Pebblebee Halo is a simple, effective personal safety tool

The Pebblebee Halo is a small, simple personal safety tool with a light, real-time location tracker, siren, and more. It’s easy to use, effective, and there when you need it most.

You’re walking down the sidewalk late at night and suddenly you sense danger. You need to call for help, and fast. Fumbling with your phone might not be the right choice. When did everything get so high tech and crammed with absolute nonsense? What happened to simple devices that were good at one thing? Especially when it comes to safety, you really don’t need a ton of bells and whistles. Reliability is the most important aspect. Enter Pebblebee Halo a quaint and understandably simple personal safety tool. At its heart is a live location sharing feature that automatically alerts up to five trusted contacts when you send out a warning.

If you need to, pull the device apart and an audible alarm will sound — a loud siren — plus bright strobe lights. Moreover, it works as a defense keychain with a built-in LED flashlight. If you don’t want to make a fuss, but still want to get help, you can press the silent alert function. That instantly notifies your contact circle and shares your live location, discreetly. Halo’s rechargeable battery can last for up to 12 months per charge. It also has a Bluetooth range of up to 500-feet.
