Ultra-Bright Bike Tail-Light Resembles Star Wars Spaceship
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, Today's Chili
Tail-Light, or TIE-Fighter? You decide.
In the olden days, bike lights were more about being seen than actually seeing. Incandescent bulbs and D-cells meant that you’d be able to present the aspect of a bright-ish candle to other road-goers, but anything more powerful was specialized and expensive.
Today, with lithium cells and LEDs, we’re spoiled, and the Seat Stay Tail Light from Serfas is just the latest in a line of bouncy silicon face-huggers that quickly schloop onto your frame and beam out a bright beacon for up to 100 hours.
The Seat Stay Light has one central eye which throws out half a watt and is flanked by six smaller diodes. Power comes from a pair of CR 2032 button cells and in addition to the usual flashing and constant beams there is a “strobe” mode. Yes, in addition to resembling a TIE-Fighter, the lamp has a Knight Rider/Cylon mode. Clearly this is awesome.
It’s sure not as pretty as the Knog Hipster-Cysts from down-under, but, hell, Knight Rider! $20.
