I think the drawback to senso only is that, according to Eric's post, you cannot run the full light during daylight. Like many cars and all motorcycles do. That would be a design flaw in my book. On Tuesday, March 8, 2016 at 9:07:48 AM UTC-5, David Banzer wrote: > > I'm curious about the

I too have an Eyc with daytime running mode and automatic senso-whatever switching. The Eyc does not respond to/get confused by oncoming vehicle lights, but it does flash the daytime high-beam lights when going under Chicago's brighter streetlamps. I am not fond of that. The flashing

I had the cateye reflex auto light and it would not come on as early as i would have liked in overcast weather. The manual version works great though. Both can be seen from the side, too. I hopefully will get around to wiring up my spanninga rear light one day. That way it will just run all

I have several B Senso-enabled headlights and they never switch off with oncoming traffic. The sensors are in the rear and sense ambient light. The light from car headlights is probably too focused to register with the sensor. Anton On Tuesday, March 8, 2016 at 10:58:11 AM UTC-5, William!

The switch turns the light ( and the taillight) on and off. When it's on, the senso feature is always activated. Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy > On Mar 8, 2016, at 2:17 PM, Joe Broach wrote: > > Senso only is a bummer. So, what

Senso only is a bummer. So, what does the switch do? Off or Senso? Does the tail light at least stay on? I've only had senso on the older IQ Fly lights, and it's OK but turns lights on a little later than I'd prefer. Overtaking car headlights fool it sometimes, too, even when mounted on the curb

I should also mention this – I noticed an immediate difference when I started using this light during the day. Drivers pulled out in front of me or cut me off far less frequently. I'd recommend anyone using a dynamo setup keep there lights on, and I’d recommend anyone in the market take a look at

I’ve been using another B Senso light (the Eyc T) for a few years and have never had an issue with it switching off when it shouldn’t. The daytime brightness seems to be quite reasonable, and most of the beam at night is focused where it should be (on the path in front of me). I’ve never had

Haven't tried it, but I think it would take more than an oncoming car to make it switch. The manual says the light waits a few seconds before switching when conditions change, to keep the output from fluctuating too much. --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter:

I'm curious about the senso-only mode. Does it work well? My concern would be oncoming traffic lights making the IQ think that there's sufficient light and switch to daytime lights. Maybe I'm overthinking this one. David Chicago On Saturday, March 5, 2016 at 8:33:24 PM UTC-6, Eric Norris wrote:
