Automatic Brake Lights

The Stoptix Brake Light Warns Against Rear-End Collisions

— September 25, 2015 — Autos
The Stoptix is a fully automatic brake light that is designed to alert other motorists and cyclists when your bicycle is decelerating, regardless of whether this is happening because you've hit the brake lights or not. Brake lights are normally only designed to warn other motorists when you're braking, but this light warns them of deceleration even if it's due to a cause other than braking.

This automatic brake light is fully weatherproof, shines brighter than regular incandescent bulbs and also promises a lifespan of five years. It is able to operate at temperatures ranging from -30 to 65 degrees Centigrade, making it worthy of use in practically any temperature.

Cyclists are often very vulnerable on the road, and the Stoptix automatic brake light helps improve their safety by warning others of their movements.
