Bright lights?

[GuitarRiderGrrl]

I've heard blinkies are much more visible than non-blinky. It depends on your commuting conditions. I have a variety of conditions and thus a variety of lights. Some of my streets are well lit, some poorly lit, and some not lit at all. Sometimes it's dusk, dawn, dark, or daylight depending on what meetings I have, how late I slept in, or what critical procedure is scheduled.

To handle all these conditions, including my inability to remember to change batteries, I have blinking reelights front & back, a regular blinkie in back, a hub generator light up front, and a helmet light. Since the helmet light & generator light are steady, I want to get an additional blinkie up front. The nice thing about more than enough lights is that when the battery runs out on my rear blinkie and/or my helmet light, I have plenty of other lights to compensate.

Hey guys,
Up here in Washington, the biking laws state that you shall have flashing lights - night and day - red in the back, white in the front.......... its all about making sure that the bean brains talking on cell phones, can see you......... At night you can have steady white in the front, red blinkie in the back -

hey,
has anybody used the Night Hawk? Looks like its only about 150 bucks, with the Ni-Mh batt pack - its a single LED but looks very nice!

I've used their lights for 6 years and have been very happy with them. The K2 is really as bright as a 10W halogen. I use a Princeton Switchback 2 on my helmet as well. This gives a good balance of light, and flexibility in aiming.

I have the Niterider MiNewt X2 Dual, and I love it! It *definitely* keeps drivers from pulling out of driveways and sidesteets in front of me on my busy commute route. I use it on blinking when I commute during daylight, and on steady when it's dark or near dark. Since I also use it to see the road, I don't actually aim it into drivers' eyes, but it has a big enough beam that they notice it.
