The Draw: Multi-Light System for Better Depth Perception

Our first impression was how cool these lights feel in your hand—think Porsche key fob. Better yet, you can synchronize the set so that only one button (the front-facing, bar-mounted one is most convenient) is needed for controlling on/off and mode selection for each of the others. Having multiple lights spread from your helmet to your seat post, and on down to your seatstay, helps approaching drivers spot you initially and then better comprehend their closing speed so that they have more time to avoid you. Details include an octopus-like micro-USB connector for charging all your lights at once, as well as high-quality and clever bike-attachment solutions.

$150 (complete light set)
