Author Pilot Smart Rear Light: Your Ultimate Road Safety
Looking for uncompromised safety for your bike rides? The
Author Pilot rear light combines extreme performance, cutting-edge technology, and a sleek design. Thanks to 68 COB LEDs with a maximum output of up to 120 lumens, no driver will miss you, even in broad daylight. Additionally, the wide 270° beam angle ensures you are perfectly visible from the sides when riding through intersections.
Smart Sensors That Think for You
- The light features an integrated brake and motion sensor. As soon as you slow down, the light automatically shines at maximum brightness (120 lm) for 3 seconds, instantly warning anyone behind you. The motion sensor detects when you stop and helps efficiently save battery power.
Battery Life You Can Count On
- With a built-in 500 mAh battery, the Author Pilot offers up to 30 hours of runtime on a single charge. No more fear of a dead battery in the middle of the night – if the battery drops to a critical level, Safe Mode activates automatically. This ensures the light flashes for another 1 hour so you can reach your destination safely. You can easily recharge the light in just 2 hours using a modern USB-C port.
Durable Body and Versatile Mounting
- Made of highly durable polycarbonate, the light features an IP65 waterproof rating, so you don't have to worry about heavy rain. Plus, the package includes two types of mounts – allowing you to attach the light either traditionally to the seatpost or elegantly right under the saddle.
