Lighting?

I just got a tiny Firefly Supernova light from RoadID

I love my Firefly. I hang it on the loop on the back of my jacket and I don't even know it's there. But I like your idea of strapping it to the helmet. The Planet Bike blinky I've got on my helmet is bigger and flops around a bit. I might have to buy another Firefly for my helmet.

And RoadID.com has the lowest prices on batteries for the firefly (cr2032) I've ever seen.

I didn't get an e-mail about 15% off, though. Hmmm...have to check the stuff from my half marathon. Usually they've got coupons in the goodie bags.

I got the Planet Bike Spok Lite for my helmet. I have one for the back, and a white one for the front (folks are constantly asking me if it's a video camera). There was a thread - I think on the bike section - about helmet lights impacting the fit of the helmet. I don't find that to be the case with these lights. However, I imagine I will have to remove at least the white light if I ever use a helmet cover.
Oh, and I think this one is on the short list to attach to my rear rack. I worry that my seatpost light is obstructed by my saddle bag and/or pannier.

My Trek rear blinkie clips very securely to the back strap of my saddle bag. I have the seatpost mount as well for when I'm not carrying anything, but that is rare. The back of my rack has a very large red reflector.

Does anyone have any experience with black reflective tape? I was searching online and found several types but I'm not sure about how well they would actually reflect? I have a matte black commuter and it really needs some reflectors from the sides. I have a Stella 200L for a headlight and I use two tail lights (just in case one dies). My panniers have reflectors too but I could still use more. I like the idea of black tape for not completely destroying the aesthetics of my bike during the day but being seen better at night. Any thoughts?
