Daytime rear light

rozzer32

I’m looking to replace my old light that just abouts hold charge for a few hours now. I don’t ride in the dark so it is purely a day time light I’m after for the winter bike.

The two I’ve been looking at are the see sense Icon 2 and the exposure tracer reakt + peloton. The exposure appeals as it will dim for group rides which I do fair bit of. Although the see sense appears to have more features and I could turn the brightness down when going out with a group.

Anybody have an experience which the two lights above or recommend any others?

The Exposure is a great light and has different power settings so you can turn it down when riding in a group.

I returned two See Sense Ace rear lights as both stopped working [the second a replacement for the first], due to what looked like water ingress. Great light when it worked and no complaints with the customer service, but there is a flaw in the design.

Think I'm going to go for one of these - I've been using a rechargeable daytime light since a car drove through the back of me one morning a few years ago but on its brightest setting it's good for less than 2 hours. A female cyclist was killed near me yesterday on a road I sometimes ride on - HGV - I don't know the details but it's a straight road so unless she was crossing it sounds like a case of didn't see her or a close pass. You can never make 100% certain but something very bright flashing on the back of the bike gives you a bit of reassurance.
