Great lighting system. I used it in the Winter season when my commute to and from work was dark. I had to use a helmet mounting system from a competitor lighting manufacturer to work with my Laser G1... See more

Gloworm XSV light set

Lights are brilliant, even with poor eyesight on our regular trails have never had the need to run them on full power and the battery range is very good.
Where I would like to see improvements is in the battery mount. The supplied strap while being long enough it is quite flimsy and with the size of the battery I believe this area need improvement. Possibly two straps of a better construction.

I ordered a new charger and battery for my Gloworm light. Was very excited to receive a strap and the rubber pad to sandwich between the batter and bike frame. It’s perfect and wish I had another for my other battery. Two batteries are great. Can run until one dies, then switch over.

I found the plug for charging a bit finicky. It seems like I need to be extra careful being sure to get it to seat properly.

I’m also a bit surprised by how much battery loss occurs when not in use. My battery loses about 4% in a 24hr period.

I think the light is well built, and the amount of light is excellent. The light is expensive, but totally on par with similar lights, but much better built. So far, the run time on high is unparalleled.

All in all, I am very pleased.

I had to order a replacement battery…

I had to order a replacement battery for my CX light because the old one stopped charging, just after a year of use. I received this new one very quickly, but it's not holding charge as well as the previous battery. Even on the lowest setting, in commuter mode, it's drained in less than an hour. I filled out a form on Gloworm's website almost two weeks ago to report the problem, but have heard absolutely nothing from them. I plan on filling out another request for help, but am honestly disappointed in both their lack of response and the lack of charge hold in this battery. I'm also somewhat dismayed that the original battery was rendered useless in just over a year.

FWIW, I use the light for commuting five days a week (around 20 miles of dark riding), as well as for a handful of early morning and/or overnight rides. I would not say the battery was overused.

**UPDATE 27 June 2022**
Apparently my form submission didn't quite make it through to Glowworm support, but once it did they were very helpful in trying to rectify the problems I was having. The light itself is having some issues with charging now, but fingers crossed we'll be able to figure that problem out as well!

Hi Dave, apologies for the lack of a response to your email. It looks like it was accidentally deleted! I've since found it and replied, we'll do our best to get this resolved for you. Cheers, Nico

The best lights full stop

These are the best lights going around hands down. And their service is great. When my first set wore out (after years) they replaced them for a discount and recycled the old unit.

Hiya, cheers for taking the time to leave us a review and glad to hear you're enjoying your new lights!

Love the product

Love the product. I've had the G1. 0 for a few years and loved the brightness and the battery life. I lashed out on the G2. 0 on sale as I intend to do some extended hours in the dark and like the idea of customising the levels of light. I just came back from a7hr+ session mostly set at 25% output and it lasted the distance. I'd highly recommend the XSV light set which I purchased.

Highly recommend these lights. amazing

I absolutely love my Gloworm lights. I've had them for over 6 years and I use them weekly for my night ride. They have amazing customer service and warranty. On both my batteries right before the two years the battery was not charging and they totally fixed it.

Solid lights

Solid lights, better than expected battery life. Good lens/light pattern options as well, a nice little bonus. Strongly recommend.

Excellent experience to date…

Recently I had a tech support question that they answered quickly by email. I also ordered an accessory from their online store and it arrived promptly. Excellent experience. I own two of their lights and they work perfectly.

LOVE my new lights!

Arrived in a reasonably fast time, given that the package had to come across the border. I appreciate that Gloworm maintains a presence on mountain bike forums and is responsive to customers. The lights are absolutely amazing; super bright, well designed pattern, and very small and light. The mounting hardware is fantastic, too. I’m very happy to spend the money for a premium product, I really feel like it is worth the price for what you get.
