Back in 2017, you adored Rayo — the ultimate cycling tail light. You brought it to life! 1,500 backers funded Rayo and gave the world its first safety light infused with drone tech. Since then we’ve shipped Rayo all over the world revolutionizing safety and convenience.
It’s a smart, intuitive light that knows whether you are biking, running, or walking. It analyzes your movements, reacts to speed and direction, and then decides how to keep you safe. Oh… and it also charges to full power in just three minutes.
DAZE gives you Safety without sacrificing convenience. DAZE charges in only three minutes! Plug DAZE into a USB-C port and you’re ready to go.
DAZE’s “future tech” isn’t just a marketing tagline. Your current devices take so long to charge because they all use lithium batteries. DAZE uses a supercapacitor that charges much faster than your lithium batteries. Less time waiting around. More time for you. On top of that, supercapacitors can be cycled (charged and discharged) up to 100,000 times, which is 200 times longer life-span than the typical Lithium-ion battery.

Sounds unbelievably good? Watch for yourself…
You’re always busy… so here’s the end in case you don’t have three minutes. (It took 2 minutes 53 seconds-ish, by the way)
You are better than a “one-size-fits-all.” DAZE adapts its blinking pattern and color depending on your movement. On wheels? DAZE flashes explicit red like none other. Running or walking? DAZE emits a neon-cyan light on both sides to make you stand out. A significant motion trigger flashes extra bright if you make sudden movements like swapping lanes or stopping.
DAZE is the first light that adapts to protect you. With accelerometer and the AI algorithms built in the product, it changes to guarantee safety, whether you’re biking, running or skating.
If you speed up/down when you’re on wheels or make a sharp turn — your light blinks faster and brighter. Also, when you walk or jog, the significant motion triggers the alert action, which enhances visibility.
Imagine a vehicle slowing down. What color jumps to your mind? Probably red. DAZE uses that to keep you extra safe. You stand out from the red sea and tell every driver to watch out.
Daze emits conventional red blinking patterns, which is safe to use on road with bikes or other types of wheels. But… when you walk or run, you are protected by DAZE’s unique cyan light…
Red is ordinary. You see it every time you’re on the road. But Cyan stands out. It makes you go “What the heck is that…” and that’s how you stay safe.
Despite its accentuation, cyan is less hurtful for the eyes, providing the optimal visibility for the night activities.
Don’t worry: DAZE’s red keeps you just as unique when you’re on the road. A wide-angled light lets people on your sides see you. You’ll blink extra fast whenever you turn or pass.
DAZE adapts to your many different sides. Sometimes you’re biking for exercise. Walking around the city. Skating with your friends. One light to illuminate them all.
DAZE is instantly detachable. You don’t need a fancy mount and screwdrivers to attach it to your bike.
Attach it to your bike, bag, shirt, or carabiner in seconds. Take it off without a fuss.
It would be ridiculous to have a light that shines bright on behind but invisible on sides. With its full-face clear cover, frontal COB, and side LEDs, DAZE is visible around 270° – 300°. So, no matter which platform you mount DAZE on, it will provide you with the optimum visibility.
You can never predict what you’re going to experience. An unexpected rain-shower, a regular bike ride that turns into your personal best, or a hike that shows you a new side of mother nature.
DAZE is as ready as you are. It’s crush-proof, watertight, dustproof, and impact-resistant.
So that’s the revolutionary product you’re getting. Here are the numbers in case you want to see them:
We will be shipping EU parcels DDP (delivered duty paid) meaning that all VAT and customs duties have been included in the shipping, and there will be no need to pay for additional costs at all.
For the rest of the world, we will be shipping DDU (delivered duty unpaid) meaning that you are expected to pay for VAT and/or customs duties, if any. Please note that regulations on VAT and/or any customs duties differ among countries. You should check with local authorities for details.
For the United States, there will be no additional costs unless you are pledging more than 800USD. For Australia, the threshold is 1000AUD.
Hiya (again), thank you for checking out our campaign. We just wanted to tell you that we’re all about making genuine products. Products that are well-made, long-lasting, and bring joy to the people, hence the name ‘Hauteworks.’
At the current stage of development, we are adjusting details for the mass-production with our working prototype. We’re doing our best to deliver the legit and robust product that you deserve.
With your help, we can make DAZE come to life on the streets. Trust us; we’ve done this before. Thanks again for all your supports.

Manufacturing is hard.
We’ve been through 5 different crowdfunding campaigns, and numerous lines of mass production, and still get (overly) tense when it comes to a new campaign because we want everything to be perfect.
We’ll never forget that our company only exists because you (Kickstarter) funded Rayo last year. We appreciate that and will do absolutely everything to make you proud. We’ll work hard day and night to guarantee that. ?
Is the Final Product Going to Look Just Like the Pictures?:
Yes! Or almost. The working prototype you see is created differently than your final product will be. But don’t worry — the differences will be small that you won’t even notice them.
Shipping:
Shipping is an extremely complicated process. Don’t worry. We’ve hired the best experts to handle everything from moving out of the factory to getting it in your front door. As always: we’re a tiny company. So there might be some hold-ups or delays. If anything does happen, we’ll be available 24/7 to answer your questions!
