With ACE, our design and tech team worked really hard to get this level of brightness and decent 10-hour runtime into such a tiny and neat package, absolutely ideal for all urban riding. See.Sense ACE uses around 62 little COBs that work together to shine powerfully both in daylight and at night-time, to make you visible from over a mile away (125 lumens) and give you 200° of side visibility on your commute. Basically, this means that we can offer a super bright light in a small and neat package. Better Together - What Are The Benefits Of COB?Īs COB LEDs are multi-chip packages, they can increase the lighting area significantly and avoid glare at the same time, which is why they are perfect for our lights. And when it light up, it appears like more of a lighting panel than multiple individual lights if that makes sense. Multi LED chips are packed closley together as one lighting module. COB, or Chip on Board is a fairly new member of the LED family. Taking you back to your secondary school days for a few moments here. Many of our customers just love the fact that our technology starts with just a small team of people working together to make cool cycling products. We employ our very own talented hardware engineer Caleb (who is often found soldering at his own mini workstation in our spare office). We are proud to say that we continue to develop all of our tech in-house (and everything else for that matter), with the hardware being one of the first and most important steps of bringing a new light onto the market. There’s a full comparison breakdown here, but for this blog, we thought we would take it back to basics and talk about the hardware and light output in a bit more detail. We’ve been getting a few questions from customers asking about the main differences between our two most recent lights, ACE and ICON2. We’ve been around the block a few times… It’s now been over five years since we made our first ever light, so we like to think that we know a thing or two about LEDs, lenses, sensors and all things intelligent bike lights.
