The battery box has a rubberized membrane switch on top, and each time it’s pressed it cycles the lights through 3 different stages.

LEDwear has a patent on the design, so it’s possible. But they are certainly very intense — more so than the typical LEDs used in motorcycle brake lights or LED flashlights I’ve seen. Editor’s Reply: I think you’re right on the money here, I should have emphasized this more, the idea wasn’t to wear it all the time with the LEDs on (although I suppose it could be done). Sure the brake light flashes “Bored to be Wild”, but that probably doesn’t offset the geek factor [no I didn’t misspell bored]. First, the LEDs will blink in an intermittent mode that looks very much like the light cycling seen on a police or fire vehicle.What is the use of all that visibility if you can’t see? Scary stuff. Definitely not for motorcyclists! For that they would have to install a switch for the front LEDs and make the vest fully waterproof.” Up to 10 business days for delivery. We do not take any responsibility for unforeseen delays at the customs. It works very well as a highly visible over-garment; the reflective stripes provide visibility at night; and the LEDs are there for emergency or low-visibility conditions. One more press turns the lights off, and then they can be cycled through the different modes again. LED suits are cool but this suit has an incredible design that allows the material itself to light up. The fabric actually illuminates! TrYptiX Fashion’s LED Suits are among the only ones in the world that actually change color. What does this mean? It means not a lot of people will be dressed like you, which is good. You deserve to feel special.

The flashing red lights would put her into an epileptic seizure, and she would plow through you and your bike like a hot knife through butter, never even knowing she hit you. Thanks to its state of the art wearable technology, you can rest easy in the knowledge that you will not fail to be seen. The garment isn’t designed strictly for motorcycle use, but LEDwear promises more uses of the technology in other apparel designs.All seriousness aside, I wonder if anyone has ever spent a few hundred million taxpayer dollars studying the effect of flashing lights on motorists. The flashing pattern is somewhat mesmerizing. All that front illumination would be dangerous as it would create reflections on your windshield, your arms (covered in bright yellow material), handlebar, etc. This contrasts nicely with the high-viz yellow and to a certain extent provides a different type of visibility due to the contrast.
