Let's Talk Revolights

So for Christmas I was given Revolights.  I picked them up in March because they were still in production, and now I'm enjoying them on a daily basis.

last week I started having an issue with my front light.  When I hit a bump it would light up all around, and would really freak out on a bumpy or alligatored road.  I contacted them, and they said come in and let us check it out.

That's the advantage of being less than a mile from their headquarters.

I went in, described my problem, showed how the lights would go off and on when I pushed the button.  They looked at the battery out and compared it to another one in stock, and said that the pins were short and loose.  And right there gave me a new battery.  And everything is working great.

So, I've forgotten to upload a video of them, so here we go:

Becoming a Safer Cyclist

For Christmas, I pre-ordered the Revolights Eclipse+ for my bike.

So, I've been watching Revolights for a few years now  I remember when they came up on Indiegogo for their original Revolights 360.  It was a fascinating project, but at the time, I just could see spending that much one on my bike.

Then they launched a second campaign for the Eclipse+.  I was hooked, and I've been waiting for the right time to get the new version.  It turns out that they are on track to be released this month.

Jennifer and I went walking one day a few months ago, and saw the crew taking pictures at night.  It turned out that Revolights is located here in Emeryville.

So, this week, we walked over and ordered a set.  And if they are as great as they look, Jennifer will be getting a set as well.

I'm very excited, and eager for them to be released.
