Brand: Brompton
MPN: Brompton Be Seen Lights
Rechargeable lights are bright and look very slick on the bike. They are also easy to mount. I do have a couple of additional lights, but these do a great job, so you and your bike are seen. You will need an extra spot light to be able to see the road in front of you at night. Great for visibility.
These are good little lights. They’re more for people to see you rather than look where you’re going, but they fit on neatly and remember which mode you had them set to when you switch them on. I had to make up a bracket to fit the rear light to my Brompton supplied Brooks saddle. It would be nice if Brompton supplied such a bracket.
Be Seen Lights, Yes that's the light at the end of the tunnel!
Battery lasts a lot, easy to install and work great!
Look great and work well
Quality products, and reliable people
Specifically for Brompton, these lights represent great value and convenience. Functionality is superb for an all day all night “presence” light allowing you to be seen by others. If you are riding down pitch black unlit country roads, you will need a more substantial front light to see where you are heading. Aesthetically pleasing, they are hardly noticeable fitting under your saddle and on the left brake lever, they do not inhibit the fold in any way. If you use a saddle bag, you may need to loosen the straps to allow a bag to hang below the saddle light. No real problem. The twist on, twist off fitting of the main light body to the base feels very secure. Simple single on/off/mode button operating steady, flash, beam and strobe modes. I have fully recommended these to fellow members of the Weston-super-Mare Brompton club. My wish would be that there will be an alternate rear fixing option for a Brooks B17 saddle as fitted on my other Brompton, and maybe to purchase as individual lights, front or rear, again with alternate fixing options for older Brompton and other two wheeled steeds.
The good thing is that these lights give you the best design integration and that they have been developed for Brompton and tested etc. The front light fits exactly into the brake lever assembly. The rear light only fits into the Brompton standard saddle, so if you have a Brooks saddle for instance, it’s useless. I think there should have been an option to fit it that does not rely on having the standard saddle. After all Brompton offer the Brooks from the factory. A point to note is that you have to press and hold the power button for two seconds or so to switch it on. You can then cycle through the options and it will also remember the chosen light mode when switched on the next time. I like that there are two diodes (red and green) to indicate charging status.
good but a little expensive
Easy to fit and use.
They're just OK, not great. Quality is so-so, had some difficulty installing the handlebar light. I bought my wife a Brompton first, and it came with a really good fender light. Could not find anything like it under Brompton accessories, so settled for the "Be Seen" lights. Time will tell, but not a clear winner . . . yet. Brompton are expensive, as are the accessories, so all of the accessories need to be of top quality to make up for the high prices.

Integrate exceptionally well into the bike without the need for additional brackets. Good range of steady and flashing modes to pick from. Well made, not quite upto Lezyne standard but almost. Only downside is the outdated micro usb charging connector, needs to be updated to usb c for 5 stars.
Very good, pretty design, round and round, diamonds for my Brompton
I love my Brompton(s) and like many I have too many and will be wanting more. I bought a set as my rear light powered by the front battery pack has conked out rather sadly. I do not tend to like the look of the Brompton when hacked to an individual's requirements as I believe in the aesthetic of the invention and subtle changes of design and trying to keep my bike looking standard so I do like the elegance of these lights as well as their practical technical benefits. However I would like Brompton to supply a fitting kit as a spare part so I can use the lights on my other Bromptons without splashing out another £40 when all I need to do is twist them off the installed bike and onto another - say my P Line which I would take on an airplane rather than the Electric Brompton.
my bike was damaged when delivered
