“To see” light 
The Ion 800 RT is a “To See” light, a 
headlight for primary vision when riding in 
low light. It can also function as a “To Be 
Seen” light when in flash mode, although

substantial amount of light. Note that for 
best results, a rider should employ BOTH 
a To See light and a To Be Seen light.
