Exposure Trace & Tracer MK2 lightset

£85, exposurelights.com

With legs still feeling strong from the summer and weather that is still pleasant more often than not, I’m not (yet) suffering from a lack of motivation to get out and ride in autumn. The daylight hours are not what they once were though. As my rides tend to be at the beginning of the day or the end, staying safe and seen in the dawn and dusk gloom is top priority. Exposure’s Trace and Tracer lights do that job perfectly. They are exceptionally well made – in Britain, no less – and are both sleek and durable. Run times are solid, and their disruptive flash pattern is designed to draw the attention of drivers.
