Fact: Nearly 70% of all nighttime Bicycle-Car collisions are due to inadequate side visibility (
source)! Normal bicycle lights only point forward and backward. The Down Low Glow offers more side visibility than any other safety product on the market!
Normal headlights and taillights can't cover the angles like the DLG, because they are based on a directional light source. The DLG's high output tubular light source is as bright from the side as it is from the front.
The Down Low Glow features an extremely bright tubular light source that doesn't point in any particular direction. Unlike traditional bike lights, which use directional LED's or halogen lamps, the Down Low Glow has no dim spots.
Cars entering from side streets, parking lots, and driveways will see you faster than with normal headlights and taillights. Check out
"How Not to Get Hit By Cars" by Michael Bluejay, and notice how many of the dangerous scenarios he describes involve side visibility. Now take a look at your bike and ask if your lights provide the degree of side visibility you need to stay safe.
The DLG shows up as brightly as car taillights, and can be seen from
all angles,
not just the front or rear.
