I donāt really think the market is big enough for eSk8. Yes we did a nice sized group buy, but there will be a lot of money tied up into development of what you guys are suggesting. Donāt get me wrong they are cool ideas, I just donāt think itās practical.
Features I would like:
A little brighter, while they do light up a decent are, who dosnt mind more light?
Flash mode. I think it would be useful for alerting people/drivers behind you. This should be fairly easy to implement.
Everything else listed above I would love to see, and if you guys pull it off you have my full support.
The lights really feel professional. And the fact that they didnāt give up after their Kickstarter Campaign was unsuccessful almost made me want to buy the lights a full price. And to top it all off, a hand written note on the order. Good luck in your future endeavors ShredLights!
Got my Shredlights in today! Quality is great. Only changes/additions I would add would be: Right angle bracket so you can mount in a larger variety of places, and make the red more red. I bent my bracket so I could under mount it on my drop-thru. Works perfect!!!
I havenāt got any yet but only thing I would maybe like to see is different brackets. Like I have a flat longboard but I also have a drop through with kick tails which would mean the light would point in the air. So if you had either multiple mounts or one adjustable one. Oviously brighter the better would maybe a projector style light with a beam designed better to work that close to the ground.
Would like a way to wire them in directly. 4 things to charge on top of the board is a bit much. Other than that, I second the āmore redā. They do hold well though onto their brackets. I was pleasantly surprised.
Iād love to see the micro sub port be able to connect to the vesc/esc so we can power them from there and maybe even have break lights.
Someway to add on/off to remote?
I dunno how feasible making them directly connectable is, and I feel like you might be able to DIY that part of it. However, I would definitely appreciate a remote. Other than that these things are awesome!
I have a easy one, putting a proper description on the customs declaration so they donāt confuse it with automotive parts and charge a fuckton of duty
if it hasnt been suggested alreadyā¦
how about some ambient light sensor system so they turn on automatically at night or in low light?
tied with the boardās power of course, so they only turn on when the board itself is on
I donāt know what you guys think of this idea, but Iām up for some ideasā¦
Thought I could try something different.
They are pretty bright and look sick.
This is my last picture till my build is completely done š:metal:
so if there was one thing that I donāt like about the shredlights. Just one thing I could change.
it would be this:
the USB port for charging is entirely obscured when mounted. not a big deal for regular users, but for e-skate we have batteries and the potential for a simple USB buck converter to power them off your main battery. however this cannot work because of the charge port location on the shredlights.
this obviously opens a can of worms about dust getting in the USB and suchā¦ but we are inovatorsā¦ we would work something out.
another thing someone might be able to tell me, the green light on the top does that serve as some sort of battery indicator? or is it just power on and charge light? I noticed its red when charging and green when powered on, but it there any sort of battery level indication? does it flash? battery level would be nice.
oh man, a version of the lights with a straight up bare lead coming out of the enclosure that can be wired to whatever you want would be super nice, put any connector you want on those or hard wire them into something directly.
