I am advocate of turning on your flashing lights in the daytime it helps you stand out. I just found one which mounts on your helmet. On my recumbent, it stands about sedan driver level. I hope SUV driver look down. On a tadpole trike, it is about SUV bumper level. I am not sure if a flags does that much.
I also feel that manufactures should offer the option of a florescent yellow mesh seat rather than black. A black dot in the distance does not stand out as much as a yellow dot.
Nah Stick a Mirror on your backrest and save your batteries. When their Hi-beams hit you, you hit them...sorta speak...hmm may be a flaw in this one. How about just taping 3M Yellow Reflecto-strips to your backrest. --------------------------- "Alpha Beta" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

I have other riders that overtake me tell me that they see the light LOOOONG before they see me, and this is in broad daylight under a blistering south Texas sun.
You're right Jerry. I have one of these and it is the only tail light that I know of that is visible during daylight. It would cause terrible neck strain if used on a helmet, though. Dan Kluckhuhn
