In Halfords they had topeak mudguards with a light in the top and a light guide all the way along the back of it - so the whole thing lights up.
I thought this was pretty cool.
I think topeak are doing a few things with led's fitted, saddle bags for one.

And what is the point of this? - MiniRocket iGlow - Pump w/Integral Glow (iGlow) technology. Why would you want a pump that glows red?
Although I think your definition of cool may differ from mine 🙂

Some folk do still attach their pump to their bike - it's not a bad idea to have it double up as a light.
Yeh usually a bottle cage mount though, why would you want a red light there?
It's amazing how much attention is given to being seen front & rear but not side-on - many rear light manufacturers design lights that 'wrap' around a bit these days.
Topeak do actually market that pump with brackets for the seat post or stays.

Mainly the elderly, so it's particularly important.

Use it instead of a rear light, or use it instead of a pump. I like mine.
You'd think it was obvious.

New things can startle horses.
I think conventional consumer perception is that multi-function items not only function less well than a single-function designed item, but also smack of tackiness and lack of prestige.
I'm quite utilitarian, and think it's a cool idea, but would like to know that I was getting as good a pump and as good a light as I would were I to buy a good pump and a good light separately.
The Iglow X (full mudguard) looks ace. Far too narrow for me and expensive, but otherwise ace. Make a 35/40 one and I'll have it.
I really like the pump... Though I'd wonder how happy it'll be with the elements in the long run.

I can't fault it in either role, but I am not a connoisseur of either.
