Funny, I just ordered the yellow ones yesterday. I'll report back. :)Quote:

Awesome! Very curious to hear how this works out.
I've been looking at trying to make the very thing out of water proof marine strip LEDs.... (I wasn't able to find/reconcile how to effectively power them... a AA battery pack is sold, but that is not waterproof...) There it is, in a nice little package at a super reasonable price with the sale. I ordered two of the blue ones. My only concern is that they are "water resistant" and out here they will have to resist a *lot* of water, but then again at $10, even if they don't last a long time it's not big loss.
Looks similar to my Fiber Flare, but much more affordable. Very cool!
Sahalie had these clip-on colored led's that attached to the spokes so when you rode in low light situations the entire wheel lit up (I think they blinked too if you set them to). I thought they looked cool but failed to purchase them and I haven't seen them lately.
My bad...they still have them

ok I'm sold. Not sure how good they will work but for that price, I am willing to check it out!
I just bought the blue and will report back.
Looks cool. I like the idea of lighting up the bike itself and currently am using a BIKE GLOW in blue to light me up in the dark. Someone in a car pulled up to me once while going to work, and said he thought I was a motorcycle cop from down the block, as my bike was flashing blue and red. Hmmm... maybe that's a good thing, to have people think for a second, 'Woa, cop!' If it gets their attention, great!
I might just spring for these, and get one of each color. I just wish they were rechargable, and mounted on a quick release so I could pop them off and take them inside to charge. Been doing that with my front and rear light every day, and charge them USB at my desk at work (Dinotte 300r and Nightrider mininewt 600). I keep trying to stay away from AA blinkies, but these are a great idea if they work well.
I've had good results using rechargeable AAA batteries in my tail lights and Fiber Flare. Flashing doesn't use much juice, so I only have to recharge once a week or so.Quote:

(He's always wanted a stoke monkey, but finances haven't allowed. So, I bought him a stuffed monkey (which is actually a gorilla, but whatever) and zip-tied it to the bike under the seat in front of the cargo extender thingy. He's taken the blue one of these and highlights the monkey. He get's "Hey, look, he's got a monkey" yelled at him all the time when he rides at night or dusk.)
That's hilarious :DQuote:
