Blackburn Flea....Again?


From Bikemag.com

The Flea front and rear commuter lights obviously get their name from their relatively small, flat appearance. But what isn't immediately apparent is how bright these little buggers are—a claimed 40* lumens apiece.

In terms of utility, Blackburn hits the nail right on the head. Even though the Flea lights manage to retain a little bit of molded styling about them, they do so without wasting much material. Both lights come with a simple Velcro strap embedded with a silicone stripe that grips either a handlebar or seatpost. This makes for easy-on/easy-off functionality, which is key for commuters concerned about protecting their $55 investment.

In a nice nod to versatility, the rear light incorporates a snappy little steel spring, giving the user the option of ditching the Velcro in lieu of snapping the Flea onto the back of a bag, and making for one less light to remove from your bike when you reach your destination. more more more
