I get a little sick to my stomach every time I watch this video... This is exactly the type of scenario where you need a super high power, and very eye catching taillight that can grip a driver's attention from a long distance. You want drivers to SEE you and think, "Is that a police car or an ambulance? Either way I better slow down and give some room." On a high speed road like this, the sooner the better. It looks to be early in the morning, and the sun was low ...
Tues, Mar 24, 2015 New stock loaded on the store... get 'em while they're hot! Saturday, Mar 7, 2015 OK, 11 headlights and 11 taillights sold since Wednesday, and all of those orders have been shipped now.

Iced in for two days, but finally thawing out today. ...

With build #4 I got away from epoxying the switch into the lid and now have the power switch integrated into the PC board. From a manufacturing standpoint, this is great, but how ...
I got a tip from one of my early customers (thanks Vickie!) about this brand new (and very sobering) report from the League of American Bicyclists. This is the culmination from their "Every Bicyclist Counts" initiative. There is a lot of very interesting data in this report, but the really biggie is the finding that "40% of fatal crashes with a reported collision type -- were “hit from behind” incidents." Here's a direct link to the final report ...
OK, so my lucky streak finally ran out yesterday. I guess it was bound to happen. A package of 2 taillights was shipped to California and "successfully" delivered. Of course, "successful" in this case means partially shoved into a mail slot that was too small to hold the package, which was left sticking out for all the world to see.. and take, in this case. Losing the lights really stinks... but adding insult to injury, I've traditionally been insuring packages ...
