V3-F Vintage Light Front

The initial batch is currently available exclusively through our dealers.
Orders placed through our official store will be shipped from the next restock, expected in late June.

*Please note that when installing on a Brompton, a separate bracket (SS-03) is required.

 

Development Story

The Vintage Light V2, launched in June 2021, was a game-changer at a time when "vintage design = dim light" was a common perception. It gained popularity for its classic aesthetics combined with practical brightness (300 lumens).

However, we received valuable feedback from users, including:

• “I want to be able to remove just the light body from the stainless frame.”
• “The body is too long, making it difficult to manage cables.”

Taking these requests into account, we redesigned the light for better usability, resulting in the all-new Vintage Light V3.

 

We recommend for 

✔ Want a classic custom look for their bike
✔ Are looking for a unique front light
✔ Need both style and practicality
✔ USB Type-C charging is a must-have
✔ Prefer a more compact design than the V2
✔ Find small lights too discreet but don’t want an oversized unit

Key Features

① Inspired by Stage Spotlights – A Vintage Light with a Modern Twist

KiLEY has developed various front lights, including bullet lights, eye lights, and vintage lights. Now, the Vintage Light V3 continues the legacy of V2 while introducing meaningful upgrades.
By making it lighter and more compact, we enhanced usability without sacrificing the nostalgic vintage aesthetic.

Inspired by stage spotlights, the V3 is more than just a bike light—it's a piece of art, where light and metal blend to create a beautiful visual expression.

②Vintage Design with 300 Lumens & USB Type-C Charging

KiLEY prioritizes design, but that doesn’t mean compromising on functionality.

• 300 lumens—bright enough for urban streets with streetlights
• 10+ hours of runtime, ideal for commuting & night rides
• USB Type-C charging, ensuring fast and convenient charging

3) Lighter and more compact body than the V2. Improved usability.

Compared to the 95mm length of V2, the V3 is only 58.5mm—nearly half the size. This compact design also means a 37% reduction in weight, making it lighter and easier to install.

 Body can now be removed from the stainless frame for easy charging

Weighs only 66g, significantly reducing the burden on your ride

 Front ring with cut-outs to optimize weight reduction

Brass logo ring, adding a premium vintage touch

SS-01 stays are included; for use with BROMPTON, please prepare SS-03 stays separately.

To charge, simply twist the front ring to expose the USB port.

There is an M5 screw on the bottom of the body. Installation methods are flexible depending on your imagination.

Message from the Designer 

KiLEY CEO "Louis"

We knew how popular the V2 was, but we wanted to offer KiLEY users—especially vintage bike lovers—a new, more compact, and lightweight option.
The V3’s design draws inspiration from classic stage spotlights, blending metal craftsmanship with advanced precision manufacturing.
Classic spotlights are more than just lighting tools—they are sculptors of light and shadow, storytellers of space. We adopted this concept into the V3, allowing it to not only illuminate your ride but also enhance your cycling experience aesthetically.

To achieve this level of lightweight compactness, we are required high-precision CNC metal processing. The aluminum alloy body is precisely sculpted, and the hand-polished finish creates a stunning metallic shine.
As a result, the light reflects off the metal surface beautifully, transforming it from a simple bike light into a piece of metallic art.

 

Product Overview

*Due to the nature of lithium-ion batteries, prolonged periods of disuse may accelerate battery deterioration. To extend battery lifespan, we recommend charging the unit once every few months, even when not in use.
