Above is a picture of the first bike light system’s side view showing lights, individually wired along spokes emanating out from the hub to the tire. The lights themselves (12 in total) are mounted individually to the spokes of the bike wheel using a small custom made clip (made of laser cut polypropylene sheet here), and radially wired individually to the main control circuit board mounted in the hub.

This picture, above, is a close up of the control circuitry of the first bike light system. The circuitry is mounted to a special housing (made of laser cut polypropylene sheet in this embodiment) made to fit in the hub of the bicycle wheel along with a 9V battery (not pictured, also in hub housing). Each of the 12 lights is individually powered from the main circuit board via a Power/Ground wire pair.

A close up view of an individual spoke clip and light source are pictured above. Here the light is an LED, powered by the white and black wire pair. The LED is secured by clamping force applied through the tightening of a pair of screws. The LED is held out of the center plane of the bicycle wheel at substantial distance to allow for it’s light to be projected in front of the wheel.
