Protect yourself without breaking the bank with these budget-friendly bike lights.

When searching for a new bike light, the variety of choices on the market can be daunting—doubly so if you’re a beginner. Finding the right product for you and your lifestyle is further complicated when looking into the different features of a bike taillight or headlight, and even more so when considering price. Lights are, after all, a vital layer of safety when riding in public, day or night. So why not consider the less stressful and budget-friendly option of buying both at once?

Amazon has a variety of reliable bicycle light sets that won’t set you back more than $70, and we’ve rounded up the best of those product choices here. If you’re on the hunt for a two-pack that won’t break the bank, check out one of these bike light sets available right now on Amazon for less than the price of a premium headlight.

When purchasing a bike light set—especially if you're buying on a budget—keep the following in mind to get the most bang for your buck.

All of the lights on this list are suitable for daytime rides and commutes, but not all are great for nighttime use. If you’re looking to kill two birds with one stone and grab a headlight and taillight at once, consider what kind of rides you’ll be taking them on. Early morning and dusk rides require ample lighting that can capture the attention of motorists and pedestrians via flashing or blinking. At nighttime, however, more power is required. If you frequently bike at night, consider a set that can provide a bright and consistent wide beam of light, as well as one that has a lengthy battery life, to ensure you don't find yourself stranded in the dark.

Remember: Lights aren’t just for seeing, they’re also for being seen. The brighter the light source, the better others are able to see your presence.

Lumens are a unit of measurement indicating how visible a light will be. The higher the number of lumens a light has, the brighter it will be. We recommend reaching for a light set with a high lumen count so that you can capture the attention of both motorists and pedestrians during at all times of day. Light sets are often packaged together with stronger headlights than taillights, so consider the number of lumens each light can produce when buying a set for yourself. When a taillight's lumen count isn't listed on a product description, it should be assumed that it's fairly weak.

To find the best budget bicycle light sets on Amazon, we scoured the internet to find the most frequently recommended two-packs. We also used our own guide to the best bike lights as a reference and picked every product that cost less than $70.

It’s tough finding a budget bike light set that includes both a powerful headlight and taillight, but this one from NiteRider fits the bill. The front headlight can shine up to 900 lumens, while its rear light can spare 110, making it one of the mutually brightest pairs on this list.

The headlight has five modes to toggle through while the rear has six, including steady, flash, and pulse, and you can adjust each light’s level of brightness to conserve battery life. You can also attach the headlight to your helmet, so long as you have a mount. Grab this if you're looking for a well-rounded light set that will work well for both daytime and nighttime rides.

While all the light sets on this list are on the affordable side, you won't find a set much better than this one from Ascher when it comes to value. Each light turns on with the push of a single button, which can be used to cycle through four light modes.

The lights attach your bike's frame and handlebars with a silicone strap, so no tools are needed for installation, and each one's charging port is covered with with a rubber seal to prevent water damage.

It’s hard to believe this two-pack is as cheap as it is, but even after a year of our own testing, we’ve found them to be a reliably superb set.

If you’ve been known to forget to turn off your car headlights before heading inside, this might be the set of bike lights for you. These lights have five modes, including steady and light, high, and daytime flash, and they automatically turn on as soon as you start pedaling. Because they’re activated by motion, when you stop riding your bike, they’ll shut off within two minutes' time.

With a compact, square design, they attach to your bike with quick-release silicone straps and can be used as reflectors for an added layer of safety. Plus they’re IPX6-rated, meaning they're sufficiently waterproof to use on rainy rides.

This powerful light set has a headlight that boasts a super high lumen count, making it ideal for nighttime bike rides. The headlight features five light modes, including a wide-angle flood beam that lets you shine your light up to 650 yards away. Once mounted, it rotates a full 360 degrees so you can use your headlight as a spotlight. This headlight also doubles as a power brick and is chargeable with a modern USB-C connection.

Be wary, however, that the taillight is tossed in as a sort of freebie, and while it’s also rechargeable and features its own set of light modes, users say it may be better suited to daytime commutes rather than adventures into the night due to its limited power.

Gloriously bright, this waterproof light set has a 3,000-lumen headlight and a bonus rear light that’ll keep you sufficiently visible on the road. While its taillight is more of a safety freebie, the headlight impressed us during our own testing. We found its 10-hour battery life and incredibly bright headlight to be an awesome value. The headlight can also rotate and be used as a spotlight for a wide cone of visibility.

Its automatic power saving mode, which toggles the light to a lower setting when the battery is low, makes it easy to conserve battery power when you need it most. The headlight is solid for nighttime rides, and while you may want a stronger taillight to toss on your seatpost, the one included in this set is great for a helmet.

If you want your bike lights to add as little weight as possible to your ride, this sleek set is sure to entice you. Weighing 29 grams each, these Cygolite lights fit slim and flat across your handlebar and seat post, reducing bulk and improving your ride's overall aesthetics as compared to clunkier models. Each light has six modes suitable for daytime riding, and their wide beam provides an impressive cone of visibility.

Take note that these lights may not be powerful enough for nighttime rides, however, and some customers say that although the battery is easily rechargeable, its lifespan leaves something to be desired.

Ascher makes some of our favorite value-forward lights, and according to Amazon user reviews, this set of taillights is a great budget buy. Priced under $20 for the set, these two taillights shine bright enough for a daytime or city nighttime ride, and with four light mode options, they’re sure to draw attention.

Each taillight can emit a wide-angle beam visible from blocks away, and having two means you can strap one to your frame and one to your backpack. This is a great pick for anyone who already has a headlight, or needs a two-pack of taillights as an added precaution.
