. You're wasting your money on that aspect. You cannot see the road at all, and it eats lots of batteries. I'm throwing mine away, after trying it for months. FAR better is to get a planetbike LED headlight - once you try the 1 watt "Blaze" light, you'd throw away your schwinn headlight as I am. BUT - this tail light is REALLY GREAT - especially like the 4 different LED modes, which other lights do not offer, and GREAT visibility fron all angles. A real shame that the tail light is not sold separately. At this price, just not worth the $ for a great tail light alone (you'll throw away the front light).
ADDENDUM 2/22/09
I now have the "Planet Bike Blinky "3" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light" as the tail light for everyone in my family - it is probably 10 times brighter than this schwinn tail light, can stay lit solid or blink, and comes with mounts that allow you to put it either on the seat post, or on the seat stay (as I have). Absolutely fantastic tail light - easily visible from 0.3 miles away. I'd definitely recommend that instead of this product.
