According to the product specialist
Pros
Always the right light mode: thanks to the ambient light sensor, the Flare R City automatically adjusts the light intensity. |
The Quick Connect bracket makes the light easy to mount to, and remove from, your bike's seat post. |
Ideal light to use in urban areas, where you are visible from up to 400 metres away. |
Wide angle of visibility, making you stand out more in town. |
The Wide Angle Optics lens provides 270° visibility. Thus, the light can also be seen from either side of you, making you more visible to surrounding traffic. |
Includes a daytime running mode to make you more visible to surrounding traffic during the day. |
The Stick Drive has an integrated USB stick for cable-free charging. |
The Stick Drive has an IPX7 water-resistance rating, which means it will survive heavy rainfall or submersion in water. |
Fits both round and aero seatposts. |
The Wide Angle Optics lens provides 180° visibility. The light can also be seen on the side of the lamp, making you more visible to traffic around you. |
The Lezyne Femto USB Drive can last up to 15 hours. |
With an IPX7 rating, the Femto USB Drive is well waterproof. So it is no problem to leave the light on your bike when it rains. |
Easy to attach to almost all seat posts with the silicone fixing strap. |
Cons
-
The light output of 30 lumens may not suffice in foggy conditions, for example. A stronger rear light, such as the Lezyne Strip Drive, may be a better solution in such cases. |
The Femto USB Drive is not really suitable for daytime running lights. For this you need a stronger taillight. |
