TetraLites tackle a particular vulnerability faced by anyone in a wheelchair: being lower than other pedestrians, motorists tend not to notice wheelchairs at intersections.
TetraLites, created by Tetra Society of North America volunteers, features rows of high-power LED lights in Plexiglas tubes, which mount to the sides and rear of a wheelchair or scooter. They can be set vertically like a flagpole. They draw a negligible amount from powerchair batteries, or can be connected to rechargeable batteries for use on a manual chair.
