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 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. The Lumma is can be pre-orderd for around £30 via crowdfunding website Indiegogo.

Environmentally friendly cycle insurance
On the face of it, one cycle insurance policy is much like another, but the devil is the detail. How much excess you will be charged is just one of the things that varies wildly between providers. Another is so called ‘new-for-old’ replacement – many insurers use this term, but if your bicycle is more than a few years old, devalue it severely. This means you are left out of pocket when you come to replace it. Read our insider guide to cycle insurance.
Furthermore, every cycle insurance policy you buy from us helps support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner, safer transport future.
ETA cycle insurance has a low standard excess of 5% (minimum £25) and offers a new-for-old for life – however old the bike, if it’s stolen you get enough to buy a new model.
For 25 years we have been providing straightforward, affordable bicycle insurance. Whether you use your bike to commute, shop, race or amble in the park, ETA Cycle Insurance has you covered. We never devalue bikes no matter their age, allow you to buy your replacement bike wherever you like, replace stolen quick release components and handle claims in-house.
The Good Shopping Guide voted us to provide the most ethical insurance in Britain.
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.
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.

What an awesome bit of kit!

Just what I need for my tours. These lights save so much space, enabling other equally important things to go on the handlebars.
One complete set for me, please. 🙂

Great to have lights that you don’t have to keep taking on and off as these would not be so obvious to would-be thieves.
George
Jazzy bit of kit. I’ll have them please, if you D’s don’t mind.
David Smith
Yes please! They look great!
Mike G
Only downer is it looks like they won’t fit on dropped bars but would be just right for my city bike, for which the laser would be most use anyway. Yes please!
Steve K

Wynn James
With cyclist visibility every little bit helps and luma lights are more than a little bit
Raf
I’d love to get a Lumma that!

Quite happy to test my theory mind….

Brand new schwinn lights stolen for umpteenth time. Ride all year-everywhere-here in OhioStan. Best design I ‘ve ever seen by far. And they look hard to steal ! Will sell great here in OhioStan.

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!
Kevin Fifield
Wow simply brilliant idea , why hasn’t someone thought of this before now ,I want a set
Melvin Rivera
Buyers be spectical.paid for a set of lumma lights and have not received them.been waiting more than 6months.lumma stopped all communication. 😲
Melvin Rivera
Buyers be careful. I order a set of lumma bike grips and never received them its been 8 months and still no answer. Lumma doesn’t respond.
Charlie Channels

I love lights. These grips are SICK! I didnt know they were not available yet for purchase. Im assuming they fit on Mountain/Fat bike bars? I really liked the grips in the youtube video that had a copper color on the rings. Would be sweet to sport some futuristic grips like these. Please let me know where or if they can be bought. Thank You.
