Made out of aluminum, the Blink/Steady has no buttons and has a built-in accelerometer that responds to 1.5G of acceleration. Basically this means that it should keep itself awake while cycling or even while waiting at the traffic light. When you’re done for the night, the lights will remain on for a maximum of 30 seconds before shutting off. It also features a photosensor that will be able to tell when it is day or night and has reportedly been tuned in such a way that headlights won’t be able to “trick” it into think it is day.
Thanks to the fact that the bike’s seat post passes through the Blink/Steady, you can imagine how much of a hassle this could be for a thief if they were to remove it. In any case the Blink/Steady is a Kickstarter project that has managed to exceed its goal, so for more information or to pre-order one for yourself, head on down to its Kickstarter page or its official website for the details.
