Small Irish company See.Sense created quite the buzz with its original intelligent LED flashers, which were not only ludicrously bright but automatically adjusted their intensity and flashing patterns to suit the surrounding conditions. The concept was brilliant – literally and figuratively – and now the company has made it even better with the debut of the new Icon series.
It's brighter
See.Sense’s previous flagship rear light boasted up to 155 lumens of output, which was already insanely bright for a dedicated flasher. The new Icon, however, cranks that figure up to a whopping 250 lumens (or 420 lumens for the front), virtually guaranteeing that approaching drivers will notice you. That brightness comes courtesy of two CREE emitters, both with equal intensities but with different lenses – one for focused, long-distance visibility and the other for an impressive viewing angle up to 180 degrees.

As before, See.Sense’s suite of onboard sensors will automatically adjust the light’s brightness and flashing pattern based on its surroundings. For example, Icon will boost power to the LEDs and flash more rapidly when it senses approaching car headlights (at nighttime only) or when it senses that you’re approaching an intersection, and it’ll shine brighter during daytime hours than at night.
In addition to improving the rider’s visibility, this also boosts battery life. See.Sense claims up to fifteen hours of run time at full power – three more than its predecessor.
It's smarter
It has a better case design
And it's even cheaper (sort of)
