The LucidBrake wireless press-on safer biking brake light is now available for pre-order after recently completing its successful Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns, with pricing of $50 until July 2015 (normally $74.99). Early-birds can order the patent-pending smart brake light that can save lives through safer biking and also help fight HIV/AIDS at the same time through LucidBrake’s support for AIDS safety awareness and research.
Lucid Brake Features:
- Ultra bright brake light visible from ½ mile away at night and ¼ mile in the day to prevent cyclists’ injuries.
- Flat back allows it to mount onto multiple surfaces, backpacks, helmets, etc.
- 4 different beacon modes (flashing, fast flashing, solid, off) with modes aligning to the E.U. laws (off or dimmed tail-light).
- Angled cover design increases degree of visibility.
- Brake Light Indicator:
- No pressing a pedal or button necessary.
- Knows when going over bumpy roads, down a hill, or really slowing down.
- Adjusts to the mounting angle.
- Flashes more intensely when stopping suddenly, alerting others.
- No on/off switch: automatically goes into sleep mode when not in use or by changing the position of the unit or storing in flat or horizontal position.
- Long battery life of over 1 year with 2 AAA batteries.
- Waterproof : operates under water for biking in rain or snow, for boating, or other aquatic uses.
- Lightweight: under 2 oz. total weight (including batteries).
- Many other creative non-bicycle uses possible - such as at the end of long truck or car loads.
