If you've ever driven a bicycle in the dark at night, there are many people who have been scared of doing something that you can not see from the car. In order to solve such a problem, the start-up Beryl developed a laser-equipped LED light " Laserlight Core ", which enables us to inform the surroundings of our presence by projecting a bicycle mark on the road with a green laser.

Laserlight Core is a light with a built-in green laser in a very ordinary thin type LED light. As shown in the picture below, use it by being attached to the handle part of the bicycle.
Laserlight Core can also be used as an LED light with a luminance of 400 lumens, and by displaying a bicycle mark on the road surface of about 6 meters ahead like the following picture, it is possible to say that "a bicycle will come" It is possible to inform cars and pedestrians of the situation.
In addition, the advantages of Laserlight Core are as follows: "1. Notify pedestrians approaching the roads of the approach of bicycles" "2. You can appeal your presence even if you enter the blind spot of a car" 3. I can inform you of my presence to the car coming out of the intersection in front of you ".
Beryl, the developer, implemented the investment campaign of Laserlight Core with Kickstarter at the cloud funding site, and achieved a target value. We are entering the stage of commercialization and we are accepting reservations at the time of writing the article at 69.99 pounds (about 10,000 yen).
Also, it is said that government officials are showing high interest in this light. The examination introduction is advanced already in London city, and the result that it is recognized with Laserlight Core with the probability of 97%, while the visibility rate from the driver was about 65% in the existing LED light, it is the result . As a result, it seems that Laserlight Core is mounted on a bike sharing service bicycle provided in London. In addition, we see that the benefits to safety are highly appreciated as the efforts to introduce it are being promoted in Montreal, New York and Canada too.
