Bicycle lights that harness solar power

A solar-powered lighting harness for cyclists has been unveiled in London.

Just three hours of sunshine, or even rays from a light bulb, are enough to power up the device for three hours of use.

The £23 "baglite" has a red light at the rear and two white floodlights at the front. It also has bright side-lights so cyclists can be seen at junctions where most accidents occur.

The harness fits over any rucksack.
