Twofish lockblock.

I like the conduit clamp mount to keep the lights under the handlebars. Cheap and easy to make.

got me a old schwinn then GOT a free generator set for it.
so now i dont need 2 worry about lights on my ride

It works just fine. Maybe the site had some downtime.

If it's one of those generators that looks like a coke bottle and rubs the side of the tire and has an incandescent light (at least that's what I think of that goes with "old schwinn") then the only advantage that thing has is not having to worry about batteries -- it has many disadvantages over more modern lights, both generator and battery powered.

If it's a modern hub generator with a LED light, nevermind -- you got the good stuff!

From what I've read the Romisen RC-N3 CREE Q5 seems to be the best budget flashlight-turned-headlight.

However, I had a quick question about bike lighting in general ... is the general convention to have a headlight (in my case the Romisen) and a red blinky? Or do I need one more white blinky in the front? What's the "normal/typical" setup?

You need redundancy for one thing. A light on the bike and one on the helmet is not a bad idea. Additionally in the rear you should have the same....one on the helmet, one on the bike. For me it's a P7 up front on the bike with a Fenix on the helmet and a Superflash in back on the helmet with a Dinotte on the bike. One of the tail lights flashes and one is steady. In the front, both run steady, no blinking to confuse cagers.

btw, the Romisen would not be a bad choice for one of the lights.

I just bought one of these, won't know for a while how good they really are.

has anyone tried using one of these on there bike? i know it is not a bike light but it might work good.

There's nothing wrong with adapting non-bike lights for bike use ... but that wouldn't make a very good headlight. It doesn't create a beam -- it just lights up the general area.

You could mount it on your downtube to light up the area under your front wheel to help you be seen -- but I'd suggest something with a beam for your headlight.

That's a suspiciously low price for a MagicShine light. I wonder what the catch is?

I wondered the same thing, but I figured for the price and using my paypal to pay that it was worth checking out. I figured that I've wasted alot more in the past without knowing ahead of time what might happen:cry:. I did do the "make offer" route and got it for less then the "buy it now" price.

Why not? $35 isn't really that much, and it's not like MagicShine is a totally unknown light. Please let us know how it turns out.

I thought that I had posted this here but I guess not. I got the planet bike super flash blaze set off ebay for $46 shipped and I love it. It's as bright as any thing else I've seen on the trail. Both blink, both are good units, and both can be removed if you want to simply use then as a hand held unit.

I went with a Zefal set from Wal-Mart for under $ 20. Exceeds FL statutory requirements, Really only going to use it for those later PM rides, times I get caught a couple of miles from home after the sun has set. Or for the early AM rides and it's close enough for the sun to rise, yet hasn't, the 5 minute head start I call it. I think anyone riding in the middle of the night or well enough before and after sunrises & sunsets might be dealing with more drunk drivers ? My strategy for night riding, go slow, stay on sidewalks as much as possible, use side streets that are little to no traffic when possible too.

My Romisen stopped working after about a year, and I don't mean a year of hard service.

On a lark, I picked up a 2-pack of something called TechLite Lumen Master at Costco for about $15. They're a bit short and stubby compared to the Romisen but just as bright and have several modes. No problems in at least 6 months.

Lately though I've been impressed with the Planet Bike Super Flash blaze set. The flashlights get more use walking the dog.

That's what I decided on. So far, so good, though I wish the center spot of the beam was bigger.

This is a great thread. I was looking at expensive bike lights at REI and underwhelming bike lights at LBSs before stumbling upon it.

Based on the recommendations in this thread I ordered a set of flashlights, and blocks to hold them, from DX. I placed the order on the 11th of September, I got a notice that they were shipping ten days later, on the 21st. I received them yesterday, exactly one week after the notice of shipping, on the 28th.

I haven't used them at night yet; however, for all some complain about the shipping time form DX, I considered that very reasonable.

I ordered from Shining Beam and got my package two biz days later. Good customer service too.

Where did you buy it from? From my own experiences with Romisen I suspect that some China shops like DX are selling seconds or counterfeit lights. All the Romisen I had from DX, as well as a friend's light have died. The Romisen that I have from Shining Beam is of totally different quality, and works a charm.

Just put a set of these on my wife's bike: http://www.rei.com/product/808471

No comparison to brighter more serious lights, but these are plenty bright to get noticed at a distance, are ridiculously easy to install (in seconds, no tools) and small / light enough that you could stow them in your seat bag or jersey pocket if you didn't want to leave them on the bike.
