Exposure Lights drops 2024 ranges and explains its lead technologies

Exposure Lights’ new 2024 range is now dropping on the market and is available to the trade from its updated B2B site in time for when the nights draw in.

2024 updates for Exposure’s technically advanced bicycle lights include all main Off Road and On Road front lights with upgraded lumen outputs, complementing Exposure Lights’ all-important technologies which “make riding so much more fun in every genre of cycling because the rider is more in control as the technology does the work and thinking automatically”.

Exposure lights are still designed, engineered and made in the UK from quality materials, with LEDs available and high build quality to ensure that the consumers are buying it to a product that will last. Commendably, through its customer service team, Exposure Lights supports lights from older ranges with the aim of keeping its products out of the waste stream, reducing environmental waste.

Benefit Lead Technologies explained

Exposure Lights has passed us explainers of the benefits of its technology:

OFF ROAD

REFLEX is a technology found on Exposure’s mountain bike bar lights that ensures the rider gets the light they need when they need it. Put simply, when going fast or downhill – more light, Slow or uphill – less light, all done automatically no adjusting required. Reflex Technology use 3D digital accelerometers including a gyroscope to sense movement, the light then checks with thermistors to determine what immediate changes there are in the outside temperature. Combining this information Reflex dials up or down the lumen output optimising battery power to save it for when it’s really needed. An ai profile is built up over the ride to make sure that the run times given are the run times achieved.

TAP Technology is found on most of Exposure’s helmet lights, enabling an instant change between high, medium, and low outputs all at the tap of the helmet or the light itself, no searching for a button needed.

SYNC allows riders to control the light with a remote switch and to make custom programmes in the Exposure SYNC App, additionally both helmet and handlebar lights can be controlled at the same time with a single remote via Bluetooth connectivity.

ON ROAD

AKTiv, Exposure’s road-specific bar-light technology takes inspiration for the automotive industry by automatically dipping the beam when an oncoming vehicle is detected. This avoids dazzling the driver whilst leaving ample light for the rider to see and to be safely seen. Found within the Strada range and combined with the road specific beam pattern. The Road specific beam pattern has been designed by blending a focused spot beam that throws light far down the road with a flat, spread beam that illuminates the foreground around the riders’ wheel, curb, and roadside. When the Strada is dipped the Spot decreased more than the wide beam ensuring the cyclist can still see where they are heading.

REAKT technology is the pinnacle of smart rear bike lights. Flaring up automatically under braking and intelligently adapting to the surrounding light conditions to maintain maximum contrast and visibility. By conserving power when not needed, ReAKT can then almost double the max output of non ReAKT models all while keeping the same compact and lightweight form factor.

Building on the foundations of ReAKT and in direct response to rider’s request, Peloton mode uses the same smart technology to register a cyclist’s presence behind and automatically dim its output. This means whilst in a chain gang the rider behind won’t be blinded, but once they move to the back of the pack, peloton mode will increase its output back up, keeping the whole peloton visible.

Be Seen Be Safe Bespoke pulse pattern designed for daylight use which is more conspicuous than a regular pulse and visible from over a kilometre away, even in the brightest conditions. DayBright mode will get riders noticed. Be Seen Be Safe.
