Magicshine Seemee 300 Smart Bike Taillight Review - feat. 300 Lumen + Brake Sensor + OptiTracing LED

If you were a fan of the Magicshine’s Seemee 200 but didn’t think 200 lumens were enough, then we have good news for you. The new Magicshine Semee 300 we have here combines all the innovative features of the Semee 200 but adds a second LED to achieve a blinding 300 lumen output. Despite the combination of two focused LEDs, a downward facing OptiTracing LED and a COB LED ring, the Seemee 300 still has an affordable $59.99 retail price. With 300 lumen of output and a variety of flash modes and constant modes to choose from it’s a very bright taillight. Magicshine has also incorporated smart features such as a brake sensor and ambient light sensor which is utilized in the smart output modes. Fans of Magicshine will also be excited to know that the Seemee 300 finally incorporates USB-C to charge the 1600 mAh battery.

The Magicshine Seemee 300 combines the innovative features of the Seemee 200 but adds even more output and a modern design. The taillight uses what we’d describe as an open lens design with the two focused LEDs inset into the black covering. An extruded transparent ring wraps around the edge of the housing with COB LEDs behind it. Underneath the light is the OptiTracing LED which is a downward facing LED that illuminates the ground beneath you with additional visibility. The LEDs all use red filaments instead of a red lens which gives the taillight a clear or Altezza style appearance when the lights are off. It’s a sleek design that gives the Seemee 300 a modern appearance and helps it blend it when it’s not being used. With all the LEDs on the taillight this is a fairly large taillight with a thick rectangular form factor. The main housing on the taillight appears to be metal with Magicshine branding on one side and Seemee 300 printed on the other side.

Fans of Magicshine will be happy to see that the Seemee 300 has a modern USB-C charging port. This does not support on-the-go charging but has a thick rubber cover that’s easy to put on and take off. The light uses a familiar single button interface with an illuminated rubber button on top of the light. A short press while the light is off turns the backlight to green, red or flashing red to indicate the battery status. It’s a convenient feature that provides a three-level status and lets you check the battery before you start riding. A long press turns the light on while a single press cycles through the one-level menu. Additionally you can do a long hold with the taillight off to toggle the brake sensor on or off. As with other brake-sensing taillights, we’d recommend disabling the feature for more consistent and long runtimes.
