Go-Pro Powers Trek Bikes for Day-time Running Lights
LIFESTYLE ON WHEELS | LEISURE RIDES | FEATURES
Studies show riding with a flashing, daylight-visible light is the single best way for a cyclist to increase the likelihood of being seen by a driver. Bontrager leads the bicycle industry in developing lights designed to be used during the day. Our Flare R taillight was the original Daytime Running Light, and it’s still the best.
What makes a light a Daytime Running Light?
Not all lights are created equal. Brightness is important, but it takes more than a lot of lumens to make an effective Daytime Running Light. A true DRL is designed with specific focus, flash, and range to be seen from a meaningful distance during daylight hours. Without these three things, you just have a light.
Flash
Most bicycle lights use a steady flashing pattern. This pulsing is less noticeable than one that continually varies its intensity and pattern. The Day Flash setting featured on Bontrager Daytime Running Lights was created specifically to increase noticeability with varying outputs and an interruptive flash pattern.
Focus
Creating a light visible in daylight requires intentional design. By directing or amplifying output, we intensify the beam and extend its range. Without this, a light may appear bright in your hand but may not be noticed in daylight by a motorist on the road.
Range
The earlier a rider is seen, the more time a driver has to react and pass safely. Bontrager Daytime Running Lights are detectable from a greater distance than standard lights. Every model in the lineup is made to be seen from at least 400m away, and select models are designed for visibility from over 2km, even during daylight hours.
