This looks like it works on the same principle as the Magnic Lights, which I’ve been using for several years. Magnic just came out with Ver. 2 of their product, which added new circuitry for a steadier and brighter light.
No friction!? Absolutely true. There is no contact between the Magnic light and the bike, other than the mount. The system generates energy from the motion of the (alloy or steel) rims passing by the light. I have one of the new headlights, but I haven’t had time to use it. The first gen lights aren’t nearly as bright as, say, an Edelux, but for me they’re certainly bright enough to ride with. They’re also always on, adding the benefit of daytime running lights. Despite the protests of skeptics, I would say that the lights have no effect on the bike’s speed. If there is, I can’t feel it. Yes, you don’t get something (light) for nothing, but the Magnic Lights come very, very close. P.S. The inventor of the Magnic Light is currently fighting several patent battles with other companies using the “eddy technology.” This might be one of them. P.P.S. Magnic Lights are available in the USA from Clever Cycles in Portland OR. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com campyonlyguy.blogspot.com > On Nov 9, 2015, at 10:02 AM, Curtis McKenzie <cmcy...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Neo Light > > No friction?
