You probably remember Blaze, the company that brought us the Laserlight – a front light that doubles up as a safety device by projecting a laser image of a bicycle onto the ground in front of a cyclist. Well, Blaze is back, and this time it has turned its attention to things at the rear with a new design pitched on Kickstarter.
Those looking for lasers will be disappointed. There’s also no HD camera to record the antics of naughty drivers and there’s absolutely zero chance of it calling a loved one if it senses you’ve crashed. Nope, what Blaze has done is stuck with a fairly conventional rear light – and given the result, we think that’s a good thing.
With an expected retail price of £49 (about $75 / AU$105 at time of writing) the 100g Burner gets 24 LEDs that together pump out up to 100 lumens. The part Blaze is particularly proud of is the Burner’s bracket, and in fairness it does appear to be a trick bit of design. A two-piece magnetic design makes for quick detach and reattachment of the unit, while a spherical interface makes for easy angle adjustment – it can be run vertically or horizontally.
