ahh.... that is interesting! So they were intended to be used to install the wire at the factory, or maybe at the bike shop or home, and then not touched again. I'm guessing that they might survive being bent a few times, but risked breaking off after a handful of bendings.

yep.... no one could stay in business building a light that homely.
I like to think of it as "theft resistant".

The only special feature is the standlight circuit that I designed around a very large supercapacitor that I had sitting around. It lights up the lower LED at a level much brighter than commercial standlights, and it will power it for about 10 minutes. It was fun to design and build.
