Be Safe and Be Seen with the Original WheelBrightz Bike Wheel Light Tube by Brightz.
Most people are aware of the need for front and rear bike lighting but often overlook the importance of side visibility lights for riding bikes at night. If you love riding your bike in the evening after dark, you know it doesn’t really give you a chance to show off your bicycle and be the cool kid on the block. Most importantly, it can be dangerous if you can’t be seen. That’s why we created these bright colored LED light ropes for bike tires that you can attach to your wheel rim to create a beautiful, glowing, colorful spinning wheel that your friends and neighbors will never forget. Wheel Brightz Bicycle Lights for riding at night provide a cool glow for both front and rear wheels on bicycles. Whether you're riding through the city street or sidewalk, along the beach, or a trail at your local park, Wheel Brightz keeps you safe and visible as you ride your bicycle after dark.
Compatible with Bikes with Standard Wheel Sizes
WheelBrightz LED Bike Lights are designed for creativity and to fit your style. For bicycle tires measuring 23 - 29 inches, you can make one loop around the tire rim. For bike tires less than 20 inches, the LED light rope can be cut-to-fit, or you can make multiple loops around your bike spokes to make your entire wheel glow. Wheel Brightz are designed to fit a wide range of on and off-road bicycles so people can light up the dark and add a little colorful flair to their ride, including road bikes, cyclocross bikes, touring bikes, adventure road bikes, triathlon and time trial bikes, fitness bikes, track and fixed gear bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid bikes, dual-sport bikes, beach cruiser bikes, flat-foot comfort bikes, city bikes, BMX bikes, folding bikes, recumbent bikes, tandem, adult tricycles, and even wheelchairs. Brightz LED wheel lights fasten securely and safely to the wheel with heavy-duty zip ties, resist water with a waterproof tubing, and come in all types of brilliant colors to match your bike’s frame or your individual style.
The Perfect Gift for Kids of All Ages
Kids are typically pretty good at being clear about what they want. But as they age, trying to figure out a cool, unique and trendy gift for them becomes a significantly greater challenge. Be it your son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, niece or nephew, sister, or friend's teenager in middle school, coming up with a trendy, cool, or useful gift that children actually like may seem like an impossible task - especially if you aren’t necessarily in touch with the latest social media trends on TikTok. Until now, with WheelBrightz.

With 14 different color options, WheelBrightz has trendy colors that are giftable for any loved one in your life. Color choices such as blue, red, green, yellow, purple, orange, and white can be colors that match well with your husband, uncle, dad, nephew or son's favorite NCAA basketball, NFL football, NBL baseball, or NHL hockey or college sports team and make the perfect fathers day, birthday, or Christmas gift. Colors such as blue, pink, pastel, purple, and rainbow make the perfect mother's day, or Christmas present for your wife, aunt, mom, or niece.

I will be purchasing the body lights and the frame lights eventually too.

I have now installed more sets of Wheel Brights than I care to admit. I am back today to order more and have already given them as gifts for my kids, friends/relatives.
Are the Wheel Brightz inexpensive? No, in fact I delayed purchasing my first set for months because the price seems quite steep for cutesy LED bike lights. However, after finally buying my first set (2-pack) and installing (first time takes some effort [20 min] but simple for me now [5min]) I now see that they are well worth every penny.
These lights (blue, red and green are all bright and vibrant colors) are super fun! They make biking much more fun and much more safe... How safe? Cars now come to a screeching halt as soon as we approach an intersection just to gawk at the effects, that or they think aliens are landing, in any case they work! The circus is coming to town every time our family rolls through! How fun? When I roll through the neighborhood bike path near sundown the little kids and toddlers chase after my bike, like a pack of wild dogs, gleefully pointing and drooling over "the coolest bike I ever seen!"
One caveat. People on foot, on bikes and in cars will flag you down to find out where you get those lights? It can be annoying but I typically indulge if time permits.
Ok, they are the greatest thing in the galaxy and known universe? Well, maybe... but of course there are a few imperfections in the Wheel Brightz. As some reviewers have lamented they simply don't fit small kiddie bikes very well or sometimes at all. I recommend them for 20" or larger for best results and smaller sizes depend on the wheel/spoke design. If the battery pack fits inside the spokes you can always spiral the lights or wrap them more than once for a nice effect. They also require battery replacement but I can go a month or so between changes (depending on use of course) and if you are proficient at Wheel Brightz installation it's no bid deal. It may be a nuisance if you are not used to the installation process. The switches are a bit flaky and sometimes require a bit of messing with to get them to switch on/off but I've yet to have one fail. However, I could see how they one day might fail and is a distinct possibility. Are they built to last a lifetime? No, definitely not. I expect to occasionally replace...
I asked my three kids what they thought of them just now (ages 6-11) and they just just went wild.
Girlfriend and I like to ride around the neighborhood in the evenings. After several incidents where cars did not see us even with our front and rear lights on we decided to try these lights. They are awesome! We both feel a lot safer riding around at night now and they look great too. We get lots of nice compliments on the lights. I specifically order these lights because of the clear protective tube that covers the lights. Some other brands do not have this. I feel it will help with the longevity of the lights. I use rechargeable batteries and get several 3-4 rides before they need recharging.

