Novelty Magic Tire Bikelights from LightsCastle (fireflys)
5 Stars (Fantastic fun for kids!)
Price: only $3.20
A special thanks to Crystal from LightsCastle for sending me these lights to review (more as a novelty gift for my son)
These little lights are very easy to use, they simply thread onto the tire valves after removing the valve cap.
They also come with an adaptor to enable fitting of both type of bicycle tire valve.
The lights are called fireflys and come well packaged as shown below
You quite simply unscrew the firefly, remove a protective plastic strip (Storage Battery Isolator) and screw back together.
The firefly will only light when it is knocked or when there is a centrifugal force exerted upon them (the rotation of the wheel)
This is what they look like when fitted
I tried to get a decent still picture without much luck but here are the best ones LOL
Since the images are not too great, here is an even worse quality video.... hey what did you expect from me ? a good one ? ;-)
This is my boy riding his bike in the dark with the fireflys on

Did I mention great fun for kids ? and adults too

None
If you want some fun bike lights for your kids that are cheap as chips. You cannot go wrong with the fireflys
I'm off to steal his fireflys and put them on my bike : )
