Magnet too weak lost on first ride. Bad buy.
Unfortunately, the lamp does not hold on to the supplied holders and fell off at the first bump and was thus lost. The magnet is simply too weak for use. Unfortunately, a complete bad buy.

Only suitable for fair-weather Sunday evening rides in the city
Already the second Lucettas that were defective after a few months (both not bought here). The new version is made 100% of cheap and brittle plastic, but the old aluminium ones were also cheaply made. Believe me, the lights only look high quality in the product pictures, in the hand they feel like $2 lights from eBay. The battery cover breaks easily (plastic thread overtightened or material breakage). The battery contacts also bend very easily over time, so that the light no longer comes on properly or changes mode on its own while riding. I don't have to explain how dangerous this can be with the rear light. They are not waterproof and, except for the first few minutes after changing the battery, they are not particularly bright. Unfortunately, apart from the huge Magnetic Bike Lights from Copenhagen Parts, there is no real alternative yet, so I'll probably get another set and hope that they last longer this time.
Pro
- Light without bracket
- Handiness
Contra
- Processing
- Light intensity
- Price-performance ratio

I am absolutely thrilled! After other bike lights were always stolen, I can simply take this one off and put it in my pocket. Besides, I don't have to disfigure my chic bike with any mounted holders ;)

Simply super
I love how quick they are to apply
Pro
- Bright
- Easy assembly
Contra
- Batteries instead of rechargeable batteries
Useful for Sunday strolls at most; not for daily use
I was enthusiastic about the idea and was brutally disappointed: it fell off on the very first ride, on the way up to the cycle path.... It quickly got "broken" as a result of falling off, and after a short time it was a total failure.
Pro
- Concept/idea super: small, uncomplicated, practical
Contra
- "Adhesion" insufficient, constantly fall off (from the holders) during normal vibrations.
- Luminous intensity only good at extremely short distances, much too much dispersion
- Absolutely poor workmanship (housing, contacts, gluing, mechanics)
- Battery wear enormous for effective performance

well
Light rather too weak, must change batteries frequently, ok for short distances.
