They are better than what you'll find at Walmart.

Both are excellent bicycle lights. The Superflash is hard to beat without spending a lot more money, though there are some cheaper lights that are 80% as good, such as this one and a lot cheaper.

The Blaze 1w is one of the best lights of it's class. Rugged, bright, etc. But you can get a whole lot more light for a little more money by going with the P7 flashlights but it's less rugged, or triple the money and get 8x the light with a Magicshine.

Ultimately, you've picked a good light set, and that's a good price for the set.
