Been an advocate of Exposure lights for decades - new boost 3 and boost r reakt are just as good as always. Brighter lumens, increased run time and slightly bigger body add to the overall brilliance of these compact lights. Big enough to be seen by all - small enough to be aero. Delighted with them, truly fantastic.
Brilliant set of lights, feel really nice in the hand, look great on the bike the controls are simple when you get used to them, battery life is brilliant. Good range of different mounting options as well, I have front like on my rack and rear mounted to frame brazeon
Brilliant I cycle to early morning and afternoons, getting dark again now so I have been using the lights already. They are my favourite very light weight very bright lots of modes to use. I take them off when going into shops nice and light put them either in my backpack or pocket wouldn’t know they are there. Great battery life for such a small light. They are the best lights for me without a doubt.
Thank you very much. 👍
Superb little lights. Great quality as expected from exposure. Simple to use and change the settings using the single button, pretty intuitive once you read the user guide. Batteries last at least the advertised timings.
One suggested improvement would be to supply the lights either with more mounting brackets included, or with the option to choose the mounting bracket you need for your bike at the point of purchase. The supplied front light bracket wasn’t great and didn’t fit on the rounded section of my pretty standard drop handlebars. I opted to buy the out front gopro mount option as a result. This works well, but as an extra cost and extra wait, was mildly irritating given the premium nature of exposure products.
Regardless of this, still 5* little lights, would recommend to anyone looking for lightweight small lights which pack a punch.
I have a few bikes so I'm swapping lights instead of using a dynamo. These and the Toro are the way to go. Bright and excellent battery life. The perfect set up for me.
Honestly the coolest lights ever. I’ve never had lights on a bike before but man I don’t regret it one bit. Very simple to install and charge. The lights themselves are absolutely amazing. I highly recommend!
The old v the new . The front cowl is a bonus addition that could be useful in mid winter . The enlarged front bracket doesn't feel as strong as the previous but it works the same way . I wrapped a bit of insulation tape around the unit for a more snug fit. The new usb connection is all the better and no fiddling around to get the correct side . The charge indication isn't a lottery anymore and white amber red when you switch off is easy to see .
The rear then big changes here to the clamp and double t slot where you push in and turn to make it secure . A pretty good idea but you will need a second clamp for the summer bike . The reackt braking pulse is a novelty but to be honest you dont see it in operation . If someone sees it then they are probable too close anyway . Larger batteries and longer run times for both make up the rest of the difference . I bought direct and paid full price £150 hopefully i don't need anymore for many years .
These are the best lights I’ve owned and I’ve had many. Battery lasts ages in low power mode and when you switch them off they tell you battery percentage 😳 they are very small and beautifully made. Great for road use day and nite.
As normal you can’t get a better than Exposure lights and these are fantastic. With the long battery life and the intelligent features on the rear light you can’t get anything better.
Fantastic customer service. Quick delivery and really impressive lights. Purchased for their high lumens day flash and they certainly deliver. Currently using them in sunny Mallorca and definitely feel safer on the roads knowing the pulse is much more visible than my previous light system. I would like to see sleeker mounting options from Exposure, I think this is an issue across the industry, having to resort to smaller 3D companies for this is a little bit or miss. I’m still to find the ideal mount for the front without using a GoPro mount. How nice it would be to get a direct to out front mount to save weight and bulk. But I guess this is personal preference!
Needed lights for daylight riding, these are perfect, easily changeable between bikes gravel TT and road with different brackets. Simple to use and charge. Will be ordering a second set.
Bought these for the Doddie Grand Slam ride from Melrose to Dublin . Riding through 4 countries in 5 days means you need to see and be seen . I’ve used Exposure lights for years and know they will do the job day or night .
Great lights for daylight and dark on the road. Really bright and they last for ages, especially in flashing mode. I’m super happy them. As usual with Exposure lights, top build quality and highly functional and easy to use.
Nice lights. Very noticeable. Very high quality. Feel like they are lights for life. Wont need another set of that kind. Not enough use to give a comprehensive review though.
Fantastic! Really love this, small but mighty! Very impressed with the build quality and love the speedy charging! Highly recommend for those early or late commutes.
Superbly engineered lights.
Very bright.
Good modes.
Nice to see remaining charge.
But, the brackets seem to be an after thought and are crap:
The front bracket rattles. This is fixed with some insulating tape, but not what you expect at this price.
The rear bracket is bad. The concept, push in and twist, is interesting in an impractical geeky kind of overly complicated way. But it's too complicated, a bad design, and it does not work: Despite a spring arrangement at the back of the socket, when riding it moves and rattles. This cannot be shimmed with tape.
The bracket also fills up with crud, which in winter jams it in, making it very hard to twist and remove (the first time I had to do this it required so much force I was worried about breaking something. The rattling, and twisting against crud, will wear off the anodising (as commented on in some reviews).
The rear light needs a different bracket, far better would be a conventional side entry bracket (like the one with the trace/tracer lights).
There is a side entry mount for mounting it on saddle rails, but that means giving up using an ass saver or saddle pack.
I would consider either paying more for a Flare or less for a Trace-r, as they seem to have better thought out brackets, or just leave it in the bracket and remove the whole thing from the bike.
Exposure, please make a simple side entry seat post mount like you do for your other lights.
Overall a 5 star review for the lights and 0 star review for the current brackets.
OK. Not amazing, not poor. Build quality is good and the light output is OK, but the user interface is not intuitive and the plastic lenses scratch easily. The front light makes sense, but the rear light shape sticks out quite far from the seatpost. I have read good things about Exposure, but these lights weren't as class leading as I was expecting.
