While shopping at the expo of the Disney Marathon in Orlando, Florida, I stumbled across the coolest, most clever products ever! NITE BEAMS offers an amazing solution for the dangers of running in the dark. Sturdy, As the company owner, Tonto, told me, “we make proactive products which generate light for a great distance! This ensures that everyone can see an a nearby runner. Reflectors are REACTIVE and that’s just not good enough”. Love it! NITE BEAMS offers a whole slew of LED products to light up your night (or way too early race mornings) to ensure your safety. These products include:
- LED Wristbands
- LED Armbands
- LED Legbands
- LED Hats and Caps
- LED Pet Collars
- LED Leashes
- Fiber-Optic Shoe Laces
They even had all sorts of funky bracelets and rings which made me the most popular runner at my race. Everyone kept asking me about them. NITE BEAMS products are super for running in the dark, but they’re also great for other things too. Consider putting NITE BEAMS on your family and pets while cycling, playing, working, hiking or just looking cheery on the 4th of July. I’m going to keep my armbands in the car for late night fun when I’d like to keep a better eye on my kids and dog. Lastly, I’d like you to read this excerpt from the NiteBeams website. It describes how these products came to be.
***NITE BEAMS™ was the inspiration of Mike “Tonto” Alexander. He came close to striking a runner at dusk one autumn evening. The runner was not visible until Alexander’s headlights finally caught the reflective stripe on the runner’s shoes. It was almost too late. After that incident, Alexander researched products that would provide long-range, high visibility for runners. He knew the product also needed to be lightweight and easy to use. He could find nothing to meet those specifications.
Alexander had an idea for the solution but wanted to talk with potential users before developing a prototype. He discussed his idea with runners and was met with enthusiastic interest. His idea was simple; place LED lights on a lightweight, longwearing, weatherproof band, powered by a simple watch battery. Since LED lights provide bright, long-range visibility, and last up to 100,000 + hours they have proven to be the perfect choice for NITE BEAMS™ safety products. After realizing the potential of the safety products, Doug Malecki joined Alexander as his business partner. Together they market and develop products under the Nite Beams brand.
The almost instant success of the arm/leg and wrist bands resulted in the development of other products including NITE BEAM™ Double Vision™ Patented Caps designed for runners, NIT
E BEAM™ Patented Baseball-style Hats, Pet Collars and Leashes, and even fiber-optic Shoelaces!
