I'd much rather have a set of valve-stem lights that are turned on by centrifugal force. Can find them for Shrader pretty easily, but haven't seen them for Presta.

Gonna start searching amazon.com for an amber/yellow pair.
Try the reflective spoke tape from Lightweights. No need to turn on or off or change batteries. They are SOLID!
