Key Features Explained
The automatic light functions are not described as active in every mode: ambient-light sensing is specified for slow flash and breathing, while brake sensing is specified for all modes. If you plan to rely on a particular automatic function, confirm its behavior in the mode you intend to use.
The four listed runtimes vary by mode. Slow flash is listed at up to 70 hours; the other stated runtimes range from 39 to 58 hours. Consider the runtime for the mode you expect to use.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Mount fit: Check whether the adjustable strap or the two-rail saddle mount suits your bike’s rear mounting position and saddle setup.
- Mode and runtime: Compare the listed runtime for the mode you expect to use, rather than relying on the 70-hour maximum for every mode.
- Automatic behavior: Ambient-light sensing is specified only for slow flash and breathing; brake sensing is listed for all modes.
- Protection rating: The listing gives an IP66 rating. Check whether it meets your needs rather than treating the word “waterproof” as a guarantee of suitability in every condition.
Setup and Correct Use
The listing recommends fully charging the internal battery before first use. Charging is through USB-C, and the stated charge time is 2-3 hours. Choose one of the two mounting options and check that the light is held in the intended position before riding.
Before You Decide
Confirm the mount works with your bike, consider the runtime for your preferred mode, and decide whether the listed automatic functions match your needs. The listed weight is omitted because the supplied values conflict.
