Now that really IS a tail light: Firm unveils clip on LED light for horses to improve rider safety
- Device made of LED light strands that attaches to horse's tail for safety
- Tail Lights Rider System is cheaper and smaller than original version
- System is wireless and controlled with a hand held remote
- Tail Lights is raising $18,500 on Kickstarter
After Sami Gros’s friend was hit by a car while trotting down the street on a horse,
he set out to develop an innovated light safety system for horseback riders.
The
$125 system has strands of LED lights, on both the front and tail units that warn oncoming motorists there is a rider on the road.
It may look like a fashion accessory, but the Tail Lights Rider System aims
to save the thousands of horses and riders that are injured and killed each year in collisions.
This device is a compact, cheaper version of the company’s flagship product, Tail Lights Pro, which has a price tag of
$499.99.
