When is Black Friday 2023?
Black Friday is an annual consumer event famous for brands discounting everything from tech and gadgets to bikes and kit. This year, it takes place on Friday 24 November.
It’s followed by Cyber Monday on 27 November, but over the last few years we’ve seen retailers start their deals weeks in advance.
Fewer people will be wanting to hit the shops this year, so brands are likely to take advantage of this and share their best offers online rather than in-store.
Whether bike lights are on your wishlist or you know a cycling enthusiast who needs some, you’ll find the best bike light Black Friday deals right here.
Are bike lights deals on Black Friday worth waiting for?
Last year, we saw huge reductions on bike light prices from brands including Light & Motion, Guee, Exposure and Blackburn.
There were big opportunities not only to save on single bike lights, but also on sets. On several occasions, we also saw those with an RRP over £100 dropping to £40.
As always, it's worth referring to tools such as Camel Camel Camel to ensure deals are as good as they seem.
