Specifically, the control module 11 is used as a control core of the bicycle lamp 10, the communication module 12 is electrically connected to the control module 11, and is used as a communication window of the bicycle lamp 10, it should be understood that the present utility model is not limited to the arrangement of the communication module 12, and the communication module 12 and the control module 11 may be integrated on a single chip or may be separately arranged on a chip. The communication module 12 is controlled by the control module 11 to communicate with another bicycle lamp 30, so that the bicycle lamp 10 is connected to the other bicycle lamp 30, and in one embodiment, the communication module 12 is in wireless communication with the other bicycle lamp 30.

The operation members 13 are exposed on the surface of the bicycle lamp 10 and are electrically connected to the control module 11, at least one of the operation members 13 is operated to control the control module 11 to control the light-emitting state of the bicycle lamp 10, and at least another of the operation members 13 is operated to make the control module 11 send a light-emitting combined control signal 111 to the communication module 12, wherein the light-emitting combined control signal 111 is transmitted to the another bicycle lamp 30 through the communication module 12, so that the light-emitting state of the another bicycle lamp 30 is controlled, for example, the light-emitting state of the another bicycle lamp 30 is turned on or off, the light-emitting state of the another bicycle lamp 30 is maintained, or the light-emitting frequency of the another bicycle lamp 30 is changed.

The at least one status indicator 14 is electrically connected to the control module 11, and visually indicates the light-projecting status of the other bicycle lamp 30 on the bicycle lamp 10, for example, a lamp color, a flashing frequency of the light, etc. can be used as the indication effect of the at least one status indicator 14, and the indication effect is performed based on the signal sent or received by the control module 11 to the communication module 12.

The implementation of the bicycle lamp 10 will be described in more detail. Referring to fig. 1, 3 and 4, assuming that the bicycle lamp 10 is not connected to the other bicycle lamp 30 initially, after the bicycle lamp 10 is connected to the other bicycle lamp 30, the bicycle lamp 10 communicates with the other bicycle lamp 30 through the communication module 12, the communication module 12 receives a current status signal 31 sent by the other bicycle lamp 30, and the current status signal 31 describes the current light-projecting status of the other bicycle lamp 30 and is transmitted to the control module 11. At this time, the control module 11 generates a prompt signal 112 based on the received current status signal 31 to control the at least one status indicator 14 to generate a corresponding visual prompt effect. After that, when the operating members 13 are used for controlling the other bicycle lamp 30 to be operated and then generate an operating signal 130, the control module 11 generates the light-emitting combined control signal 111 based on the operating signal 130 and sends the light-emitting combined control signal 111 to the communication module 12, the light-emitting combined control signal 111 changes the light projecting state of the other bicycle lamp 30, and the control module 11 generates a prompt changing signal 113 based on the sent light-emitting combined control signal 111 to control the at least one state prompting member 14, so that the at least one state prompting member 14 changes the visual prompting effect.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the present utility model enables the bicycle lamp 10 to control the other bicycle lamp 30 in a combined manner by the arrangement of the communication module 12, thereby improving the problem caused by the individual independent control of the conventional bicycle lamp 10. Meanwhile, the present utility model also generates a prompt based on the current status signal 31 received by the control module 11 and the light-emitting combined control signal 111 sent by the control module 11 through the at least one status prompt 14, so that the rider can quickly and directly determine the current light-emitting status of the other bicycle lamp 30 through the current visual prompt effect of the at least one status prompt 14 without affecting riding.
