Profiad a fu bron ei ladd yn y tywyllwch un noson oedd y sbardun i Steve, dyfeisydd triongl rhybuddio LED BriteAngle. Un noson yn y gaeaf, ar ei ffordd adref o'r gwaith, bu bron iddo daro gyrrwr a oedd ar ei gwrcwd ar ochr y ffordd yn newid olwyn ei gar. Roedd ganddo fflachlamp yn ei geg a digwyddod droi ei ben tuag at Steve wrth iddo yrru tuag ato. Heb hynny ni fyddai wedi'i weld.
A near death experience driving on a dark night led to Steve inventing the BriteAngle LED warning triangle. On his way home from work one winter’s night he almost hit a motorist who was crouched down in the road changing a wheel. The person had a torch in his mouth and happened to turn his head towards Steve’s approaching vehicle, enabling him to be seen.
