Cycplus L7 tail light/radar

hello, I'll try to add something too, I was also hesitant, what kind of radar, yes, we all probably know the Varia, but I wanted to try something new with better functions, after all, I've had the Varia for a while now and the micro USB is not really that good, maybe you can say, just plug in the cable and go and ... but I have a multi charger with 4 ports and I have USB C everywhere, but to the point:
- the packaging and construction are appropriate and there is something most of all in the form of a saddle holder plus of course a seatpost included and I also like the tightening strap and not rubber bands, they are also one bigger and one smaller, the construction is absolutely gorgeous, I have nothing to say about it
-functionality fuh here I'm probably going to be stoned by the Garmin Fun team... but where does the cycle end, the brake light function begins, the double warning sounds now I don't know if it has GPS or radar this option, what's most important in weeks of use I haven't had any false spirits and now the endurance is also 25h... I have about 11h and the battery is 55% connected to the GPS Magene C606, the flash auto/off works beautifully, I don't understand how everything works so beautifully, the stated brightness of 40lm is fully sufficient even in bright light, I originally didn't read anywhere whether the radar works when the car is moving or if it starts flashing when it's boiling, but yes it flashes nicely and clearly for 90e, an excellent radar and I dare say better than the ones from Varia for a cup of coffee, once such a price

I've had the Varia for 2 years and then I noticed this and hesitated... why not buy another radar for half the price as a backup and test it at the same time...
At first I was hesitant about this and the Magene L508. After a few YT reviews I decided to buy this one.
So far actively tested on several rides - about 400km.
The battery is fantastic - about 16 hours in various modes, in my opinion, as declared (Varia lasts a maximum of 12 hours in flashing mode).
It detects all cars, pedestrians, scooters, dogs without any problems, I have never had it fail to detect one, even when there are 5-6 of them behind me, it shows me the exact number.
"Ghosts" appear from time to time but it is also comparable to Varia. The second thing is that Varia detects itself in the mirror and L7 does not.
Pairing with phone, Garmin Edge 530, Fenix ​​6x Pro watch and Magene C506 cycling computer is hassle-free.
The workmanship is fantastic and USB-C charging is a huge plus compared to the Varia.
The light is also a bit weaker compared to Varia.
I recommend it to anyone who is thinking about buying - don't make a mistake. For this price, TOP!

I bought it because of the radar capability and fortunately it works well. I mainly use it in this mode. Paired with a Garmin FR 165 watch, I can see the dots indicating approaching vehicles in color. The beeping and vibration are also enough to detect them after a while. There are sometimes false alarms, but with getting used to it, this can also be easily distinguished from the real ones, its frequency is not disturbing. However, it always indicates real cars, there is no mistake.
If there are more of us riding and I'm not at the end of the line, it doesn't work well due to the distraction effect and there are a lot of false perceptions.
The mounts work stably both under the seat and when mounted on the tube.
I have to look back much less often. It worked for me, I would buy it again and recommend it to others.

It works solidly /but I've only driven it for about 400 km/, it reliably recorded vehicles behind me; it showed me a "ghost" twice, coincidentally each time while driving on Kukučínová Street in BA, there were only parked cars there and nothing was moving behind me . A good feature is the safety cable, which can be used to secure the radar against loss. I can compare it with the Garmin Varia radar, which has a more robust construction and mount to the holder, the functionality is approximately the same, the Garmin's workmanship clearly gives a higher quality impression, the Cycplus is a bit more affordable.

It had a couple of false alarms, especially when passing bushes in windy and rainy weather, but not a disturbing amount. I think it's strange that there is no brake light function in flashing mode. The radar detects from afar, if a moving object is on the radar, it doesn't drop it even if it picks up my speed, it keeps the signal until it overtakes it, or turns off, or stops. Many cheaper radars can't handle this, but it's important! Overall, I can only recommend it. Correct device!

Tested on 3 rides, approx. 5 hours and 55% battery remaining.

The light is smaller and lighter than the Garmin Varia.
The downside is that you don't know when the light is charged and it doesn't hold the battery capacity. After charging, the app shows a max of 97%, after a few days it's only 70% without use.

Definitely don't buy if you have experience with Garmin radar. It constantly reports ghosts, even among real moving cars.
