I would like to see a remote.

What I mainly want is braking lights (rear light flashing brighter when braking). I also would love to be able to control the light with my remote that is connected to my master VESC.
To sum it up give me the freedom to program what I want the lights to do when. Let me run the lights on the esk8 battery, not on small ones you have to change.
Lastly, bring other models out! LED Strips (with programmable colors and functions) for underboard lighting, indicators and other lights for different uses!
I know that is a lot to ask for but I think that DIY Esk8 builders have their reason why they donât just buy boards that are ready to ride but build their own creations, even if they may have to pay just as much for it in the end: They want to make it unique and their board. Just look at the success of the VESC if you doubt such a DIY-friendly product would be unsuccessful.

Possibly brighter, and lights on both ends so it creates an under glow effect. For those who are into that.

I donât really think the market is big enough for eSk8. Yes we did a nice sized group buy, but there will be a lot of money tied up into development of what you guys are suggesting. Donât get me wrong they are cool ideas, I just donât think itâs practical.
Features I would like:
-
A little brighter, while they do light up a decent are, who dosnt mind more light?
-
Flash mode. I think it would be useful for alerting people/drivers behind you. This should be fairly easy to implement.
Everything else listed above I would love to see, and if you guys pull it off you have my full support.
The lights really feel professional. And the fact that they didnât give up after their Kickstarter Campaign was unsuccessful almost made me want to buy the lights a full price. And to top it all off, a hand written note on the order. Good luck in your future endeavors ShredLights!

(Rear lights) My girl holding the lights⌠she is jealous. She wants some of her own haha. I like everything about it to be honest.
Super quality feel to them.

Got my Shredlights in today! Quality is great. Only changes/additions I would add would be: Right angle bracket so you can mount in a larger variety of places, and make the red more red. I bent my bracket so I could under mount it on my drop-thru. Works perfect!!!
Thanks!

I havenât got any yet but only thing I would maybe like to see is different brackets. Like I have a flat longboard but I also have a drop through with kick tails which would mean the light would point in the air. So if you had either multiple mounts or one adjustable one. Oviously brighter the better would maybe a projector style light with a beam designed better to work that close to the ground.

Tried that, but the light wonât fit between the the axel and board without getting smashed when turning.

Gotta get inventiveâŚ
Need to relocate the bracket and have it screwed down to the deck with some washers so itâs not flush
Would like a way to wire them in directly. 4 things to charge on top of the board is a bit much. Other than that, I second the âmore redâ. They do hold well though onto their brackets. I was pleasantly surprised.
Only 1 box had stickerz!!!

Iâd love to see the micro sub port be able to connect to the vesc/esc so we can power them from there and maybe even have break lights. Someway to add on/off to remote?
+1 wire in directly, turn on when the power on the board is turned on.

I dunno how feasible making them directly connectable is, and I feel like you might be able to DIY that part of it. However, I would definitely appreciate a remote. Other than that these things are awesome!

I have a easy one, putting a proper description on the customs declaration so they donât confuse it with automotive parts and charge a fuckton of duty
For example: -skateboard accesory white -skateboard accesory red -sporting goods mounting accesory
if it hasnt been suggested already⌠how about some ambient light sensor system so they turn on automatically at night or in low light? tied with the boardâs power of course, so they only turn on when the board itself is on

In terms of remoteâŚ
May be Bluetooth control via phone
And maybe an ambient light sensor
All cool
And @Blasto oh damn sorry rookie mistake I guess
no worries man, this is the requested feature section 
I donât know what you guys think of this idea, but Iâm up for some ideas⌠Thought I could try something different. They are pretty bright and look sick.
This is my last picture till my build is completely done

so if there was one thing that I donât like about the shredlights. Just one thing I could change. it would be this:
the USB port for charging is entirely obscured when mounted. not a big deal for regular users, but for e-skate we have batteries and the potential for a simple USB buck converter to power them off your main battery. however this cannot work because of the charge port location on the shredlights.
this obviously opens a can of worms about dust getting in the USB and such⌠but we are inovators⌠we would work something out.
