How visible is the Superflash 65 during daytime riding?

The Superflash 65 was engineered to be noticed in daylight as well as at night. Its Superflash mode outputs 65 lumens focused across a 220° field, improving lateral visibility from cross-traffic and vehicles. While environmental conditions affect perception, the unit is reported to be visible at long distances under clear conditions.

What are the run times and power requirements?

• Low/eco and Courtesy modes extend up to 90 and 45 hours respectively
