I need a light

[Zen]

Not because I need to see the road, I don't have any immediate plans for night riding, but for the end of summer during the twilight hours so that cars can see me.

i wonder how this would work for that purpose?

I think for cars to see you, a you need something reflective or casts light that moves! The little bar mount head light might provide light for you, but that doesn't mean cars would see you. Maybe a bright reflective safety vest? Can't remember where I bought mine.

Of course the wheel lights might be over the top - someone had them on the list. But you could see the bike!

Just about everyone in my club uses a rear light - normally a flashing one for extra visibility. The only ones who use front lights are the ones who ride home from the meeting point, and need to be able to see the road.

I'm big on hi-viz clothing, too, even for daylight riding, especially when I'm alone. So far I haven't gone for the reflective vest - awfully geeky - but I keep pawing them at the LBS.

I think something the casts light to the sides as well as the front is a better bet for being seen at twilight from all angles and side streets. I opted for this one. It's a very bright piercing flash, so I think it does the job. I only use it on flashing mode, and I went through a set of batteries in a month.

I have a like-new Niterider Flight headlight that I'm going to sell. I paid more than $400 for it last year and am going to ask $200 for it. It's an excellent light---bright, three settings, very light/compact battery. I like my Lights&Motion lamp better, so I'm going to find a new home for the Niterider. PM me if you're interested.

PS--for specs on the Flight system, you can go to niterider's website.

Thanks Deb, that looks just about right. Especially the price.
I already have a Planet Bike blinky on the rear and people have even remarked about how bright it is during the day.
