Need lights for a few bikes without paying a fortune? These little silicone strap lights come in a pack of red and white and go on just about anything.
I picked these up for my folding bikes because I want them to be safe at night. Mine came as six lights, three red and three white, and the way they’re built means you can use them for a lot more than bikes. Here’s how they work, the modes, and why the strap design is the clever part. The button goes to the Malker silicone light set on Amazon.
- Really inexpensive way to light several bikes
- White for a headlight, red for a taillight
- Same three modes on both colors
- Tool-free strap goes on and off in seconds
- Small and very portable
- Useful for camping too
- They’re small lights, made to be seen rather than to light up a trail
- The video doesn’t cover battery life

Simple click-through modes
Each light has a clear housing with a couple of LED elements and one button. Click once for a steady light, again for a fast strobe, again for a slow strobe, and once more for off. Both colors work the same way.
The light color matches the housing: white for a front light or signal, red for a taillight, exactly what you’d expect.
The clever part: the silicone strap
The construction is what makes these interesting. There’s an almost watchband-like flexible silicone strap with a loop on the end, and a hard plastic hook molded into the lens. Loop it over the hook and it fits around all kinds of things: handlebars, the seat post, whatever.
You could put one on a tent pole or a tree to light up your tent or campsite, too. They’re made to attach to different parts of a bike, give you light when you need it, and come off easily.
Value for families
Getting six in one order means that if your family has lots of bikes, you can light all of them for safety or night use without paying for expensive bike lights that’ll put you in the poorhouse. Just a really cool little design, and you can put them on everything. You can even wear one on your thumb.
