Be happy, bicyclists of the world, because the lasertastic LightLane personal bike path is going to be a reality soon. It's already in the production engineering phase, as this demonstration video shows:

 

 

 

As you remember, Lightlane was just a very clever concept in a design competition. Apparently the response was so overwhelming from bicyclists all over the world that the inventors actually decided to make it into a commercial product.

 

 

 

Apart from the "super-bright red LEDs," LightLane uses two high visibility Diode-Pumped Solid State green lasers to draw a path that "protects" the biker on the street. Yes, it won't protect bikers as much as if it used Boeing's missile-destroying laser, but it will be a great alert for drivers in poor lit roads. Not to talk about the psychological deterrent factor of seeing the bicyclist's safety space marked on the asphalt. Lightlane via Coolhunting]

I bought a Lupine whatever in Europe when I was living in the Balkans - it was in excess of GBP 280.

I used it at least for 4 nights a week during the summertime. Excellent light - would recommend it to all.

 

Like all else, if you use it often the price becomes reasonable (eventually).

That Lupine light is really good, but also one of the most expensive, even more expensive than the Brighter Lights.

Lupines are the berries. But you'll pay about 10k for their top of the line one here, if you can get one. BL's lights are very well priced compared to imports, compare a revelation 4 with a hope vision 4 and you'll get the idea. Make sure you compare battery life too...droo2009-06-26 03:36:17

Jip, I must say, the brighter lights are very goog and possibly in line/better that the lupines.

 

Just a tad expensive for me.
