Frequently Asked Questions
Customer Reviews
Game changer for night rides
I commute home after dark and this light has made me feel so much safer. Cars actually slow down behind me now instead of zooming past.
Great product, battery could be better
The light is super bright and the auto-brake detection works perfectly. My only complaint is that the battery drains faster than advertised if you use the always-on mode.
Worth every penny
After a close call with a car that didn't see me, I decided to invest in better visibility. This light is bright, reliable, and the app is actually useful for tracking battery life.
