K01S Smart Brake-Sensing Bicycle Rear Light

Compact bicycle light for cycling brands, distributors and importers.

The K01S is a compact smart bicycle rear light designed for cycling brands and distributors seeking an upgraded safety-focused lighting option.
Compared with the standard K01R, the K01S adds automatic brake warning and intelligent wake and sleep functions while maintaining the same exterior design.
It delivers up to 40 lumens in steady mode and increases brightness to 60 lumens during brake warning.
The removable battery design supports maintenance, while the shared K01 family appearance makes it suitable for coordinated lighting collections.
