Amoeba - The simplest "light" form: February 2013

Been wanting to do this for some time now. DIY acid etched aluminum. Here are my first couple attempts -

First In, First Out is our motto!

What is the Amoeba bike light?

The Amoeba is the smallest, lightest weight, lowest profile bike light out there!

You will never know you have a light on (of course, until you switch it on!) Just ask someone who has one, they are out there everywhere.

Are any of these factors important to you when choosing a light?

1. – Size (low profile)

2. - Weight

3. - Non proprietary batteries

4. - Customer service

5. - A light that is made by a bicyclist who uses his lights on an almost daily basis and knows the importance of reliability and shares the same passion for biking as you.
