According to the product specialist
Pros
| The Garmin Varia UT800 and Varia RTL515 warn you of traffic coming on from behind, and make sure you're visible night and day. |
| Both lamps come with ANT+, so you can easily pair them with other (Garmin) ANT+ devices. |
| The Garmin Varia bike light set is IPX7 certified, so you can use these lights without an issue in diverse weather conditions. |
| Light output remains constant throughout the life of the battery, inspiring confidence for every ride, even longer ones in the dark. |
| The CarBack Radar provides real-time alerts on traffic approaching from behind, increasing your control on the road. |
| The front light's powerful CREE LED provides a wide and bright beam that illuminates the entire road or trail. |
| The waterproof construction of both lights guarantees reliability in all weather conditions. |
| Ideal for use in urban environments: visible up until 2 km (1.2 mi) in the brightest setting. |
| Using the ANT+ signal, you can swiftly pair both lights to other Garmin and Bontrager devices. |
| The integrated light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness to the environmental light level. |
| The Ion Pro RT headlight has plenty of power to illuminate your every road and path. |
| You'll be visible from up to 2 kilometres away with the Flare RT rear light at its brightest setting. |
| Both lights are equipped with ANT+. This allows you to easily connect the lamps to your other Garmin and Bontrager devices with ANT+. |
| You also won't have to worry when cycling in wet weather, because the these lights' USB ports are waterproof. |
Cons
| The 800 lumen light output of the Varia is too powerful for road use in urban areas. |
| For full functionality, the CarBack Radar requires the use of an app, which means you have to have a smartphone on you. |
| The headlight has insufficient power to light up the road, so it's less suited for dark, rural areas. |
| The headlight does not come with mounts for clothing or backpacks. |
