Over all, a good product
I gave this product three stars because although it does what it says it does, and well, it has a rather big design flaw. This is at the two points that it connects to the spoke. The finger screws tighten down onto two plastic threaded prongs either side of the spoke which are integrated into the top half of the unit's body. It is extremely easy to over-tighten these screws by hand, which shears one or both prongs. I have remedied the problem with careful sawing/cutting into the unit body and have made good use of an unused standard British household plug! I removed the earth and neutral pins and sawed the hole ends to equal lengths. I then carefully superglued these two pieces, hole ends uppermost, into the sockets on the unit that I had created. The screws in the pins which would have originally held the electric wires in place now attach snugly to the spoke. There are two ways to attach the unit to the spoke. #1 Saw a slit big enough through the base of one side side of the pin in order for the spoke to slide through. #2 Unscrew the chosen spoke from its nipple, attach the Spoke Light to it and reconnect spoke to nipple. Warning: Doing the latter WILL throw your wheel out of true, so you will need to have someone straighten the wheel if you don't know how to yourself. On the plus side, it will be securely attached to the wheel, so you won't have to worry about the unit being removed by grubby little fingers! Bottom line = a lot of faffing about! The units should be redesigned with an integrated metal strip on top which includes solid metal-threaded prongs that won't snap under pressure.

Over all, kinda good product, but...
It's kinda good product, i like mostly the USB charging port, and long battery life. You charging for 1:30hour and it the battery holds up to 12hours of use. Plus it's waterproof feature is nice as well. LED's are very bright and nicely glowing at night. I just don't like one thing about this product, that the finger screws are very fragile and poorly made... It's very easy to break it down even if you unscrewing nicely and easily... and when bike wheels absorbing lots of shock, and bumpings, later on LED lights sometimes getting a bit loose by itself and it could damage the LED light permanently. So manufacturers should improve in the future they're product design so the LED lights could be installed much more harder, and more secure :)

Faulty. But rest is good quality
Great light but the lower peg has no slot for the spoke to fit through. I have had to file one in. Happened with both ones I have ordered so possibly a faulty batch?LEDs are bright but the charged doesn't last for ages. But the ease of USB charging is brilliant.

Terrible fixings
The lights work great and look amazing, however the waterproof cover for the usb is not great, but the worst part of this was the fixings to secure it to the wheel, on only my second use the fixings snapped and sent the light flying across the road. And it no longer can be attached to the bike now.

Bright and easy to install but does not last two seasons
Used it several times after buying - very good.After a summer break, it now charges and indicates it is fully charged but does not switch on anymore. As it is sealed it's not possible to find out where the faulty connection is without breaking the whole thing...

Not good
Broke almost straight away.

Disappointing
Both screw threads broke when trying to attach and had to use gaffer tape.
