Abstract
The present invention would be a small plastic enclosure having incorporated circuitry and a series of light emitting diodes (LEDS) covered by a plastic lens. The present invention would be designed so that the lights would blink in a random pattern so as to attract attention at night. In addition, a pair of fastening elements would be attached to the side surfaces of the battery compartment in order to assist in securing the battery compartment to the top of a helmet or hat, if so desired. Each of the fastening elements would also contain a plurality of LEDS fixedly mounted on the surface, which would also be connected up to the battery powered unit and would blink randomly. As an option, the present invention would come with an incorporated clip attached to the bottom face of the battery compartment. The present invention could also contain an incorporated hinge fixedly mounted on the bottom face of the battery compartment, which would allow the present invention to be placed on a roadside in an upright position.
