1. A lighting system for a wheel, comprising:
a plurality of light emitting elements configured to statically couple to the wheel; a controller coupled to the light emitting elements that controls each of the light emitting elements to operate between:
a lit mode wherein the light emitting element projects light radially outward of the wheel when the light emitting element is within an arcuate area defined from a reference point, the arcuate area having an arc length of less than 360 degrees; anda dim mode when the light emitting element is outside the arcuate area; and an electrical connector that connects the controller to the light emitting elements. |
