Many non-motorized road users react negatively youthful, others just curious if both LED light strips, especially when fresh batteries if the red light shines very intensive. However, since LED reflective tape is already failed because cable breaks, tempers have calmed the pedestrian quickly. A shining alone is almost without comment accepted by all.
The glowing reflective tape better contribute to the side of the road, here in Germany, left. For make confusion of flashing mode makes because the flashing the turn signal of motorized vehicles is confused. So light up better constant if the technique works. Sometimes light the LED will change by itself in the flashing mode, just because a jacket has thicker or thinner sleeve and bend the cable thereby. - Can still improve a lot on the cable routing and securing the velcro on the battery compartment.
I can only recommend.
