- To see on unlit roads and greenways: a brighter headlight such as the Giant Recon HL 600 or HL 1800.
- E-bike lights: AXA lights wired to the e-bike battery (6–12V or 6–48V; check your bike first).
- Rear and brake lights: AXA Juno, Dwn Rear brake light and Giant Recon TL.
Bike light rules in Ireland
Irish law requires a white or yellow front light and a red rear light, plus a red rear reflector, when you cycle after dark. The RSA also recommends lights in poor daytime visibility.
Questions
Do I need lights on my bike in Ireland?
Yes. After lighting-up time you need a white or yellow front light, a red rear light and a red rear reflector.
How bright should bike lights be?
For city streets, a front light of a few hundred lumens is enough to be seen. For unlit roads, choose 600 lumens or more so you can see the road ahead.
