No Contact Bike Light
I haven't tried any of the other no contact lights, but this looks like it could be amazing if it works well!

That said, it is on the picier end and I have no idea how bright 150 lumens is.

Dual Cree LEDs should be plenty for commuting.

Coolest thing I've seen in ages!

that is pretty cool . . . definitely a worthwhile technology he is pursuing there .

couple things though . you'd still need some ( other ? ) light to remain on so you are visible when stopped , and the position of the light source so close to the wheel would make it considerably less conspicuous from the other side .

i wonder just how much braking effect it would have on the wheel ? i'd like one for my rando bike . i hope enough people invest to get it going into production .
