There are hundreds of bicycle lights from which to choose, but few as smart as the ICON.
The light’s output of 190 lumens (2 x 95 lumens) is by no means the highest on the market, but the ICON reacts to your situation on the road, flashing brighter & faster at roundabouts, road junctions and to approaching car headlights.
An option to link the light to your smartphone allows you to control its brightness, check how much of the battery’s 15-hour life remains. It can even send a text to warn you if your bike is being interfered with. And if you have a spill, the light detects the shock and can send an emergency text.
Win an ICON bicycle light
We have an ICON rear light worth £65 to give away. Simply leave us a comment and we will pick a name next week – we’ll do our best to get the prize to the winner by Christmas.

Just the thing for these dark Scottish nights right now.

A smart light sounds like a cool addition to the never ending quest for getting noticed on Britain’s ever increasingly scary roads.
Up next, a smart bicycle light that’s smart enough to make the morning tea. (Earl Grey, slice of lemon. That’ll do nicely, ta.)
Helen Smith
My dynamo seems to sometimes turn itself off when I stop so this is the perfect antidote to that!
Myles Gatherer
Yes please!
John Williams
My work colleague has one of these: very neat indeed.
Joanne Beale

Gemma
Technology knows no boundaries. An excellent looking piece of kit!

Thank you
Charlotte Amalie Vang
Oh that would make the perfect Christmas present for My dad in Denmark – mornings are dark there in winter!
Yasmin Gregory
“flashing brighter & faster at roundabouts, road junctions and to approaching car headlights” would certainly help to give me the confidence to try and cycle at night. I’m too scared to try it at the moment
🙁
Claire
This is brilliant (pun not intended)! Hopefully only the beginning of a new generation of bike lights to flood the market – more of these on the roads can only be a good thing for everyone!
Anna Shakoor-Green
Just what I need at the moment for dealing with city traffic on these dark nights.
Mark B
Very useful when cycling in the night
Diane T
Such freedom cycling and comfort being insured. I love reading ETA news on great technology. So much lighting choice, the IKON looks superior. I get confused and my front light doesn’t stop me being scared on roundabouts with traffic getting too close. It is quite old now though.
Thanks
Christina
Sound idea. For london cycling
Ben Pendery
Would love to try one of these out!
Charmian Allcock
Would take over nicely from the baubles, tinsel and l e d minis that are an essential part of the current round of womens’ festive rides.
LYNDA CLAYTON
A great light to make my cycle to & from work safer
Kuan
Cycle safe.
JohnG
That’s pretty cool… Now I’m wondering how it knows what to do!!
John Randall
That would be a brilliant xmas gift!

Another try with the lottery!

I G Ramsey
Commuting by bike on country lanes and in and around London this seems like a no brainer… good piece of kit!
Gavin
Interesting idea, similar to Garmin Varia, though haven’t come across the emergency text feature before
TD
Great for the mix of pitch dark, bright headlights and semi-lit roads that I cycle on.

What a bright idea…
DougMilly
Another clever idea. I’d really like one of those!
bob garrod
I’d like one of those please as i need a new rear light.
Jane C
An absolutely brilliant idea. The texting if you have an accident is a wonderful feature, would make me feel loads safer. The texting if someone’s messing with you bike would be great to, and check the battery levels is another good feature. Would be nice if you could text multiple numbers.
Carl Penny
Nice 🙂
D Darby

THE ICON!
Many lights grace the bikes of the roads, but none like the ICON, it’s smart & has modes,
With it’s 95 lumens, to light up cars and the humans,
Flashing brighter at turns, quicker the light learns,
Roundabouts & junctions it adjusts with its functions,
The smartphone is its mate, texting you – if moved, – making you late,
Ahh, the light of Kings a Knight of the road, the ICON light – so many modes.
Phillip Legg
Oooohhhh… cool light.
Love tech like this so count me in for the opportunity to win one!!
