Bottom line
The Reelight 150 C is a front and rear set of hub-mounted, magnetic induction lights. They don't require batteries and you don't need to recharge them. They remain installed on your bike. Reelight 150 C lights are attached to your hubs and contain a dynamo coil. A magnet is attached to your spokes. This magnet passes by the coil to power your lights. Unlike other dynamo-driven lights, the Reelight 150 C set produces no friction. They emit a modest light, intended only to maintain visibility in already-lit sub/urban areas. Being hub-mounted, they sit at a low position above the ground. They are difficult to steal. Some buyers say the asking price is higher than they expected. Lighting diminishes quickly once pedaling comes to a stop.
