That Dinotte taillight is an eyeball burner - had the misfortune to ride behind someone once with one.
great idea in theory but I can't see it becoming legal- you're effectively creating your own road markings.
Plus drivers view cycle lanes as I do traffic lights- optional guidelines.
about how much power it's going to take to make that laser throw out anything like the image that they've mocked up. will we need a massive power pack? maybe a battery trailer? or maybe a super powerful dynamo - i'm reminded of that simpsons episode where bart cycles up to the observatory
POWER!
Dinotte use a 3w LED in their tail light:
that's ridiculous. fantastic! how long does it last for? about half an hour?
The blurb says it should last for 3hr 'high' or 12hr 'low' running 4 standard AAs..
VERY very bright and equally expensive.

I'm sure someone could DIY one for much less, given a 3w Luxeon is only around £6.
Word is they are working on an upgrade that includes photon torpedos.
I'm going to wait for that…
Hey,
Its not bad, but it's much better to have 'on person' reflectivity. Checkout the Claq here from Always Riding:

I use 2 of the yellow, and 2 of the red/white on my daily commute, and they really make sure i'm seen. The fact that you can put them anywhere, and that they give the tired old reflective straps and jacket a welcome heave-ho make them a winner in my book.
Road.cc, how about a review?

I'd much rather have my own lazer operated bike lane
Peter,
Reflective stuff only works when lights shine on it.. for the rest of the time you need these:

Attach them to your helmet, arm, leg or bike with the myriad of secure mounts in the box.. fantastically bright, easily seen by pedestrians or drivers at junctions!
and, if a car strays into the beam, it could turn into a very high intensity laser and slice their wing mirror off!
