Better than nothing.
http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/r...e/DSC02251.jpg I had a set of these but the battery on the front went dead. The picture is the old headlight on the new box. I always wanted two tail lights in my helmet vents to strike fear in approaching motorists with devil eyes, and so I bought another set yesterday. When I get another battery, I'll have two headlights. Two is better than one when the lights are so small, single LED and if one battery fails, I still have some light. Cheap (sorta, $20/pr, $40 spent). Adds very little to my load. I'm never out after dark this time of year anyway, but a lot of riders are running their blinkies during the day and it makes sense. |

Warning, dim your monitor!
It's this bright when the battery is fresh.

Many, many lumens! You wouldn't believe it! I had to put my sunglasses in front of the camera lens to get that shot!

THASTS A LOT OF LUMENS!!!!!!!!!! PS,Im loving the helmet :)
Thanks. It's a Giro Pnuemo, discontinued so it was on sale in a mail order catalog. The same model as the one I retired so I knew it would fit. The lights are Planet Bike Spok. Better than nothing. Each one puts out ten dollars worth of lumens. I was trying for a Hounds of the Baskervilles look with the glowing eyes, but the result is more Pikachu. :) http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~n...es/pikachu.jpg |
Well pikachu is scary!!!

... Is this the same model? http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...CA331254-2.jpg I've decided to start a helmet thread. http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...cycle-helmet-s... |
Your helmet is different. I don't see how to put Spok lights on your helmet. The rail I used looks kinda scooped out on yours. :(

After seeing some of these pictures I think I'm going to have to make myself more visible. How do some of you guys have reflectors on your spokes and wheels?
Anyhow here goes. With light http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...8/3a027ba6.jpg And without http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...8/33e11cee.jpg And also a peak at the caboose Sorry for the blur http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...8/b66ad90b.jpg |
