The Urban is a beautifully designed light in which form meets function in a small and powerful package. The Urban 180, 300 and NEW Urban 500s are packed with features and deliver more lumens per gram than anything in their class.
The Urban projects a powerful and graduated beam of bright white light to provide the cyclist with high visibility and a long-line of sight – See and Be Seen. One touch High-Medium-Low-Flash provides multiple output settings for urban riding in dense traffic day or night.
The amber side emitters of the Urban provide cyclists greater visibility at intersections where over 70% of accidents occur.
The Urban delivers accurate battery charge status, so you are never left wondering if you will make it home on the current charge. And, the all-in-one system means that there are no external batteries or cables. This rechargeable system saves you more than $800 over the life of the light vs. throw-away battery type lights and is better for the planet too!
With amber side emitters for 180 degrees of visibility, tool-less mounting for bar and helmet, and an accurate battery gauge indicator, the Urban answers the performance and safety requirements of the most ardent commuter.
If you are heading to Interbike this week stop by and check out our new line of lights! Light & Motion will be at booth #19105.
Need your light to do double duty? Then the Adventure Headstrap is calling your name. An excellent accessory for the cyclists who likes to run, jump, and climb and not limit his/her adventure to daylight, it’s make to be used with any of our Stella or Seca lights.
“I took out my new Multi-sport Head Strap in the Canyons in the Mojave Desert which involved some technical running and scrambling. The new head strap is stellar. The light has a solid point of attachment, cable routing, and the fabric is soft and comfortable. But, most importantly, it’s very stable on my head with it’s duo – back of the head – straps. I was able to run even with my powerful and heavier Seca 1400 … sheer pleasure in the cold winter night” – Cyril Jay-Rayon Founder & Team Captain Dart-nuun-SportMulti
Check out the headstrap in action over on the Dart-nuun-SportMultu team site.
We’ll have the strap for sale on our site soon, but you can also check with your local independent bike dealer to see if they carry them!
MTBR just posted a great wrap-up and thorough review of the current lights available to riders. While there are some companies introducing lights with even more claimed Lumens than the Seca 1400, their beam patterns are still inefficient and throw up a good percentage of unusable light far above where any rider needs to see. Out of all the test photos, the Seca 1400 is easily spotted as the brightest option giving tribute to the extensive R&D developing the best possible beam reflector.
Light and Motion Seca 1400 – at $699, this 1400 lumen light measured in at 110 lux on our meter. The standout here is how efficiently that light is utilized. It has the widest beam from close to mid range. And with 110 lux, it throws just about as far as most riders will need. And it still chops off the top of the beam pattern to avoid waste.
On the other end of the spectrum, Magicshine seems to be flickering away, apparently having cut too many corners, their products are now faced with failed batteries and chargers – and now encouraging it’s customers to “stop use immediately”

For out-and-out riding performance there is no question that the Seca 1400 wins hands-down. With a superb, smooth placement of its 1,400 lumens it was nothing short of daylight on the trail.
Check out the review our beloved Seca 1400 just received from Mountain Bike Rider over in the UK. The only light to get 10 out of 10:
“Judged on a combination of light power and placement, the Seca 1400 was definitely the favourite light among all our testers. Although it packs only 1,400 lumens compared to the 6Pack’s 1,800, the intelligent placing of the Seca’s beam actually makes it the better light off-road.
A mixture of a long-range clear lens with frosted-lens close-quarter LEDs gives the perfect light shape for trail riding, throwing most of the beam where you need it most. The near and middle distance are smoothly illuminated with brilliantly bright, wide-angled soft light, and while the spot can’t quite match the 6pack’s power, it’s more than adequate in isolation.
The battery pack Velcros securely in place and a rubber band quickly and simply wraps around the bars for a swift yet very secure fastening, which can be easily removed without leaving any unsightly clamps on your handlebars.”
A good set of lights is a significant investment. We created this guide to help you make the best decision for your riding. First the key elements to look for in a light or light system:
Lumens: The measure of light delivered by the product. We publish the test results of our lights and many of our competitors. Be aware that many manufactures lights don’t come close to delivering to their claims.
Lithium Ion battery: The highest power, lightest weight batteries on the market. Li-ion batteries are commonly found in cell phones and laptops due to their light weight and high power. Unfortunately they are also the most expensive batteries on the market.
L.E.D - Light emitting diodes: These new solid state components are revolutionizing the lighting world. They are rated to last for over 20,000 hours and are the most efficient light source ever developed. They require precise voltage and current supply to take advantage of their unique power which they get from our driver circuits. They do generate heat that must be removed for them to work which is why all our lights have carefully designed heat sinks.
Beam Pattern: Lumen power is important, but a good beam directs the light where you need it. Light and Motion designs custom reflectors to create the best beam pattern for street and trail. Most of our competitors use off the shelf flashlight reflectors. Look at the edges and transitions between the spot and flood and the beam’s edges. Any bright spots or sharp edges will create distracting dancing light spots when you ride.
Smart charging: About 1/2 your light system cost is in the battery and charger if it uses lithium ion cells. A smart charger helps the battery last longer and will charge it faster.
