Pedalite Baglite

A unique  and innovative solar-powered, eco-friendly lighting product worn over the shoulders and fitting over any backpack or bag to keep cyclists safe on the roads and protect commuters and children as they walk to and from school.

Slotting over any size existing bag or rucksack, Baglite provides super-bright lighting that clearly illuminates people and their bags with no need for batteries. Using a new unique 360 degree floodlight module there is a single red floodlight at the back and two white floodlights at the front attached to straps that fit to the straps of a backpack. The lights shine out from every angle so people wearing Baglite will be seen clearly by motorists any time day or night from a distance of 1km.  The lights can be turned on and off and set to different modes – flashing, constant or off. There is also an optional tabard (lite harness) to secure the Baglite to for use without a backpack

Charging FAQ Using Baglite

 

Baglite has lenses that send light out through 360 degrees. Cover the front of the lens and you will see the large amount of light that comes out of the sides, top and bottom. There are V shaped grooves in the lens to ensure that the light to the side is as bright as the light through the front of the lens.

Baglite is designed to be on in light, shadow and darkness AND as a result of the unique “Floodlight” module actually appear brighter the further away you get! When you have the product on when it is daylight it actually recharges from the light while it is operated.

However, the one thing that we hear over and over again from all around the world is what great value the Baglite products are. First of all, cyclists spend on average US$10/£7 on batteries for lights every 3 months, meaning that a battery free product like Baglite would pay for its self inside a season ! and then carry on saving the user money through the elimination of batteries. When you buy a battery operated light, you usually have to buy the batteries for it. Add that to the price for the light you are buying to get the REAL price for comparison.

Baglite is incredibly versatile, it is used by cyclists, school kids, walkers, hikers, horseriders, etc etc

It is a unique product, fits to any backpack and provides active safety for about the same price as florescent backpack covers (passive safety).

As the mornings and evenings draw in, Baglite is particularly useful for schoolchildren walking to school (it has been called " "uber-cool"), commuters walking to the station or to work and its durability even allows for hikers to stay illuminated without worrying about batteries running out or finding an electricity charging point.

With over 600 million batteries (22,000 tonnes) being disposed of by UK consumers (source DEFRA) every year, Baglite is an eco-friendly product, that charges both in direct sunlight and in artificial light – at the office or school or just popped on the windowsill for a few hours at home.  It provides over six hours of flashing light from a full charge and provides super bright lights to create strong visibility to road users.  The saving on batteries alone means that Baglite enjoys a cost payback as well as helping save the environment.

The lightweight lights are weather and impact resistant.  Simple to fit and so comfortable to wear that you don’t know you have them on, they are maintenance free and ensure that commuters and school children are visible and that cyclists can ride secure in the confidence that they, and not just their bikes, are clearly visible at all times.  

Baglite’s battery free ‘green’ credentials will appeal to those of us who are environmentally conscious and even Pedalite’s packing avoids using unnecessary plastic as it is completely made from recycled cardboard.
