Aerostich Mini-LED Lights

Product Review (submitted on January 5, 2020):

First this is only about the RED FLASHING Mini LEDs.
Next This is one of the best purchases I have made. These lights are not properly given their due in the description. They ARE tiny, so easy to mount and inconspicuous UNTIL they start flashing. First they are as bright as you could want, amazing amount of light for the size. What I didn't realize is that they have circuitry that flashes them rapidly from side to side like beserk police car lighting. They cannot be ignored in that they are very instantly eye-catching. So just buy them,as they will be a life saver at some point in your riding.

Now the downside. As stated in other reviews, THE WIRES ARE TOO THIN!!!!!! Mr. Goldfine, PLEASE READ THIS. The wires will be the ruination of this great product unless the buyer undertakes to protect them with reinforcements. I like to use heat shrink tubing for this type of job but since the wires leading to each light split off in a "" fashion, you cannot do this to protect the final run of wire to each side. And, of course the final run of wire is the most likely to incur damage and be susceptible to getting hung up as you pack & unpack thereby ripping the wire from the internal connection of the lights or just breaking.
Additionally the thin little wire pairs are not secured or supported at the entrance hole of the lights. Vibrations from engines and/or riding could potentially let the wiring rub against the side of the entrance holes and cut through. Now I have sort of sealed the wires using a glue gun and will finalize that step with a careful application of GOOP. but this should have been dealt with at the factory. AEROSTITCH needs to DEMAND that future production of these lights include an improved version of the wiring harness(heavier guage) on all 3 of these great little lights. Some sort of grommet or strain relief is needed at the hole as well. Your products are so great and you DO have the power to expect your suppliers to up their standards. As is, these lights, in my opinion, would still be a great deal at $30-$35 a set. Adding a few dollars in cost to make them perfect would not hurt your sales. Don't be J,C, Whitney, have courage Andy G. Do right by us.
I remain, to the dismay of family and friends, DH
