...this made me laugh. I can't tell you how many times I see people riding with the cheap blinkie's and with batteries that must be half dead. This is likely because either the people who own them really don't care how visible they are or don't realize that when you turn a light on with half dead batteries that the initial output will still look pretty good ( which can be misleading ). Ten minutes later when riding down the road the voltage sag on the half-dead batteries will kick in and the led's will barely be lit. Cold weather will cause this to happen sooner. If you use a cheap blinkie best to use rechargeable batteries and recharge them every couple weeks or so ( if you are a frequent night rider ).
