A bike light designed to keep you secure — and visibleThere’s something wonderful approximately hearing designers talk approximately the tiny details they’re most proud of in a product — and Emily Brooke’s enthusiasm is contagious as she discusses the automatic light sensor,magnetic bracket, and ip7-certified waterproofing on her new Blaze Burner bike light. The Burner is a rear-facing complement to Blaze’s first bike light, or which came to life through Kickstarter in 2012. Since then,it’s not only making backers’ two-wheeled adventures safer but has also been incorporated into a trial speed of London’s Santander shared bikes.
It’s all sorts of thoughtful: it can turn on automatically as it becomes dusk or you pass under bridges or tunnels, and turn off once you’re in colorful light. The LED layout is designed to give a diffused spread of light across 180 degrees horizontally to make you as visible from the side as from the back — but won’t dazzle those behind you, and obscuring their view.
