Has anyone got some real world experience of them, the smart detection of braking making it turn on bright like a brake light sounds appealing.

Re: Xlite 100 Smart Rear light
Interesting concept. I'm always skeptical of 'smart' things that are also cheap things. I kind of like to turn my light on, see it on, then ride and know its still on without wondering what its up to back there Having said that, the technology in it is likely pretty simple.
Also, the mount is fine for some applications but no seat pack / saddle tool bag compatibility would rule it out for me.
But, to answer your question. I've not used one so no real world experience sorry.
I'm sure I haven't helped at all

I agree re seat pack and thoughts, looked interesting for commuting with a standard light as well.

Similar concept. I have the non react version of this Exposure and have seen the Reakct in action and can say I was suitably impressed (maybe not ecstatic but impressed i certainly was)...
I'd go with Exposure (or SeeSense which I also rode behind on last weeks big ride for a few hours and again was a bit impressed at how it'd change it's flashing modes dependent on how fast thw rider was going)...

Re: Xlite 100 Smart Rear light
I ordered some of these and am waiting for them to arrive:
https://smartbikelights.com/products/cubelite-ii-pro
I think they're generally the same thing, just a slightly different model.
Once they're here I'll let you know and there *might* be a spare as I am a sucker for a BOGOF. However, IIRC someone also pointed out they (or something similar) is available cheaper on Aliexpress
The thread will be somewhere in the forum....
