# Space-Saving Cyclist Lights The RydeSafe Headtube Bike Light Frees Up Handlebar Space By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2023-02-12 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rydesafe-headtube-bike-light References: [newatlas](https://newatlas.com/bicycles/rydesafe-head-tube-bicycle-headlight/) & [rydesafe](https://rydesafe.com/collections/all/products/rydesafe-bike-light-head-tube-front)  Conventional [bike lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cycling-headlight) are traditionally designed to fit onto [handlebars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-handlebar), but the RydeSafe Headtube Bike Light takes things in a different direction to save ample space on a bicycle setup. The bike light is meant to be installed onto the front headtube on a bicycle where it will provide ample illumination thanks to a series of 10 LEDs within the housing. The IPX4 water resistance rating means the light will easily withstand exposure to the elements. The RydeSafe Headtube Bike Light also works well in the rear of a bike to act as a [taillight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radian-wingman) and comes in 10 body colors to choose from. The light weighs in at just 56-grams and has a silicone construction to stretch easily onto any bike.
