Bar end lights

I found some L.E.D. lights that go in the ends of the handlebars. They're called Bar Flys and are
made by Summit Cycling products. Has anyone here used them? I also got a pair of Tail Lights that
have 2 L.E.D.s in them and are made by Secura. These both use L44 batteries, more like watch
batteries than AAAs. I expect they won't jiggle out of alignment so easily.

Testing will start soon. Unless someone has something bad to say about the lights, that is.

Pat I have seen the LED lights and thought they were a cool idea, especially here in Texas, where riding year round is the norm. Would love to hear back how you liked them.

Where in the in the Lone Star do you reside?

DFW area. It's a little cold here today. It was 50 degrees F this morning at
0800. gusty winds, too. 50 is okay, but the gusty winds can blow a person over! In fact, the winter
before last, I had to quit a ride because when the wind was crosswise, I had trouble keeping
the bike upright. But this weather is just some sort of cold front that will be gone by the
weekend. Just two days ago, it was more like 84 degrees F....

I don't know if they are the same brand as I have, but I have a pair of such lights. They work
reasonably well. They are not all that great in heavy rain, like we had this summer; I had to
replace the batteries sooner than I expected to, and do some minor repair work, since they had
gotten soaked and -- I think -- drained the batteries as a result.

They're cute.

I have a set of the Nashbar version ion my commuter. They haven't failed, but one of them
occasionally turns itself off.

My main issue is that I was told by my spotter that approaching and passing me in a car from behind
she couldn't see the one on the side away from her, because it was blocked by my body and parts of
my bike, and thought it could therefore be misinterpreted as a turn signal.