I got these for my bike at Burning Man in 2022. Loved the lights! So easy to install. The strap for attaching the battery pack was easy to use. The lights looked great. Yahoo. Went out for a ride.
Unfortunately — the next morning when I looked at the bike, I found that the battery pack from the rear wheel was completely gone. It had completely fallen off the wheel. Lights were kaput.
I used tape to reinforce the connection of the front wheel battery pack to the tire. That survived until almost the end of the week, when I noticed it fly off as I rode. Second set of lights useless.
Admittedly the ground at Burning Man in 2022 was very washboard. Pretty much constant bouncing everywhere. I imagine that the bands were simply not up to that level of persistent jostling.
Still after 10 days of use, less than 50 miles of riding, both lights are completely useless. Maybe these will work for gentle rides on smooth pavement, For anything harsher than that, they need serious help to keep the battery pack in place.
I guess the best part of this story is that when the batter pack came loose, it broke the connecting wires and was flung away, rather than getting tangled in moving bike parts.
I’d give this 5 stars for ease of use and coolness. But falling apart so fast - sorry, gotta give it 1 star.
P.S. I see there are lots of complaints in recent reviews about the strap breaking. I wonder if the manufacturer changed the strap recently. Brightz, notice up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Update 8/19/23 - About 4 days after posting my original review we received an email from Brightz saying they wanted to make things right, and offering a replacement set of lights. I love the lights, so said yes.
We’ve installed these on the bike. I noticed that the band for the battery pack is different than last year’s - very stiff, and more difficult to install. We also zip tied the battery pack to the spokes. Will make it more difficult to change batteries, but they’ll probably last the week, and I’m not interested in risking the lights just to find out if the new band is stronger than the old one.
Did learn one thing - it’s important to install the battery pack right-side-up, with the light wires coming out toward the rim. Duh. We got it upside down on the front wheel. The connecting cord isn’t long enough to reach to the rim in this case. See picture.
So for now we’re set.
Brightz definitely gets credit for quick response. Increasing from 1 star to 2 for good customer support. Will report back again after Burning Man. Fingers crossed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Updated 9/13/23 Well, the good news is that with the addition of the zip ties, the lights and battery pack lasted all week. Sweet.
As luck would have it, one night I noticed a piece of litter (i.e. “moop” - matter out of place) that turned out to be another WheelBrightz battery pack. This was Wednesday evening, when the playa was still very smooth. Looks like their battery pack strap still isn’t adequate.
I’ve upgraded the rating to 4 stars - their customer service was good, I like the lights, and I’m OK adding zip ties. Not 5 stars because I still don’t trust their battery pack strap.

I bought two pairs of these (4 wheelBrightz units in total)
On all 4 pairs, the strap snapped. I was careful to follow the instructions to the letter, and not over-tighten them. The second pair snapped in the 3 days my bike sat in my garage between installing the lights, and finally being able to go ride after some rain.
It's really disappointing. I was trialling these before taking them out to Burning Man, where I had seen everyone using these last year. I can't fathom how those straps can't survive my garage (during normal summer temperatures in Ontario) but can survive Black Rock Desert, NV.
Estás luces fueron para la bicicleta de mi hijo, él quedó encantado y los conocidos aún más. Me gusto aún más que son visibles a distancia lo que permite seguridad al transitar de noches en las calles.
I have used this product on my bicycle for added light in the evening and was quite happy with item. The grand kids saw these lights on the grandparents bicycles and had to have a set. They work well are reliable and add a visibility factor in the evening darkness. This certainly enhances safety.
The idea is good and the lights like cool but it's poorly executed. Build quality is poor, and mounting 6 batteries to your wheel hub proves to be problematic due to centrifugal forces. Bought two sets, and one was dimmer than the other. Mind ended up in the bin after breaking from just a few rides.
