Quick Take
Riding after dark comes down to one practical question: should the lighting be part of your helmet or a separate set of lamps on the bike? This group of products gives you two very different answers. The ILM Bike Cycling Helmet combines head protection with USB rechargeable front and back lights, while the three two-piece light kits are standalone headlight and taillight sets. The price spread is wide: the cheapest option is a two-piece light kit, while the most expensive is a helmet with integrated lighting. So the real decision is whether you need a new helmet too.

Product Notes
ILM Bike Cycling Helmet with USB Rechargeable LED Front and Back Light
The ILM helmet is the only product here that covers both head protection and visibility. Its one-piece shell combines EPS and PC, it has 10 vents, and the weight is 0.8 pounds. The front and rear light offers four modes, and the detachable tinted lens helps with sun and dust. If you need a helmet anyway, this avoids adding separate mounts to your bike. At $69.99, it's the most expensive item in the group, and it's a single helmet rather than a two-piece lamp set. Choose it when you want one integrated piece of gear for your ride.
2 Sets USB Rechargeable LED Bicycle Headlight Bike Front Rear Lamp Cycling
This two-set version costs $9.07 and gives you two complete front-and-rear light sets, which is useful if you have more than one bike. The front lamp has high, low, and flashing modes; the rear lamp has slide, flashing, and always-on modes. It's USB rechargeable, water resistant, and built with aluminum and rubber. The detachable light/flashlight function means the front unit can double as a handheld light. The limitation is where it sits in the lineup: it's not the least expensive two-set kit, and the stated 700LM output appears on the US and USA versions.

The US version of the two-set kit is the lowest-priced item in the comparison at $8.79. It still has front and rear USB rechargeable lights, with three modes for the front lamp and a 700LM output. The materials include aluminum alloy and rubber, and the charging times are 3 hours for the headlight and 2 hours for the taillight. If you want to spend the least money and don't need extra color details, this is the straightforward pick. The limitation is the small price gap: spending about $3 more gets the USA version with a black headlight/red tail light combination and the Bg Lights name.

The USA version is the most expensive of the three separate light kits at $11.99. It shares the same two-set format and 1200mAh/180mAh battery capacities as the other light kits, while also including a 700LM output and charging times of 3 hours for the headlight and 2 for the taillight. The black headlight and red tail light color scheme is stated, and the set includes a detachable flashlight function. Its limitation is the price: at $11.99, it costs about $3 more than the US version, so you're paying for the color specification and the Bg Lights label more than for extra hardware.
Final Take
If you're buying a new helmet, the ILM helmet is the fit: it combines protection and lighting in one unit. If you already have a helmet, the three light kits give you a lower-cost way to be visible. For the lowest cost, choose the US version. For two bikes, choose the two-set kit that lacks the US or USA suffix. For a stated 700LM output and a black/red color scheme, choose the USA version.
