Amazing what the LED technology is able to do these days.

Interesting, where do you think will be the best place to mount that on the Seg, under the platform??? Or maybe sideways on the fender??

It's small enough to go virtually anywhere... I guess the most optimal place would be under the platform.. or even vertically facing forward, screwed somehow the insides of the gearboxes.

I have just had another look at this, and it is about the size of the palm of your hand. You could fix three under the platform and two on the inside of each fender.
Let there be light, and my goodness we could see for miles!!!

I don't understand why LLC don't mold in a small light in each fender.
It would be there if you needed it and when you didn't it would just look good.

Lights could still be operated by batteries, in the lights
or with a battery pack that could be mounted or carried on the Seg.
Then when new and better batteries were available they could be hooked to the onboard Seg battery.

Because the number 1 concern BY FAR has always been battery life. They aren't going to add anything that takes away from the battery for quite some time I would guess.

If you just want to be seen at night, that light might be fine. But if you want to avoid hazards while gliding in the dark, anything powered by watch batteries just isn't going to cut it.

Segway - What's holding you up?
