Abstract
A set of relatively small-sized devices is disclosed for safety and/or illuminative lighting in conjunction with a horse or similar animal, or with equipment associated with such an animal or with transportation devices for individuals. The devices include high-intensity light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which provide intense, high visible light while being lightweight and giving off little heat. Batteries and wiring are also provided, and are included within structure that are easily attached to and usable from tack such as stirrups, saddles, or harnesses, or easily attached to parts of bicycles or other person transportation.
