Thanks, Andy The L&M Vis 180 Pro: spendy, but good. http://www.lightandmotion.com/choose-your-light/vis-180 https://www.bikelightdatabase.com/li...motion/vis180/ I have the cheaper 70 lumen version. There are more assaultive flashing tail lights, and I've ridden behind them -- until I could get around. I don't know the brands, but I'm sure you could find them at an aviation site under "landing lights." The Vis is nice because it pulses, as does the L&M Urban series front lights. It's very visible but will not injure those in close proximity. -- Jay Beattie. |

Don't remember the name but it eventually broke so i bought a no name from China off of Ebay and it worked just as well for around $10 and those have lasted longer! I use it on blinking (most state laws says light is to be non blinking, never had a police say anything negative) because you become more visible! The light is one of the brightest and on blinking you get over well over 100 hrs on the alkaline batteries. I've only seen one light brighter, it was huge, batteries didn't last long and it was super expensive... -- Ride fast, ride hard, ride for health and enjoyment...

Thanks, Andy "Off MY Tail" light from a few years ago before switching to headlights. https://www.facebook.com/OculusLight...31 941&type=3 and https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater 1000+ lumen headlight inside the red and amber structure, with brake light motion switching.

The brightest is one of the Lightman xenon strobes. http://www.lightmanstrobes.com/commuter-strobe-kit The downside is that the battery life of the xenon strobes is less than that of LEDs, but there's no comparison in terms of brightness. The tail light I like is the Cateye TL-DL1100 http://www.cateye.com/en/products/detail/TL-LD1100/ Buy it at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/CATEYE-2015-New-Bike-Light-Rear-Tail-Light-Warning-Lamp-Safety-Flashlight-Red-Lights-LD1100-Bicycle/32596712188.html Also look at the 300 lumen STRIP DRIVE PRO (REAR) http://www.lezyne.com/product-led-sport-strippro.php. But it lacks side pointing LEDs. Also look at the City Slicker 500 lumen rear light https://www.candb-seen.co.uk/product-rear-light.html. But it lacks side pointing LEDs. |
