Magicshine Seemee 200 V2 Smart Taillight Review - feat. 200 Lumen + Brake / Ambient Light Sensor

While there may be a lot of bike taillights on the market, the Magicshine Seemee 200 has stood out thanks to its unique design. The Seemee 200 has a multi-element LED design that not only directs light rearward but also downward with a tracer LED to light up the ground under you. In this review, we’ll be looking at the latest Seemee 200 V2 which improves the usability and effectiveness of the light. The taillight retains the same $44.99 retail price and 200 lumen maximum output. With the Seemee 200 V2, Magicshine has simplified the number of output modes and improved the brake sensor mode to taper from the maximum output. It’s also easier to check if the brake sensor is active as the power button illuminates blue for a few seconds when first turned on.

The Magicshine Seemee 200 V2 uses a miniaturized Garmin style quarter turn mount that’s shared with all the Seemee taillights. It’s a simple but effective design that uses two protruding tabs that slide into corresponding slots on the mount. Magicshine includes a rubber strap style seat post mount with angled rubber pad to keep the taillight parallel with the ground. The mount works with both aero and round seat posts thanks to a clever circular center cutout. Magicshine has used thick rubber for the strap which should ensure it holds up to daily use. There is also a plastic seat rail mount that slides over the saddle rails for a higher mounting location. Note, the seat rail mount can only be used if you do not use a saddlebag on your bike.

Visually, the Seemee 200 V2 is identical to the original version with a rectangular profile and the multi-element LED design. There is a main focused LED on the rear that is surrounded by an attractive COB LED ring. What really sets the light apart is the tracer LED which is a downward facing LED with a dome lens that lights up the ground underneath the light. Compared to the Seemee 150, the Seemee 200 V2 is slightly taller to provide space for the tracer LED. Although the plastic housing looks black, the front edge of the taillight is slightly transparent to improve side visibility. On the rear of the taillight you’ll also find the micro USB charging port which is protected by a rubber cover. We hope that the next iteration of Seemee lights incorporate USB-C charging ports, which can be found in a variety of Magicshine products.
