In my work we always start before daylight. Between that and staying out after dark fishing, it's a rare day that I don't have one of these on my belt all day long.

I think it was around $25, maybe a little less.

On overcast afternoons when I ride home I strap it to the handlebars with a bungee loop and run it in flash mode. From the actions of motorists I seem to be more noticeable on overcast days running this light than I am on bright, sunny days that I don't use it.

I use a white Firefly blinky. It does use a CR2032 battery, which has lasted for me over 2 years!

You can also clip it to a bag or your shirt/jacket. It's super light, but super bright!

To prevent opening another thread, I'm thinking of getting that Planet Bike 1 watt Blaze and Super Flash Stealth set. I'm thinking for the $50 it runs, it's a decent deal. Anything else I should look at for just a good legal light set? Doesn't have to be the greatest, just the best bang for the buck.

I hope you enjoy your lights, Carl, but i have no idea how they're going to prevent anotbe thread.
