Can anyone help me find front lights with a throbbing/breathing mode?

So far I can only find the follow:
Lezyne Hecto Drive (pulse mode)

    Exposure Trace do. Probably other Exposure ones too. It's not really quite a seeing where you go kind of light though. Just a be seen one.

    My Knog Blinder 1s have this mode. But again, they're only small 'be seen' lights.

    Cateye Rapid X front does.
    Its a bit of an 'out of breath' breath though. Quite fast.

    The Rapid X (front and rear standard size) are made in Japan too :wink:

    Is this for a non bike use by any chance?

    I just want to use them as "be seen" lights for darker days and solo rides.

    I can't stand the normal flashing/strobe lights you seen on bikes all the time. The breathing mode is much 'calmer' and just as visible in my opinion.

    I found a few options for the rear (Smart R2, Cygolight Hotshot, Lezyne Hecto/Micro Drive) but couldn't find many front lights with this same sort of slow pulse effect.

    I will have a look at your suggestions... any others?!

    Had a look at the suggestions...

    Exposure Tracer - Could only find one video but it doesn't appear to 'breathe'... just constant on with a fast pulse?

    Knog 1 - Better, but again no pure slow breathing mode.

    Cateye Rapid - Almost... as you say it's much too fast but the effect is correct.

    To clarify, this is the effect I'm looking for, just on a front light instead:

    Not sure a 'breathing' mode will be all that visible on a front light during the day.

    A Knog Blinder on alternate flash (It has two lenses) is a great front light for daytime use.
