Bookman Lights: First run

About a week ago, I posted about Bookman Lights. Last night was the first hustle night ride

I have taken them on, besides casual night rides. Here's my two cents. I really like the Lo-pro look of the lights

when mounted (super easy to mount) and how the on/off button doesn't trigger, when you brush against it or

have them in your bag (it takes a solid push to get turn them on).



That's great and all, but they need to be brighter. It gets dark in some spots of LA,

and the front light wasn't bright enough by itself to light my path. The rear was just fine and bright enough.

After a week of casual night riding and one hustle ride, I would use these for my casual night rides (barhoppin), but still breakout the big dogs for longer, harder night rides. Thanks to Gear collective for making an already stylish bike look that much better!

Bookman Lights

This little package of Bookman lights was waiting for me, when I got home from my trip.

While these came from my homegirl Jarah (Gear Collective) in NYC (Thanks!), I actual saw these in Sweden!

My cousin Andy had these for his bike lights. It's a Swedish company and I'll be proud

to give these a whirl.



I love the packaging, so Swedish. It feels like you could pick these up in Ikea,

as well as your LBS. Pretty cool that it comes in a set, front and rear.


Details:

"The design idea was to use the simplest shape possible and let the colors do the talking.

We began with a block shape and then added the few necessary functional elements;

the curved underside, the oversized rubber button and the groove for attaching the elastic cord.

So here is Bookman Light designed to meet the modern demands of material and energy efficiency,

but most importantly to look fabulous on your bike!"
