While Magicshine has had their name on a bike rear radar with the co-branded Magene / Magicshine Seemee 508 the taillight design didn’t share much in common with Magicshine’s other lights. The Magicshine Seemee R300 is their latest radar and uses an all-new design with multi-element LEDs that incorporate some of the best features of Magicshine’s other lights. As with many Magicshine products, the Seemee R300 undercuts other radars on the market with a highly competitive $129.99 retail price. The radar has a claimed 140m detection range with a wide 20 degree horizontal range to detect approaching cars. Magicshine has gone all out with a multi-element LED design that combines a focused center LED along with COB side markers which achieve a maximum 300 lumen output. The Seemee R300 also features a separate button to control the radar status and a 100 hour runtime using only eco mode with no radar.
The Magicshine Seemee R300 uses Magicshine’s miniaturized Garmin quarter-turn mount. It is about half the size of a standard Garmin mount but has the same twist-on design that is easy to use and very secure. This mount is shared across all of the Seemee taillights so you can use their optional saddle rail mount if desired. Magicshine includes a simple rubber and plastic seatpost mount with an angled rubber backing to keep the radar parallel to the ground. When mounting the radar, you want to make sure the radar surface is above your rear wheel to ensure the radar has an optimal line of sight to cars behind you. With the heavier weight of this radar we found the mount has quite a bit of vibration which seems like it could affect the radar performance. We would have preferred to see the larger standard Garmin mount that the original Seemee 508 used as it allows you to use more third-party mounts.
Visually, the Magicshine Seemee R300 looks quite similar to the Magicshine Seemee DV camera taillight. The radar uses a similar triangular profile with a focused LED on top with a round COB LED display around it. Below the main lighting element are two COB LED strips mounted on each side that sandwich a rather small radar surface. Compared to other radars like the Bryton Guardia, Trek CarBack, Magene L508 or Garmin Varia which have large flat radar surfaces, the Magicshine looks more like a standard taillight than a radar. All the tech does make the Seemee R300 fairly large and bulkier than other Magicshine Seemee taillights though as it’s nearly 3.75” in length and about 1.5” in depth. However, It is an attractive design with a gray lower section and dark black plastic upper. The USB-C charging port is hidden on the side of the radar underneath a rubber cover...
