How Does it Work?
As the wheelchair caster rolls forward or backward, a self generating power system (magnet ring) supplies a small electric charge to power each LED light. The faster the wheelchair caster rolls, the more the LED's light up. Even though there are only 4 small LED lights per side, once rolling they give the impression the entire wheel is covered in lights! In fact the LED light is bright enough to be seen up to 300 meters away making these caster wheels an excellent safety device while using your wheelchair at night.
Fitment Notes
This lighted wheelchair caster assembly will replace 5 x 1 inch caster wheels found on Quickie, Top End (Invacare), Colours, and many other wheelchair brands. Some TiLite wheelchairs use 3/8" ID bearings and these caster wheels will not work. Regardless of wheelchair brand, it is always advisable to confirm your size using the guide below.

Installation Notes
Installing these caster wheels on your wheelchair is the same as any other except that you need to create a little friction by tightening your axle to a point to make the lights work. If your axle is too tight, you will hear a clicking sound. If no lights are seen, your axle is not tight enough.
Measuring your existing wheelchair caster:
Purchasing the proper wheelchair caster is as simple as measuring the old one. Even if the size is written on the existing caster, you still want to make sure the hub width and bearing size will be correct. Properly measuring will ensure you order the correct caster and prevent an installation headache and the hassle of sending them back.

Cute wheels, March 8, 2022 By Anonymous (Kissimmee, FL)(Verified)
I wouldn't say they light up all around the wheel. There are maybe 3 or 4 parts of the wheel that light up as it is spinning. It does not light up all around unless you are going really really fast which unless your racing professionally in a wheelchair, it is not safe to go fast. They're cute and they light up just not as much as they say they light up. I'm hoping with some time, they will loosen up a little and light up more but we just needed new front wheels for my sons chair since one of his light up wheels stopped working. They do what they are intended to do and that is to get him from point A to point B.
