Pedalite - Baglite - Equestrian & Horse Rider Safety - £15.95

A unique and innovative battery Free, eco-friendly safety lighting product worn around the ankle, boot or on the arm and keeps horse riders safe and seen on the roads, bridleways and in the countryside.

The Ankelite is an ultra lightweight (it weights 85gms about the same as a box of matches!) ankle, boot and arm lighting system, used in the Summer and Winter for riding in daylight on tree covered lanes, when cloud shadows change the light and at dawn or dusk.  It is a battery free lighting system, designed to store and dispense light in all directions, without affecting the horse or rider, for 6 hours (when set to flashing light mode) from each full charge of light (solar) energy and to recharge from both ordinary household light as well as from natural sun or overcast light.  The unit can function in both flashing or constant light modes and is often worn on the arm when leading a horse. 

The Anklelite with adjustable straps fits all sizes and can be worn with or without trousers, fitting securely over riding boots.  Anklelite provides super-bright 360 degree lighting without the need for batteries.

A large unique floodlight module is attached to straps that fit comfortably around riding trousers, jodhpurs or riding boots at ankle height, calf or on the arm with high visibility reflective strips on both sides as an additional feature. The lights shine brightly from every angle so horse riders will be seen clearly by Pedestrians, motorists and others at any time of day.  The lights can be turned on and off and set to different modes – flashing, constant or off.   Testing with young horses has not seen any horses bothered by the flashing lights as they are positioned well away from the line of sight and flash at an appropriate rate.

The Anklelite’s robust design and versatility enables it to be also used as an arm light on the upper or lower arm.  The Anklelite is small enough for a horse rider to roll up and put in their jacket pocket or rucksack while preparing to ride.

With over 600 million batteries (22,000 tonnes) being disposed of and creating an environmental hazard in the UK (source DEFRA) every year, Anklelite is an eco-friendly product, that charges both in direct sunlight and in artificial light so it is ideal for charging at the office or just popping on the windowsill for a few hours at home. It provides over six hours of super-bright light from a full charge. In addition, the saving on replacement batteries alone means that Anklelite enjoys a cost payback as well as helping save the environment.

The lightweight Anklelite is weather and impact resistant.  Simple to put on and comfortable to wear, Anklelite is maintenance free and ensures that horse riders can ride secure in the confidence that they and their horses are clearly visible at all times even from the side.  

Anklelite’s battery free ‘green’ credentials will appeal to those of us who are environmentally conscious and even Pedalite’s packing avoids using unnecessary plastic as it is made from recycled cardboard.
