LED wheels for your skates
The wheels are available in various sizes and shapes. But what makes the wheels light up?
There are currently three different techniques. The self-fluorescent wheels charge up in daylight and then glow in the dark.
Graphix Wheels from Powerslide have an LED module that is clipped into the rim of the wheel and is charged via a micro USB cable.
Those LED wheels can not only simply light up, but also display complex patterns or even text while skating
Light wheels from most other manufacturers use a magnetic spacer.
This is placed tight on the axle and the rotation of the wheel around the spacer generates the necessary electricity, similar to a bicycle dynamo.
As soon as the wheel rotates fast enough around the spacer, the wheel lights up. The colour of the light is determined by the built-in LED.
Which ball bearings fit the light wheels? In general, all 608 standard ball bearings fit the castors. 688 micro bearings can also be used. In this case, however, the appropriate adapters must be used.
IMPORTANT!
It should be noted that all glow wheels, apart from the fluorescent wheels, must not be ridden in wet conditions. Electricity and water simply do not go together.
