Princeton Tech has generously provided the Bob's Red Mill Cyclocross team with bike lights. For the front we are using the Push light, which has a lot of really convenient features. First, the light is 100 lumens and has three modes: bright, low, and flash (optimal for high visibility in traffic). Additionally, the lights have a row of small, flashing red LEDs on each side to make you more visible to cars and other riders from the side. Another smart feature of the Push is that it detaches from the mount towards the rider instead of away from him, so the light never flies off the bars by accident when you are adjusting it. Overall, the Push is a great light in a reliable, compact form. The team is also running the Swerve taillight. The switch on the Swerve is simple and never accidentally turns the light off when you hit bumps. The light is the brightest and most visible rear light I've used. In addition to being bright, the Swerve has a unique rubber band mounting system. This system lets you wrap the light around any part of your bike in seconds, without having to use a screwdriver to install a clamp to mount the light on. The light includes two different sized rubber bands or you can clip the light directly to your backpack or seatbag. In conclusion, Princeton Tech lights are the most functional and powerful LED lights I have used and I would recommend them to any rider.
