Can you beat these lighting setups for price/performance?
Can you beat these lighting setups for price/performance? I made two suggestions, as I think for shorter commutes, there is something to be said about convenience of fast on/off the bike.
For longer commutes (1hr+ of riding in the dark)
- 1 Magicshine "900 lumen" light. $85-$100 shipped, comes with mount
- 1 of the flashlights listed below as a helmet light, mount with a rubber band or inner tube with holes cut in the ends (really works great)
- Planet Bike Superflash rear blinkie, comes with mount ($20-$25)
- For shorter commutes, with a premium on fast on/off the bike
- P7 Flashlights from DealXtreme with special battery/charger - $50ish for powerful light
OR
- Terralux Lightstar 220lumen (FENIX knockoff, costs 1/2 as much but is equally bright, runs on 2 x AAs) - $28ish
- Lockblocks to mount flashlight $5-8
- Planet Bike Superflash rear blinkie, comes with mount ($20-$25)
(Mount one flashlight on bars, one on helmet)
