If the bike is not moving or moving slowly are the lights still on to be seen.

No. The images are created by a single line of vertical images. The images are created by a comPlex pattern of blinking and color change (superimposed on the wheel's motion). Thus, the lights go red when wheel is too slow/still. There is a sensor on the device (a small cable) that I assume calculates the wheel's rotation rate. That's why I think people have answered both Yes and No.

It's hard to explain- the lights are on, yes, but they are just LED "dots." So in order to get the effect you are looking for in the picture, the bike must be in motion. Hope that helps.

It does not get the effect you see in the advertised pic. You will only see LED dots. By the way , i have this model and the 232 step up. My 2 cents: get the step up model

THERE IS ONLY ONE LIGHT ON THE MACHINE. It has a small green light to signal the power is on. You would not even notice it unless you looked directly at the machine.

I don't think so. The light stays on for sure. It might have some energy saving mode, but it's not clear.

The light comes on when I walk my bike so it should be ok on a hill. I don't see an appreciable difference in light output. I have a Shimano Alfine hub.

The light is on as long as the unit is on. It's not super bright, but it is on.

No. It really only tells you that it is active. I only notice the lights when I trigger the flash. They pop on momentarily...I guess signaling that it is active.

They are not visible enough from the front or back so I also have other lights on my bike . The light is extremely visible from the side though and I always like to be noticed from all angles when riding at night

In night mode the center led light stays lit to act as a tail light. When the brake lever is activated two more led lights activate as well. Would function as a tail light and brake light on it's own.

About 5-6 feet in front of bike when it is complete dark and no road lights, etc.

the light is switched at the handlebar. It does its sequential thing on its own

The light comes on and goes off after about 30 sec. If you stood still in front of the light and then moved as soon as the light went off it would come straight back on again for another 30 secs.. This would continue until there was no more movement

Unfortunately, no. The two lights I received was one white light and one red light. So I put them accordingly on my bike. There is three modes for each light: a fast blinking mode, a slow blinking mode, and a constant "on" light where it doesn't flash.

They could work as a brake and running lights, but it's depending on your car or bike.

Yes it is but it has a major problem. I won't stay in place. If you have mountain bike and you go through a lot of bumps then the light will go downwards that's why I'm looking for a new light right now. It's really cool but I would suggest you get another one.

No it only goes on when someone or something passes near it and stays on bright for approx. a minute. I have seen the light on at 5 am the next morning.

Depends on how you wire them up. Most people wire them up so that when ever your ignition switch is on, so are the lights but others like them to stay on (and drain the battery) when the bike is turned off so then you have to wire them directly to the battery or install the toggle switch which comes with them. So it all depends on your preference.

There is an on off switch. They are either on or off, It is not a day/night setting scenario.
