Was walking around Sea Otter and came across Magicshine’s booth — looks like they’re really leaning into “smart” bike lights now.
They had lights with ANT+ support, Di2 integration, and even radar tail lights. Everything’s also getting smaller and lighter, which I definitely appreciate.
But it got me thinking —
Do you guys actually use these smart features, or is it just nice-to-have?
Personally, I like the idea of auto adjustments and integration, but I’m still on the fence whether it’s a game changer or just extra complexity.
Curious what everyone here thinks:
Worth upgrading for smart features?
Or do you stick with simple lights?
