A safety device comprises a light source, a power source coupled to the light source, a controller coupled to the light source and the power source to control operation of the lighting device, and a connection port that transmits and receives power up and control signals. In some embodiments, the connection port transmits and receives a wired signal. In further embodiments, the connection port transmits and receives a wireless signal. In some embodiments, the connection port receives a signal from an external source. In some of these embodiments, the external source is a remote control. In further embodiments, the external source is a program located on a computing device. In still further embodiments, the external source is one or more additional connection port of one or more additional safety devices. In some embodiments, the signal is a signal to power the light source.

A footwear traction device is provided that is removably attachable to an item of footwear. The footwear traction device comprises a traction portion having one or more traction elements on a bottom thereof, a heel support portion disposed at a rear traction portion, and a forefoot support portion disposed at a forefoot traction portion. A cable extends through cable guides or channels and attaches the traction portion, the heel support portion, and the forefoot support portion together. A cable reel device is rotatably operable to adjust a length of the cable to selectively secure and unsecure the footwear traction device to the item of footwear. Shortening the length of the cable tightens the traction portion, the heel support portion and the forefoot support portion inwardly against the item of footwear, thereby securing the footwear traction device to the footwear.

The safety beacon of the present invention includes an arrangement of light emitting diodes (LEDs) controlled by a controller circuit and preferably powered by a rechargeable battery source. The rechargeable battery source will recharge when coupled to any appropriate power source, including a power outlet within a vehicle and a conventional wall power outlet. Further, when coupled to such a power source, the safety beacon will draw power for operation from the power source without using the battery source. The safety beacon encases the LEDs with a base preferably of a hard rubber casing and an outer housing forming a lens and preferably made of a high impact clear plastic. The safety beacon includes a port and connecting cable so that multiple safety beacons can be strung together. In such a configuration, the multiple safety beacons are configured to share power with all safety beacons within the chain. Preferably, the safety beacon includes a magnet within its base for affixing the safety beacon to metal surfaces, such as the surface of an automobile. The safety beacon also preferably is operated either manually or by a remote control device.
