Pictured on an aero seatpost; it really couldn't be any neater and the enhanced functions look set to make this Irish invention one of the bike game's real winners of 2014.
Every now and again innovative kit comes on the market that really catches your eye. These lights from Irish company See.Sense fit into that category.
First off, they're really small and neat and they look great; always a good start, especially for a piece of kit normally produced without much of an eye on design.
The company is owned by Newtownards couple Irene and Philip McAleese; a behavioural scientist and engineer by profession, respectively.
They've given up their jobs in the corporate world to focus on growing their business.
Their sales and marketing manager is Ross Blayney, the former Irish international road racer.

The new lights have won a series of innovation awards, with the product now on sale having initially raised funding through the Kickstarter route.
As well as being perhaps the neatest and best looking light around, it also contains sensors responsive to the changing environment cyclists find themselves in.
So it gets brighter and flashes more when the roads are darker or when there are more obstacles to negotiate, even responding to roundabouts in the road ahead.
Have a look at the clip and photos below. We think these lights are fantastic and are going to prove a real winner for those behind the idea.
What it's all about

Out of the box
This is what three of the lights look like out of the box; the green strip, front centre, is strong and flexible silicon and hooks around the handlebars or frame to hold the light in place.
Around the back
The curved back of the light ensures it fits neatly onto any bike, with the silicon strip small enough to keep everything tight with no rattles.
Look at the size of that
When you see the light in the context of a full bike frame, the See Sense's tiny size and its neatness are really emphasised. It looks at one with the bike.
Close up
Close up it looks really slick; the choice of colours the silicon clip and frame comes in turns it into a funky accessory for a bike, not just a light to keep you safe.
Up front on the bars
It's so small on the bars you wouldn't even know it's there, yet it's still a really powerful light that will make you seen on dark country lanes out training or busy streets on your commute.
Front and centre headlight
Okay, we don't get out much, but this is the first bike light we've ever seen that can wrap around the front of your frame just as easy as your handlebars
