National Light Up!
About this page
The Light Up! campaign has run since 2005. We aim to increase the proportion of riders riding at night with compliant lights, prompt two battery changes each year by regular riders and identify the best value lights on the market
Every year, Ride On magazine tests bike lights to find out the best on the market and the best value. Check out our findings
