Blackburn Offers Two Lights for the Price of One with the 2’Fer

Free lights for life! All you have to do is deal with warranting them every couple of weeks!

I’ll be trying out these lights

Short review: Awesome light, buy two. They use a micro USB cable for recharging.

Long-winded review: I’m visiting Kauai and borrowed a friend’s bike equipped with two of these lights. For family time and to avoid the burning sun of the day, I did a fair amount of night riding. My experience in cycling is extensive: road racing, triathlon, commuting, and cycle touring (Nice-Marrakech, etc). I love the fact that these lights are rechargeable, super-lightweight, and quite effective in terms of safety illumination. For this purpose, they are excellent. A Blackburn 2’Fer, as a bicycle headlight, going slowly–works better than average–but for higher speeds, I recommend a stronger light to really see the road. Try removing the strap of a Blackdiamond Storm and fashion it to the front of your helmet. For that matter, use one of these 2’Fer lights on the rear of your helmet for optimal driver visibility–it will counterweight the headlamp.

Here’s a tip for using a 2’Fer as a handle-bar mounted headlight: put a strip of black electrical tape over the top edge to allievate glare into the rider’s eyes.

Overall, I’m very impressed with the Blackburn 2’Fer light and will buy a couple for myself. It’s such a great little light, I will carry one traveling–even if not cycling.
