These new Magnetic Bike Lights look sweet

These small LED bike lights from Copenhagen Parts are the cleanest bike light design I’ve seen. Designed for use with steel frames, they utilize magnets to attach to your bike for an extremely clean look with no mounting points, straps, or fasteners. Not only are they extremely compact, but they turn on when placed on your frame, and switch off when removed. Assuming you place them in a pocket that doesn’t have anything ferrous in it, you’re going to have a light with plenty of juice left when you need them. You will need to run a steel frame for the magnets to work, but since the current trend in urban city bikes is to run steel frames, most of us are in luck. (as you can see below, they clearly attach to Bianchi frames just fine)

Placing these magnetic bike lights on a steel frame activates the on switch.

We’re loving the clean design aesthetic, and the idea that these lights will never accidentally turn on in our pocket or bags. The drawback? They’re not going to be available until fall, and even then, since they’re based in Copenhagen, it might be even longer before they are distributed in the states. – via Gizmodo
