Lumma: Give your bicycle the Tron treatment

Lumma bicycle light

If you’re old enough to remember the illuminated bike in the original Tron film , you’ll recall a time when bicycle lights were a simple, if clunky, affair. The advent of LED and laser technology has brought with it a bewildering choice of pulsing and flashing lights to help cyclists stand out on visually noisy urban streets.

Lumma is an example of the high-tech lighting now on offer;  handlebar grips with built-in head and tail lights and laser lane markers.

Lumma cycle light

Lumma lights are powered by a lithium-ion battery housed within the handlebar, which gives up to 50 hours of continuous use.

Both the LED lights and lasers can be set to flashing or constant to suit riding conditions.

We have ordered a set of Lumma lights which we’ll be giving away to one lucky cyclist. Simply leave us a message at the bottom of this page and we’ll pick a name.

The ethical choice

The ETA was established in 1990 as an ethical provider of green, reliable travel services. Over 30 years on, we continue to offer cycle insurance , breakdown cover and mobility scooter insurance while putting concern for the environment at the heart of all we do.

The Good Shopping Guide judges us to be the UK’s most ethical provider.

 

As bike light patterns become ever more complex, designers are resorting to ever higher specs to help rider stand out from the crowd. The BLAZE Burner features a bank of 24 LEDs, each with 60 levels of brightness. In the visual cacophony of today’s cities, the Burner offers almost endless variations of flashing and pulsing. It boasts a fully waterproof casing and magnetic charging – so no more USB ports clogged with mud. It’s got a light sensor that switches the Burner on automatically in low light and there’s a nifty magnetic mounting system, too.

Blaze Burner info

Designer Emily Brooke made her name with the BLAZE laserlight – a handlebar-mounted projector that throws the image of a bicycle onto the road six metres ahead of the rider. The idea of using a powerful handlebar-mounted laser to keep inattentive motorists on their toes will appeal to many cyclists, but the design does not leave a trail of smoldering vehicles in its wake – rather the Blaze light projects the bright green image of a bike onto the road to catch the attention of motorists.

The laserlight was a concept that founder Emily designed and patented at University in Brighton. After doing a long ride for charity, Emily got the biking bug and spent the final year of her design course looking at the challenges facing city cyclists. The laser light concept was developed with help from her local council, a bus company, road safety experts and driving psychologists.

    My brother loves to go cycling past midnight as there is less traffic at that time, on our busy streets in Hong Kong. Also because during the day he needs to look after our mom. So after midnight is really his own free time to do something he loves most…riding on his bike. However, I worry about his safety and would very much love to have Lumma bike lights to help keep him safe. If I don’t get a free Lumma I’d be most interested to pay for it too!
