In New Mexico, anything that blinks is considered a good aiming point for drunks behind the wheel so they can feel like they are driving straight.
I have two older nightrider singles that I rigged up with a lithium polymer packs that weigh in at 9oz each. One is strapped to my helmet and the other is mounted on the bars with the light out about 30-40 feet.
