Whaddya think. I found it on a table while cleaning up after somebody's bar mitzvah.  :icon_razz: This is the coolest LED item I have seen yet, and after a while I figured out it fits in my mesh phone pocket on my bag. People definitely take notice on the night streets.

Uhh...  Ok...   I suppose if it makes just one cager go "What the hell is THAT?" then it's done the job.  :dunno_white:

Now, a lightning ball helmet.  THAT would be cool!   :laugh:

Thats like some freaky hyponotic thing, more likely the car drivers will be doing their usual night time dozey thing "Follow the pretty, colored, lights" Smash.

Couldn't the red/blue flashing cause a problem (law-wise)?

The more lights the better. Rim tape, reflectors, led's, whatever. Put em on and watch your mirrors !

I'm still trying to figure out how to light up my bike like a christmas tree when I brake.

what were they doing at the bar mitzvah  acid and X...... :dunno_white:  Ive seen these around not overly impressed with a bunch of led's with a couple  of mirrors stacked together.  ALthough i do support the lightning helmet idea :thumb:
