Magicshine Seemee 100 Smart Bike Tail Light Review + feat. Brake Sensor + Light Sensor + 100 Lumen
Magicshine has recently released a number of new Seemee taillights that combine smart features with impressive output. In this review, we’ll be looking specifically at the Magicshine Seemee 100 one of the more affordable variations that has dual element LED design. The Seemee 100 is quite affordable at only $34.99 for the features, and also boasts a maximum of 100 lumens of output. With this latest generation of tail lights, Magicshine has incorporated both an ambient light sensor as well as a brake sensor. These two sensors allow the taillight to automatically adjust the output based on the current conditions as well activate a boosted output mode during deceleration to attract attention. The Magicshine Seemee 180 has a tall rectangular profile with a lens design that utilizes transparent optical fibers. There is a two part illumination pattern, a vertical center line and a rectangular outer ring that surrounds it. You’ll find the Magicshine logo ghosted onto the left and right sides of the housing. With the light off, the lens is not visible from side angles, which initially had us worried about side visibility. However, part of the housing surrounding the lens of the Seemee 100 is transparent and becomes illuminated when the light is on allowing for 260 degrees of visibility. The Seemee 100 comes with two mounts out of the box: a seat post mount and a saddle rail mount. While the seatpost mount has the same design as most mounts, a plastic mount with flexible rubber strap, Magicshine has added a clever design detail. The portion of the seat post that sits against the seat post has a rounded profile for standard seat tubes as well as a second rounded cutout. This second cutout allows the seatpost mount to also work on aero seat posts that have sharper trailing edges which would cause typical seat posts mounts to not sit flush. With a simple second cutout, Magicshine has created an easy to use seatpost mount that should work with nearly any seatpost. Not only did Magicshine integrate a brake sensor into the Seemee 100, they also added an ambient light sensor. Unlike the Seemee 200 which also uses the sensor to determine if the downward facing LED should be activated, with the Seemee 100 the sensor is only used for the smart output mode. If the sensor detects higher ambient light, the smart mode has a slower on-off flash output (better suited for daytime riding). In low-light situations, the output mode switches to a low power - high power flash setting to improve nighttime visibility. We preferred to ride with the smart mode as it allows the Seemee 100 to automatically choose the best mode for the conditions. This provides a similar experience as the Light and Motion Vya Pro or Bontrager Flare RT and is one of our favorite features... ...
