I followed someone last week who was using these, or something very
similar, in the ends of his drops. *Very* effective. Until I got
pretty close I thought he had 3 decent lights on his rack, I was quite
surprised when I realised that the outer two lights were on the
handlebar ends.

They look like the dogs for my fixie. Unfortunately my tourer[1] bike has
bar-end shifters so I can't try them there. I think I'll also order a pair
in the new year.

Regards,

[1] Not that I use it much. It's a bit too lumbering for round-town.

you could always try putting one of those Photon lights towards the ends
of the drops. They would clip on with bar-cons on drops OK.

Oh that is good. I got some for Nathan's bike this week - the bike he uses to
go to college & back, as he rides during hours of darkness far more than I do -
so it's useful to read feedback. They shall be inserted in the appropriate ends
this very day!

What does this take the light total up to? Have you bought him a dynohub
to power all these lights yet? :-)

Red sky in the west -- Welsh nationalists burning incomers cottages again.

Red sky in the east -- Nathan riding his bike after dark.

Yes both the straight and drop handle bar versions. The straight ones
on the triplet are not very sucessful, to easy to damage, to easy to get
switched on by accident when the bike is leant against a wall.

The drop ones on the other hand function well, but how much they
actually improve how well I can be seen I'm not sure, but they are fun.
