Fort Collins, CO – On September 5 2015, James Martin launched a Kickstarter campaign for Spokenlights, a high performance LED light system that mounts on your wheels. It displays 24-bit customizable graphics and patterns.
“As avid cyclists, we were looking for a way to make bike safety both fun and creative for all ages, Spokenlights was the answer,” says co-founder, Amy Martin, “Spokenlights is the industry’s first and only LED bike light that lets you easily design and program your own patterns and animations, using the free downloadable Spokenlights Design Studio.”
Each Spokenlights system consists of one LED bar (32 LEDs) and a “brain” unit that holds the battery pack. Each “brain” unit can power up to two LED bars, and uses four AA batteries. This gives you the unique ability to add two LED bars to each wheel of your bike, giving you twice the jaw-dropping colors and visual displays.
Installing Spokenlights is easy and only takes a few minutes per unit. Each LED bar comes with two slots and two zip ties, one of which is made of steel to prevent theft. You also don’t have to worry about biking in the rain because they are 100% waterproof! Spokenlights make your bike visible from all angles, making it a great piece of safety equipment for anyone who rides at night.
“I was able to combine both of my biggest passions, technology and biking, and the end result was a colorful, fun visual display system for cyclists,” explains James Martin, “We’ve spent years developing a desktop application that makes it easy to create, edit, and upload new playlists to your Spokenlights unit using a simple USB cord. The Spokenlights Design Studio is so easy to use, even kids can do it.”
In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including a complete Spokenlights system for one wheel for $60, one complete system with an additional LED light bar (64 LEDs) for $80, and more. Backers can also pledge $120 to receive one complete Spokenlights system for two wheels or $240 to get the complete system for two bikes.
