Light and Motion release new Vibe smart lights

The variable pulses are 'designed for maximum visibility to other road users' and the Vibe Pro HL headlight actually senses ambient light, pulsing in the daytime and remaining steady at night.  

The headlight gives out 200 lumens at its most powerful, with a run time of two hours on night mode. In day mode, it runs for six hours. The light attaches to a quarter-turn mount which activates the smart sensors, meaning recharging is a simple affair via a USB port.  

The Pro rear light has 100 lumens of power, six hours of run time and the same safe pulse beam pattern as the headlight. The low profile mount is built to solve a common problem faced by night riding cyclists, namely attaching a rear light and saddle bag simultaneously to a seatpost; Vibe PRO TL’s low-profile mount takes up far less space to leave room for both, and there is also a mount included which allows you to fit the light directly to your seatpost. 

All the Vibe lights are certified waterproof up to 1 metre submerged, with the Vibe Pro HL priced at £49.99, the Pro RL £59.99 and standard Vibe taillight (with slightly less power at 50 lumens) £39.99. They are all availalble to order now with delivery time expected before winter. 

Lights galore

 In other news beamed down to road.cc Towers today, it's been announced that Cateye have just released some wearable lights so you can be 'seen from all angles'. The wearable is meant to be used alongside bike-mounted lights and loops to fit around your ankles and bar ends. The versatile rear light can clip onto backpacks, jersey or jacket pockets, giving up to 30 hours of battery life on flashing mode for some extra visibility.
