Cool New Project: Revolights

August 17, 2011

Saw a great project come out of kickstarter.com called Revolights. Concept is simple, its a set of lights that are battery powered LED rings that spin with your bicycle wheel. When rotation is detected, LEDs turn on and off in a way that projects a white LED “headlight” forward, and a red LED “taillight” backwards. Run time is around 4 hours for the front and more in the back. This is just a plug because I think it’s seriously too cool not to blog about.

While this certainly won’t go on my road bike because it probably won’t fit on 46mm depth wheels, it will make a great addition to my backup bike / San Jose Bike Party bike, my single-speed Bianchi Pista Via Condotti. I don’t think I’ve ever shown her on my blog, she’s a beautiful shade of green:
