The ICON2 are slim and really lightweight.

There's also a 16-hour battery life in full power reactive flash mode. This makes you visible up to 3km (3000 metres) away and gives you 270-degrees of side visibility - according to the Northern Ireland-based company. The ICON2 has 300 lumens in the rear and 400 in the front, with each light containing two different types of LEDs (for both a focused and dispersed beam). They’ll also work as a brake light and, working in conjunction with the app, they can even act as a bike theft monitor. When cycling in less well-lit areas, the light will adjust its brightness to ensure you are always illuminated to the correct level. For instance, if you're approaching a roundabout, the backlight could flash faster and brighter to ensure you are seen by anyone behind you. The clever, sensor-reactive lights use the data they collect in real-time to adjust the lighting based on your surroundings. That’s all thankfully been fixed with Icon.The See.Sense bicycle lights a re designed for you to be seen on the road without creating glare for other road users. It was a bit clumsy to mount in certain applications, the gesture-based on/off switch was novel but frustrating, and the front light wasn’t shielded from the rider. Most of our complaints with See.Sense’s previous light were related to its physical case design. McAleese says the sensors are so dialed in, in fact, that it can detect high-friction road surfaces commonly used in many European intersections, meaning Icon can flash brighter and faster through those higher-risk areas even when you aren’t slowing down. According to See.Sense co-founder Philip McAleese, Icon can actually detect how it’s mounted – be it on your bike, your helmet, or bag – and then adjust its motion sensitivities accordingly. And if you’re running low on battery power, you can tell the app exactly how much time you need to get to your destination and the system will adjust the brightness from there to get you there safely.Ī snap-on rubber shroud (shown on the left) preserves your night vision by blocking some of the peripheral light but still remains highly visible to drivers: a snap-on rubber shroud (shown on the left) preserves your night vision by blocking some of the peripheral light but still remains highly visible to driversĪ new add-on shroud (shown on the left) helps preserve your night vision when using the front lightĮven the onboard sensors themselves have grown smarter. An optional function will detect potholes and other road damage, and then send that information on to the appropriate agencies for logging (and hopefully, repair).
For example, a proposed ‘peloton mode’ will detect if other Icon users are in your group so that only the lights at the back of the pack are at full brightness. See.Sense envisions quite a few truly advanced features later down the road, too. There’s even a crash detection function that will automatically send an alert (through your phone) if the system detects that you’ve been in an accident. stay tuned for a more comprehensive review once the companion app is more fully developedĪs with the previous version (shown at right), Icon will automatically adjust its brightness and flashing pattern based on surrounding conditions stay tuned for a more comprehensive review once the companion app is more fully developed: as you can see, we’ve already been putting the new see.sense icon (left) through its paces for the past few weeks.
