Coming home late last night, we had all lights on in full UFO mode. 3 bikes: 4 led blinkies, 2 Cateye white 3-led headlights on blick, 2 yellow strobes, and my 25 watt halogen headlight and 8 led taillight. I did notice cars giving us more space.

I have been surfing some of the homebuilt led flashlight sites. They have some sources for very bright led components, like these luxeons. The appeal of high candlepower and low wattage is strong. I just don't quite see how it put it all together right now. I would be interested in whatever homebrew led lights anyone has, like this "spare rib" system.

As far as neon goes, I saw some neon wire lights for cars at Big Lots this week. Does anyone know how this wire works?
