More than just a traditional bicycle light
The product concept is not entirely new. The light was already available internationally as the Nyte Clip. For the German market, however, Sigma is specifically positioning the new Nyte Clip CL as an additional safety light for a wide range of everyday uses.
The focus here is not on its function as a traditional bicycle rear light, but on ensuring it can be used as flexibly as possible:
- jackets and waistcoats
- on rucksacks
- on bags
- children's clothing
- on the dog's collar
- whilst jogging or going for a walk
Sigma is therefore not only targeting cyclists, but all road users in general who wish to improve their visibility in the dark or in poor lighting conditions.
A clip instead of a tool
At the heart of the light is the integrated mounting clip. This allows the Nyte Clip CL to be attached to a wide variety of objects in a matter of seconds. No tools or additional mounts are required.
This approach is particularly practical in everyday life. Rather than carrying different lights for different purposes, the light can be flexibly positioned wherever extra visibility is required.
Compact, yet clearly visible
When it comes to light output, Sigma relies on a total of 36 COB LEDs. According to the manufacturer, the Nyte Clip CL offers visibility of up to 500 metres. In addition, a particularly large Viewing angle of 220 degrees ensuring that the light can be seen not only directly from behind, but also from the side. A big bonus, for example, at blind junctions.
Lightweight for everyday use
With just Weighs 19 grams The light is barely noticeable and is therefore particularly suitable for children, leisure cyclists, runners or walkers.
Thanks to the USB-C port, the built-in battery can be charged with ease. In addition, there is a IP44 splash-proof protection, which allows it to be used even in the rain or in changeable weather conditions.
Part of the RIDE SAFE TO SCHOOL initiative
Just like the new bike-loading aid Tow-up the Nyte Clip CL is also available as RIDE SAFE TO SCHOOL version on offer. With this initiative, Sigma is targeting families and children in particular. The aim is to improve visibility on the way to school and during shared leisure activities. This issue is becoming increasingly important, particularly during the darker autumn and winter months.

Conclusion from the editor’s perspective
Road safety doesn’t always have to rely on more powerful cycle lights. Often, an additional light source in the right place is enough. I’m impressed by the versatility of this light. Whether attached to a child’s school rucksack or used on an evening walk with the dog – its uses go far beyond the traditional bicycle. Stefan Frey, BIKE editor
