Yep OK I can see a lighthouse too but my point isn’t only about who is brighter than you.... you aint gonna blow a bulb or flatten the batteries on reflective clothing. Fixing a puncture or whatever your bike may be upside down or god help you might fall orf it on an oily road or whatever. Now if I haven’t seen an HID on the road they cant be very popular cause (maybe not on a bicycle) I spend an awful lot of time driving at night..... maybe I am confusing them with UFOs ???
I must be getting old at 57 I use headlights to see where I am driving... I thought sidelights were for identifying the edges of my vehicle after all I don’t park with my headlights on but quite often leave my sidelights on in an area I think a car might side swipe me...... I dont leave my four ways on unless my car has to be stopped in a bad location in an emergency.
I do travel at horrendous speed on my bike…… well 20 to 30 kph so maybe one of those HID lamps might be useful for my fading eyesight ( yes half the car drivers are blind Smidsy’s…sorry mate I didn’t see you) but I need to keep an eye on the wallet too
Is your helmet reflective or don’t you wear one of those either
Now I am goin to have to do a search to find out what a HID is and wot they cost unless you enlighten me…. Pun intended
