Garmin has introduced a smart bicycle light

Garmin introduces the Varia UT800 Smart bicycle headlamp with 800 lumens and weighing only 130 grams. It provides bright continuous light for an hour and a half ride and, when connected to an Edge bike computer, you can automatically adjust the intensity of the beam according to changing light conditions and cyclist speed.

It makes riding safer in all conditions: day and night, on bicycle paths in the city and country highways. ā€œThe smart headlamp comes in handy for athletes, family outings, and those who commute to work by bicycle. Varia UT800 Smart lights exactly the area of the route and with the intensity that is necessary for visibility, orientation and accident-free driving in given conditions of external light. If the rider is speeding, the headlight automatically ā€œraisesā€ the beam of light and thereby increases the range of vision.

In the daytime, the headlamp light is visible at a distance of over 1.6 km. The Varia UT800 includes five levels of light brightness ā€“ high, medium and low ā€“ as well as flashing modes for daytime and nighttime. At 800 lumens, the Varia UT800 will shine as brightly as possible, so you can see obstacles at highway speeds. Low speed reduces headlight brightness to conserve battery life. At high speed, the Varia UT800 Smart headlamp can accompany a ride for 1.5 hours, at low speed it guarantees enough light for 6 hours.

Dan Barthel, Garminā€™s vice president of global user sales.ā€œAs leaders in cycling technology, we are pleased to add the Varia UT800 to our line of innovative Varia products that improve cyclist safety,ā€ notes ā€“ The Varia UT800 smart headlamp, designed for use on city streets and out of town, includes five different light modes. This headlamp shines brighter and longer, making cyclists feel more confident.ā€.

With the bike mount, itā€™s easy to mount on a handlebar or to attach to a helmet. Connecting the Varia UT800 Smart to the Edge bike computer expands the Variaā€™s range of features: the user can automatically switch the headlight on and off, adjust the light intensity according to ambient conditions, sunrise or sunset time and speed, and automatically control the power supply to activate power saving mode if necessary.

Garmin

Garminā€™s smart headlamp features a compact and modern design. Compatible with Garmin Edge devices Edge 520, Edge Explore 820, Edge 820, Edge Explore 100, Edge 1000 with light sensor.
