Be Seen

Dark by five. Still running.

From October to March, most runs before or after work happen in the dark. Light your path, and make sure every driver and cyclist sees you coming.

The problem

The dark half of the year

Half your runs from October to March start or finish without daylight.

Unlit paths

Parks, canal paths and country lanes: the street lights stop, your route doesn't.

The fixA chest light that lights the ground in front of you.

Drivers who look but don't see

A runner in dark kit is hard to spot, especially from the side and from behind.

The fixReflective straps and flashing clip lights.

Head torches that bounce

A head torch moves with every step and every glance, and dazzles the people you pass.

The fixChest-mounted, steady light at body height.

Tips

How to be seen

Light up front and back

A light ahead of you to see, something flashing behind you so others see you.

Put lights on what moves

A flashing light on your shoe or ankle moves with your stride, and movement catches drivers' eyes.

Assume you haven't been seen

At junctions and crossings, make eye contact with drivers before you go.

Questions

How do I charge them?

Over USB. No batteries to buy or replace.

Can I run in the rain?

Yes. The Beam Chest Light is water resistant to IPX6, so rain and splashes are fine. Don't submerge it.

Does it fit over a winter jacket?

Yes. Both straps adjust, so it fits over a T-shirt in October and a jacket in January.

Does the chest light dazzle other people?

It points at the ground ahead of you instead of at eye level, so it's far less dazzling than a head torch you turn towards people.

Can I return it?

Yes. You can cancel within 14 days of receiving your order, for any reason. See Shipping & returns.
