According to Australian road rules, bicycles must have a white front light and a red rear light when riding in low-light conditions. Both lights must be visible from at least 200 metres, and a red reflector is required on the rear of the bike.

Blue coloured lights are illegal on Australian roads, as they might be misinterpreted as emergency services (police, fire, ambulance).

Pick a front light that suits your riding conditions (brighter for dark roads, lower for city riding) and pair it with a bright rear light for visibility.

For road cycling at night, you need a bright front light to see the road ahead and a reliable rear light to ensure you’re visible to traffic. If you ride in poorly lit areas, such as bike paths, consider a higher-lumen light (1,000+ lumens) for better visibility.

Yes, USB-rechargeable bike lights are more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than disposable battery-powered lights. They also tend to be brighter and have multiple light modes for different riding conditions.

Most bike lights attach with a rubber strap or clamp mount to your handlebars and seat post. For added visibility, some cyclists mount a second rear light on their helmet or backpack.

Battery life depends on the light’s brightness and settings. As a general rule:

• • Low power mode: 10–20 hours
  • Medium brightness: 3–6 hours
  • High brightness: 1–3 hours

Rechargeable lights typically take 1–4 hours to fully charge.

Most modern bike lights are water-resistant (IPX4 or higher), meaning they can handle rain and splashes. If you ride in heavy rain, look for IPX6 or IPX7-rated lights for better protection.

A steady front light is best for night riding, as it helps you see the road ahead. A flashing front light is useful during the day to increase visibility but shouldn’t be your only light at night. A flashing rear light is recommended for both day and night, as it helps drivers and other road users notice you more easily.

No, for suburban commuting, you don’t need an extremely powerful light – you just need to be seen rather than see far ahead. A small front light is usually enough for lit streets, while a bright rear light (50+ lumens, ideally flashing) ensures you’re visible to traffic. If your route includes darker paths or roads, consider a brighter front light (600+ lumens).

Yes! Most modern bike lights support daytime running modes, which help make you more visible to drivers, pedestrians, and other cyclists. A flashing front and rear light during daylight hours improves safety, especially in busy traffic or low-visibility conditions like fog or rain. Many high-quality bike lights now include a daytime flash mode specifically designed for this purpose.
