Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Lumos Firefly Mini. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

10 reasons to buy

  • Lumos includes magnetic mounts and zip ties for mounting the Firefly Mini front or rear.
  • Using the Lumos app, this light can be set to emit white, red, or yellow light.
  • Testers deem the Firefly Mini suitable as a daytime be-seen light for urban settings.
  • Combining multiple lights effectively increases nighttime visibility.
  • Reviewers and owners appreciate the easy-to-install, versatile mounting options that attach to frames, handlebars, seatposts, or seatstays. They also fit Lumos helmets with the purchase of an adapter.
  • The Firefly Mini comes with a clip for use on clothing or bags.
  • An optional seat mount allows two Firefly Minis to function as taillights, brake lights, or turn signals.
  • The turn signal feature can be accessed using the app or an optional handlebar remote.
  • Reviewers say the Ride Lumos app, which offers mode customization, is easy and intuitive to use.
  • Multiple lights can be programmed to turn off by powering off one.

3 reasons not to buy

  • A reviewer thinks two or four lights are necessary to take advantage of the smart features, and this is very expensive.
  • Battery status is only visible in the app.
  • An owner finds the clips too short to adequately secure to bags.

Bottom line

The Lumos Firefly Mini is a 30-lumen bike light that can be programmed as a white headlight, red taillight, or yellow turn signal (with two). This light has three flashing modes only. Testers who say it's adequate to be seen both night and day praise the creative features and versatile mounting options. However, two or four lights are required to take advantage of most of these features, which is expensive. The versatility of the Lumos Firefly Mini lights may appeal to some, but there are many cheaper but equally effective bicycle lights available.

Lumos has taken their smart Firefly lights and made them more compact and affordable with the Firefly Mini lights. While the lights lack focused LEDs, the smaller size makes them more versatile and affordable.

I like how you can see that you are coming up on a bike. I’m walking pretty far away and you can still see those lights.
