One common question when it comes to bike taillights is “how bright of a taillight do you need.” Moon Sport’s answer to that question is the new Helix Sense taillights which are offered in two versions: Helix Sense 300 and Helix Sense 450. Not only are these taillights absurdly bright, but they also incorporate motion sensors to detect braking and warn others behind you. Retail prices are $69.99 and $80.99 for the Helix Sense 300 and Helix Sense 450 respectively. As the product names imply, the taillights are capable of 300 lumen and 450 lumen output. The lights also offer Moon Sport’s Variable Lumen System (VLS) feature which allows you to customize the intensity of each mode independently. With their transparent red lens and rectangular profiles, both Helix Sense taillights also have 300 degree side visibility to help you be seen at any angle.
Visually, the Helix Sense 300 and 450 have nearly identical designs with rectangular profiles and COB LED strips. The Helix Sense 300 is slightly shorter than the Helix Sense 450 but has the same depth and width. There are four COB LED strips, two on the sides and a center section with most modes operating the LEDs together or the sides / center separately. The red transparent lens has a protruding design which helps the light achieve 300 degree visibility. On the sides of the light you’ll find Moon Sport’s reflective zig-zag graphics that are also found on their other products like the Rigel 700. Branding is limited to Moon debossed onto the lens and Helix Sense on the other side. On the rear of the light you’ll find a rubber cover for the USB-C charging port, a feature we’re happy to see and the Garmin style mount molded directly in.
There is a single black rubber button on the face of the lens that controls all the operations of the taillight. As with other Moon Sport products there are quite a few features baked into the light. Holding the button for a few seconds powers the light on and off while a short press will cycle through the constant or flash modes. There is a two-level menu which separates the flash and constant modes which can be toggled by doing a quick double press. The user interface becomes complicated when you want to access the Variable Lumen System (VLS) and enabling the lockout mode. With VLS you can hold the power button in any mode to have it ramp between the minimum and maximum lumen for the mode, while releasing the button selects the current lumen amount. It’s a unique feature that allows you to customize the output modes of the taillight without the need of secondary apps.
