X-Fire 5-LED gadget looks like a regular tail light. However, it has 5 bright LED lights built-in with Laser Lane Marker. These laser pointer like lights provide guidance as well as visibility for the biker. They are visible from over a mile away to nearby motorists.

This is an innovation of good old tail light. It provides a notice to anyone coming upon you from behind. However, the Smart Tail Light has an accelerometer built in so that it can tell when the bike is in motion.

To prolong the battery life, the unit automatically turns off after 30 seconds of no movement. Blink Steady http://blinksteady.com/
