Similarly, the bicycle lights at that time should seem cool even if we look at them now, but in terms of practicality, there are many people who avoid it from the viewpoint of safety, or because it is just a decoration.
KiLEY designer Louis Thought。
「It is regrettable that the design at that time will be lost, so let's make it ourselves」
Then this old but new vintage light was completed.

- USB rechargeable, which is rare for vintage design lights
Many people think of KiLEY's light as a silver body machined from aluminum with an elegant luster. This vintage light is just one of them.
It is finished in a design that harmonizes old and new while designing to remember some nostalgia.
Functionality is unavoidable because it is selected by design。。。
Perhaps many people choose the light because of that, and it is true that this vintage light is not as waterproof as the light with the latest functions. Many would have thought that the light should have more brightness and duration.
In that respect, this light also considers the balance. The continuous lighting time is about 11 hours at the front and about 86 hours at the rear. The front has a maximum of 300 lumens, ensuring sufficient practicality.
※See comparison table for detailed specifications
Of course, most vintage lights decades ago are battery operated, but what about the lights you are using now? Probably a lot of USB rechargeable lights. This vintage light is also familiar to everyone and is easy to use.

Comment from the person in charge of the manufacturer
LOUIS
"This vintage light was designed with the image of a retro bicycle light that is rarely seen nowadays.
The assembly process of each part is all manual work by craftsmen. This time, there were two particularly difficult points.
The first is the stainless steel frame that surrounds the light body. You need to manually bend the stainless steel frame 12 times to get this structure."
「The other point is the front ring. The contact point between the main body and the ring must be adjusted by a craftsman to prevent water from entering the inside.
Due to these circumstances, the number of vintage lights produced is limited. I would like you to take this opportunity to get it and combine it with your car.
