Heels on fire!

As flashy (literally) as they may look, the Power Spurz were designed to be a signal of sorts, letting you be visible to people nearby as you walked, jogged, trekked, or cycled around. Made to be taillights that you wear on your shoes, the Spurz let people from a distance see you, which works rather well if you’re on your own, jogging or cycling down the road in the dark and you’ve got a vehicle speeding towards you, saving you a potential ‘deer-in-the-headlights’ moment.

Made to bend around your heel and fit onto any shoe of any size, the Spurz come in a wide variety of colors and can be configured to either flash a steady light or blink continuously. With a run time of 70 hours when on steady light and 100 when blinking, the Spurz will need a battery replacement probably once every 3 months. They’re even designed to be absolutely weatherproof, so whether you’re out in the sun, rain, snow, you know you’re visible, and literally ‘marked’ safe!

Be Safe, Be Seen

blinkers_01

Road safety is paramount; there are no negotiations with that. What’s been most impressive the past year is the increased awareness around being seen with spray on reflective materials and various lighting solutions for cyclists, but Marc Sapetti’s Blinkers are by far my favorite concept of them all. The next generation bicycle lights – whatever the angle and the situation, Blinkers can be seen and alert those around you.

The operation of Blinkers is simple, which makes them highly efficient – the rear blinker indicates the direction of the turn, by blinking to the right or the left. The front Blinker is synchronized with the back Blinker, while also incorporating a strong white head light.

Accessibility is also a massive factor with Blinkers, incorporating a magnetic snap-on, snap-off system making them easier to dismount. Quite an elegant design, Blinkers is a gorgeous addition to any bike and is sure to keep the rider safe given any conditions.

Hang Up Light: No More Getting Dressed in the Dark

It’s something I experience here almost every morning. I wake up about an hour earlier than my wife, and it’s still pitch black in the bedroom when I’m getting dressed. I could turn the lights on, but then I’d end up waking her up, and that wouldn’t go over well. So instead, I do everything from crack my closet door open just a tiny bit with the light on, to turning on the light on my iPhone to see what I’m doing. Even then, I occasionally end up grabbing the wrong pair of socks. With this clever invention, I might just be able to see what I’m doing without lighting up the whole room.

The Hang Up Light is a clothes hanger with built-in LED illumination. It’s produces a soft white glow of light, just enough to see your clothes, but not bright enough to spill into the room. Its hanger-shaped design means you can keep it at the ready in your closet or on a door knob, and of course can be used for hanging clothes.

So if you’re ready to stop getting dressed in the dark, head over to Firebox today, where you can grab the Hang Up light for about $30.

LED Photo Clip Light Strings Are a Fun Alternative to Picture Frames

These days, most of us only have our latest photos in digital form. But sometimes it’s nice to have prints of our pictures so we can frame and display them around the house. Whether you snap traditional 35mm images, get your digital images printed, or use that shiny new-old Polaroid camera that just came out, here’s a fun and different way to hang your images.

These LED photo clips are basically just like Christmas lights, but each light sits behind a see-through clothespin. Simply hang up the light string, clip them to the corners of your photos, and you have a fun and instant display that doesn’t require any of the hassle of putting pictures in frames and carefully hanging them up.

I love the idea that you can change the pictures whenever you want too. So when your family comes over, you can swap all your embarrassing, drunken party pictures for your embarrassing, awkward childhood pictures. They’re also a fun way to brighten up a party with photos of the honored guest(s).

There are a few different companies selling these LED photo clips over on Amazon, and the prices range from about $10 to $20 (USD) for a string of 30 or 40 lights, so they’re not expensive at all. If you’d rather do something more splashy, there’s also a multicolor string available.
