Enfitnix Cubelite ii Smart Bicycle Tail Light Review
Why buy an Enfitnix Cubelite ii
Context.
I cycle during the day from Machida to Enoshima, central Tokyo, or Hakone. I never plan to cycle in the dark but have been caught out fixing a puncture or in overcast weather. In winter, it can get gloomy after 2pm.
Modes that appeal to me, and why I bought the device:
- Automatically turns on when it gets unexpectedly dark, especially in tunnels. Japanese tunnels are not nice.
- Brightens when braking (I’ve yet to test this feature).
- Turns off when car lights shine on it to maximize reflector effectiveness.
- Turns on at dusk when light is low.
- Self-operating on/off means I just need to charge it without worrying about batteries leaking.
Observations
- It’s smaller than expected! The dimensions are about 2.5cm x 3cm. Compared to older battery-powered lights, it’s compact and modern.
Features
- Clip to mount directly under the saddle – I don’t use this.
- Clip that attaches to saddle stem – I used this initially but the saddle bag slid down hiding the light. The light now clips to the saddle bag itself, which works better.
In the box
- Great packaging with rubber bands and plastic ties for secure mounting. Instruction manual is useful.
- Charges via USB, adding to my pile of USB-powered devices. I’ll need adapters when travelling.
Recommended?
- Yes! The metal water-resistant case is sturdy.
- The USB connector is well protected and easy to open.
- Extremely bright—don’t look directly at it close up!
- Easy one-button operation; it knows when I’m cycling or resting without needing manual adjustment.
