The light strip comprises a plurality of microlights, such as LEDs, connected together in parallel by electrical lead wires and encased in a weather and shock resistant microlight protective housing. Control circuitry is provided for controlling operation of the light strip, and comprises control electronics and a printed circuit board. A power source, such as a battery, is included for powering the light strip. The battery is connected to the plurality of microlights via the control circuitry. The control electronics, printed circuit board and battery are housed in a control circuitry housing affixed to the microlight housing tube. The protective jacket is configured to hold the light strip, and can be configured for removably mounting the safety light on an object or the clothing of an individual.
