Front and rear bike lights Black Friday: deals

Two lights that work together

A matching set eliminates the need to juggle between two chargers and two mounting systems. Some go further: the NiteRider Lumina Pro and Omega benefit from NiteLink wireless connectivity, turning both lights on and off with one action, while the duo Cateye Sync Core and Sync Kinetic can be controlled from an app. When riding without thinking about it, this is the main advantage of a duo compared to two lights from different brands.

Choosing the set based on your routes

In the city, a compact duo is enough to signal your presence: the Knog Plus or Frog can be mounted in seconds and removed when the bike is left outside. On a road without street lights, you need a headlight of several hundred lumens, like the Lumina Micro 650 or 900 from NiteRider, paired with the Vmax+. According to the rules, service-public.gouv.fr requires a yellow or white position light at the front, which does not dazzle, a fixed red light at the back, and reflectors, white at the front and red at the back, during the night or when visibility is poor. To differentiate between two discounted duos, check the power of each light, the charging mode, USB-C cable or integrated plug, and the included mounts: an attractive discounted price on a pack with a small light is not equivalent to one designed for the road.

Matching lighting brands

Moon pairs its Meteor-X Auto Pro headlight with two rear lights of your choice, the Arcturus or the Comet-X, and also sells a complete set of the Comet-X Pro, the Orion, and the Merak C1.

NiteRider covers the road with its Lumina Micro and Swift 300 combos accompanied by the Vmax+, and adds the Lumina Pro and Omega with synchronous lighting.

Cateye combines the Sync Core and Sync Kinetic in one box: one press turns both on, and the rear light increases its intensity as soon as the bike slows down.

Knog mounts its Plus lights on a magnetic base; when detached, they can be clipped to a bag or piece of clothing, and are recharged via an integrated USB port, without a cable.

Related pages for the operation

If one of your lights is still working, there's no need to buy the pair: the front lights and the rear lights from the Black Friday are sold separately. The Black Friday bike lighting groups everything together, and the page bike lighting details the selection criteria all year round. The sets removed from the catalog end up at clearance; the newest appear in the new arrivals.

Frequently asked questions

What colours for front and rear lights?

White or yellow at the front, without dazzling, and red at the back. The reflectors follow the same logic, white at the front and red at the back, with orange on the wheels and pedals.

Can you turn on both lights in one action?

Yes, with a set designed for that, such as the NiteRider duos equipped with NiteLink or the Sync range from Cateye. The others are operated light by light, each with its button.

Is a city duo enough on a country road?

To be seen, yes; to see, rarely. Small city lights signal your presence but do not illuminate the road sufficiently without street lights: choose a set with a proper headlight instead.

How long do discounts on lighting sets last?

The Black Friday refers to the Friday after Thanksgiving, the peak of the event. At Vélo-Store, discounts on front and rear duos continue beyond this day and span the entire month of November.

Can you carry a light on you?

A second rear light, optional, can be worn by the cyclist, as noted by service-public.gouv.fr. This is the use of clip-on lights, attached to a bag or jacket, in addition to those on the bike.
