A built in ambient light sensor provides auto-brightness control, and the included Quick Connect bracket offers simple removal for recharging via the included USB cable.
35 Lumens of power and the wide visibility angle of the Flare R City tail light make you the biggest distraction on the city streets, day or night.

Bontrager daytime running lights are compact and powerful and feature an interruptive flash pattern that's daytime visible from up to 2km away.

When you use a flashing tail light during the day, studies show you’re up to 240% more noticeable than a rider using no lights at all.
Not all lights are created equal. A true DRL is designed with specific focus, flash, and range to be seen from a meaningful distance during the day. Without these three things, you just have a light.
