Thanks Jim ..glad it helps !
Great piece of kit
Look and feel is of an excellent piece of kit. Reviews by those behind me are also very good. May be just imagining it but it feels like drivers go that bit wider when passing. 😀

Good light - mounting issue though
It’s a good light, and it does help with regard to close passes during the evening in particular. I have an issue with the mounting system which requires removing the seat post every time you want to mount it. That’s an incredible waste of time as it’s not a light weight mount and there are times when I don’t want it on my bike.

One rubber band is a free spare :) this was added after the instructions were printed
We are updating the instructions for our new stock
The light is good and it is well made
The light is good and it is well made. The main reason for buying is to encourage drivers to pass wider.

Love the L-bow
Love the L-bow, had the first generation, this new one even better, great design and function. Ordered on line and arrived three days later. Great value at £22.

I bought this to replace my MK1 which was broken when my bike fell over. To be honest the difference is less than obvious. As with the MK 1, the rubber band which holds it in place needs to be tighter in my opinion. The mounting system does not facilitate swapping between bikes. Luckily for me I have a spare seat post mount due to the demise of my MK 1.

Thanks for your feedback John , much appreciated
Terrible product, Bad Company
Terrible product. It doesn’t hold a charge. I contacted support and they admitted there was a problem with some units, but they did not fix or replace mine. So I am the proud owner of an elbow shaped piece of junk.
UPDATE: They did not respond until I posted this review— I think that tells you everything you need to know about this company.

Unfortunately your light did go wrong and we were waiting for new stock to arrive to be able to send you a replacement , we apologised for being slow to respond, a replacement was offered but turned down and money refunded !
Great service
Finally got my hands on the latest L-Bow light ! Order process and delivery perfect

Hello Sean
Hello Sean
Tank you for two more L-bow. I was in contakt with you in 2019 and we talked about import L-bow to Norway with me as agent. May be some times in the future?
I'm impressed of L-bow with the security light and how to keep cars not to narrow the rider.
Best regards

A must have to help reduce dangerous close passes
I bought this for my husband who cycles every day. With roads seeming to become increasingly dangerous for cyclists, and (some) driver attitudes towards cyclists being utterly shocking, over the years I have bought my husband anything I have seen that makes his journeys as a cyclist safer.
Almost every day my husband experiences close passes by drivers who simply cannot wait until it is safe to pass him. Some have been shockingly close, and some have seen him being subjected to verbal abuse and threats from drivers for simply being on the road. I hate him cycling because of this reason, so when I saw this it was a must have. Anything that helps increase his presence on the road and makes his bicycle 'bigger' to help encourage drivers to allow more space is worthwhile having.
The light on this is incredibly bright. Personally I would like it to be longer, but my husband says whilst there are still close passes, it does seen to be helping reduce the high volume of close passes.
The usage time on one charge is amazing. It was easy to install and my husband is very pleased with it. Even if it only stopped just one close pass it would be worth every penny.
Maybe one day, vehicle drivers will understand that cyclists have the same entitlement to be on the road and treat them with respect and general decency.
Thank you for creating this product.
