Bottom line
Using accelerometers, the Zecto Drive Alert changes modes and increases brightness upon slowing, to act as a brake light. Reviewers say they don’t know how drivers interpret this light’s alert sequences, but do agree that they act effectively as attention-grabbers. At times, the light ‘brakes’ when owners are simply slowing down. In ‘Daytime’ mode, the 80-lumen glow gives great visibility. Some users express concerns over battery life. In response, Lezyne have recently modified the design to increase it by 30%.Expert Reviews
