To be clear what is happening here, I summarized eight (8) reasons that no commercially available bicycle headlight meets my needs. The first item on my list was operating the lights with mittens on. Your response was that I use flashlights as headlights "(a)ll because (I) cannot figure out how to use proper lights wearing heavy mittens lol." Do you really think that "1 of 8" is the same as "all"? That's worth LOLing about.

I am not the one saying something ridiculous here.

I use the bar reflector and spoke reflectors it came with and street lights. I try to avoid night riding. Im not addressing you, giving a dumb suggestion or chiding a special need.

Riding in rural areas, where lighting is a problem, creativity will overcome the lack of a pat solution. No matter what some schlock like me suggests it will never be good enough. So, have a metal worker or repair shop create something that works. The end result will be years of happiness and something unique.
