    Best AA flashlight for handlebars

    The light is well reviewed. The only downside imo is that it is a 1-mode. (Well, some people want 1 mode, so it depends). On a bike, I figure one of the lights should be able to blink. In those shoulder times right before dusk or right after dawn, you don't need a light to see the road, but...

    48 LED bike lights.

    It look very McGyverish. This is a compliment ;) Nice work, shows a lot of ingenuity

    "Plumber's Delight" bikelight

    I really like this type of homebrew, especially the $7 worth of copper fittings part. Probably the only thing keeping me from making one is that it would show my crappy pipe soldering skills. I'm pretty good with a soldering iron, but sweating pipe is a different thing altogether.

    Recommendation for backup bike light?

    Is the diffuser from the manufacturer, or something you did on your own? Never mind. Found the answer to my question in a different thread ;)

    Cateye HL-EL300 LED bike headlight *boo*

    That must consume quite a bit of power. Do you use a sealed lead acid battery, or NiMH's ?

    Specialised Bike Light Optics

    Was a low value resistor used, or was it really directly wired to the AA batteries?

    New dynamo (or battery) powered 2w regulated bicycle light

    Nothing's free in physics :grin2: There will still be a mechanical drag on the wheel. When setup is arranged to generate power, the magnets will experience resistance as it passes the coils. How much drag, it depends on how much power the setup is harvesting from the wheel. Myself, I'd...

    Dinotte LuxV Bike Light - anyone tried one?

    My budget is considerably less ;) I am taking a regular AA $15 halogen bike light and putting a direct drive Lux III in it. There's plenty of space to work with. I also want to make an Amber version of it, for use in the mornings as a "Be Seen" safety light.
