Exposure Tracer rear light giveaway

There's a staggering array of excellent rear lights to choose from this winter, and with prices starting at about £7 for a good powerful model there really is little excuse to compromise.

At around £40, the Exposure TraceR rear light is by no means the cheapest, but it has a number of attractive features including USB charging, wide angle visibility, 3 levels of brightness and power indicator. Furthermore, the 'DayBright' pulse pattern is designed to cut through the distractions of busy roads and visual noise in modern motoring and is visible from over a kilometre away, even in sunlight.

Best of all, we have one to give away. Simply leave us a comment below and we'll pick a winner next week.
