An Intriguing Little Item
Thursday, February 14th, 2008I need to give credit to Big Cab Daddy for this, I ran across it on his blog, Returning Motorcyclist.
What would you think of a little device that sticks to the top of your helmet and, powered by the wind, gives off a flashing light to make you more visible to other drivers?
That’s exactly what the HJC Wind Light is. What the sales blurb says is:
Simply affix the wind light to your helmet using the adhesive tape provided and let the wind do the rest? As you ride, the wind goes through the front of the intake grill causing the internal turbine to power 8 bright LED lights. Active at speeds as low as 25mph. Wind powered, no batteries required!
The thing costs about $30. Here’s a picture:
I’d be really interested to hear from anyone who has had a chance to try this thing out. Maybe I’ll have to be the one to do that. It looks like it could be a pretty good gadget.
