Thanks for all the suggestions for lighting on a recent thread I had. We went to several LBS and the lighting systems were too expensive for us right now. But since we had purchased Rav-X saddles (loved them!) for our bikes we thought we would check out their lights. My favorite LBS had just gotten in the RavX Opti-Bar X1 5 Led lights so we picked up a couple for my bike and we are very pleased with them - not only the low cost ($29.95 each) but the performance. Our park trail closes at dusk and we had noticed that our old lights were horrible once it became dark. But these new ones light up the trail perfectly and cast light out the sides to that I can see the perimeter as well. They are very visible and very bright. Heres a pic and the stats:
5 bright white LED Light
Lightweight
IC control two modes: steady or flashing
Water resistant
Uses 4 AAA batteries
Battery life: up to 150 hours
Quick release mounting bracket
I mounted two of them and at dusk I will set one on flash mode and when it gets completely dark I put them both on steady. Works great!
