I've been working on a Luxeon-based safety light for running at night for some time now. I just finished it up this morning and wanted to share some pics with everyone.

(How can I post some photos here... Says I cannot attach files in profile ?)

The reason I want to share it is beacuse I got some great suggestions from some folks on this forum and because I think it came out very well. It uses 4 LUX I white Emitters in a blinking pattern side to side. These freakin things are bright !!

It uses a 9v battery and an astable multi-vibrator circuit which I constructed from some capasitors, resistors, and NPN transistors. It really works great

Anyway hope I can share this beast with you guys...
