What reviewers are saying.

“Best daytime rear bike light”
…this thing is absolutely tiny and incredibly visible with both a disruptive light pattern and a reflector that turns the relatively low 35-lumens into a real power house.

“Trek also announced big updates to its Ion 100 R and Flare R City daytime running lights”
The biggest change is the 25% boost in run time, which is now claimed to be as much as 10 hours in daytime flashing mode.

“No matter the type of riding I’m doing, my bike always has DRLs”
I can attest that DRLs [Daytimne Running Lights] have saved me from being hit more times than I care to count. They help drivers see me coming and better judge my oncoming speed so they don’t pull out in front of me.
