Default Headlight

Paul Bobby wrote in message ...
Spent my first summer commuting regularly on two wheels and would like
to continue into the fall.
Unfortunately, my commute starts early.....it's starting to get a little
bit dark out there at 6AM.
Recommendations for a front lighting system?


You can build one pretty cheaply.

14W sealed beam $7
5AH or 2.5AH sealed lead acid battery $15
Battery charger $14
Xenon strobe $9

You can go up from there with NiMH batteries, brighter
bulbs, etc.

For details, see: "http://nordicgroup.us/s78"

Try to avoid the LED lights, back and front. These
are not bright enough to be useful. In dark areas the
toy lights let you be seen, but not see much. In well
lighted areas the toy lights don't let you be seen.
