    Buddy Beat Light – Wearable Presence / Reading Light & Bluetooth Speaker

    At the end of the day, there’s nothing like going for a nice afternoon stroll outside before dusk settles in. However, whether you’re simply going for a walk alone to enjoy the fresh air outdoors, looking to take your dog on a walk with you, or even planning on going for a bike ride before it gets dark, evening activities can quickly become dangerous whenever your presence isn’t properly signaled. Now, while wearing one (or more) reflective piece(s) of clothing would allow you to warn vehicles passing close by you that you’re there, having a presence light with you can actually make it much more safer for you when you’re looking to engage on any sort of evening activities. That said, for anyone looking for a reliable presence light that you can take with you when going for a walk outside after the sun has set, there’s nothing like the Buddy Beat Light.

    The Buddy Beat Light is a wearable neck presence light that’s designed to light up the space around you, featuring a magnet loop construction that keeps it securely closed, Front and Back LEDs for signaling your presence, a set of LED Reading Lights for illuminating the space in front of you, and a built-in Wireless Bluetooth Speaker and Microphone for listening to music and taking calls, featuring an average of 6 hours of battery life, or up to 20 hours of runtime when using just its LED Lights.

    This wearable 2-in-1 presence light and Bluetooth Speaker is a great personal accessory for enjoying the outdoors during the nighttime, whether you’re simply planing to go on a walk; to do a little exercise outside like running, jogging, or biking; or even for times when you’re out camping.

    Its Frontal LED Reading Lights also make this device perfect for all hobbyists, as it can easily keep your work space illuminated when reading, knitting, crocheting, sewing, repairing, or when doing just about any sort of DIY activity.

    Now, without any further ado, let’s have a more detailed look at the Buddy Beat Light and check out exactly how this wearable presence light is designed to work.

    DESIGN & SPECS

    Starting with the unit’s size, this wearable presence light comes at a fairly compact size, measuring just 8.9 inches tall by 7.5 inches wide by just 1.3 inches thick, and the device is also quiet lightweight, as it only weighs a measly 7.2 oz.

    Wearable Presence and Reading LightThanks to its ultra-portable design, even kids can enjoy wearing the Buddy Beat Light, no matter if it’s for reading, for school activities such as doing their homework or studying, or for doing any sort of outdoor activities like strolling, playing outdoors, or even camping.

    Moving on to the Buddy Beat Light’s design. As said before, this wearable presence light features a Magnet Loop Construction that keeps it securely closed around your neck. The device comes equipped with magnets that are built around each end of its LED Lights arms in order to keep it secure around your neck while you’re wearing it.

    Thanks to this innovative design that’s mainly focused on usability, not only can you wear the Buddy Beat Light for walking during the night hours, but you can also wear it while exercising (such as when running or when riding a bike) and without ever having to worry about having it falling out of your neck.

    Then, for its built-in LED Lights, we have a total of 6 integrated LED Lights, which are evenly distributed throughout this wearable presence light in three sets of 2 lights each.

    Moreover, at the back-side of the unit, there’s also another pair (x2) of LED Lights that helps you to remain visible, no matter if you’re coming or going, and there’s also a Glow-In-The-Dark Logo between those two Back LED Lights that further aids with visibility.

    Last but not least, integrated at the middle of both of the device’s Magnetic Arms, users will also find two built-in Wireless Bluetooth Speakers that can be used for listening to music, and those also work together with a built-in Microphone that’s used for taking any incoming voice calls.

    Wearable Presence and Reading LightINTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL

    For the Buddy Beat Light’s controls, we have a very simple interface (or control panel) that’s easy and intuitive to use, as it comes organized in the form of a small set of built-in controls, which are found at the middle of each of the device’s Magnetic Arms.

    For using the device’s built-in Wireless Bluetooth Speaker and Microphone, this wearable neck presence light also features Bluetooth 4.2 Connectivity (operating at 2.4Ghz), with the unit supporting up to a 33 ft. range for its Wireless Bluetooth Connectivity.

    BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE

    Finally, for the Buddy Beat Light’s battery, this wearable neck presence light is powered by a set of high-end 2000mAh Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries that are rated to be super-safe to use.

    The unit’s internal batteries feature an average of 6 hours of battery life when using both the unit’s LED Lights and Bluetooth Speaker and Microphone functionalities all together, up to 10 hours when using just its Bluetooth Speaker and Microphone, or ultimately up to 20 hours of runtime when using just its LED Lights.

    For recharging the unit’s internal batteries, all you have to do is to connect the included USB-C Charging Cable to the device’s USB-C Charging port (found at the right-side arm, as mentioned earlier). It should only take you around 4 hours to have the Buddy Beat Light’s internal batteries recharging from 0% back to 100% (full power).
