My favourite bike lights are discounted in the Amazon Prime Day sales, so I've bought more

Driving down an unlit road a few years ago I came up behind a cyclist with a pair of LED light handlebar plugs flashing away in the dark. I noticed the lights straight away and how much wider they made the rider look on the road - the handlebars being the widest part of our bikes. I was instantly sold and brought myself a pair of the Cateye Orb handlebar plug lights. I've used them ever since, mostly on my winter bike on commutes and dark evening rides. They are a useful way of adding an extra couple of lights to your bike, and you take comfort from knowing you are hopefully that little bit more visible to motorists from behind.

Amazon ran this Cateye Orb deal back in July when we originally featured it. I noticed that the lights were also discounted again this October for the Amazon Prime Big Deals Day, to use its proper name. I was hunting for Amazon Prime Day cycling deals this afternoon and noticed that once again the Orb bar end plugs were discounted at 20% in the USA and at a fantastic 45% off in the UK, which is an even bigger discount than last time! Get yourself a pair if you are interested and they will help you feel that little bit more protected on the bike.
