I bought a RealLITE (two actually) from Sheldon. Man that thing is BRIGHT! The warranty is something
else, too!

Good to know I'm covered if my light is attacked by killer bees :-D

gotta ask....did U pay more than $10.00 for the 18 LED flasher? I ordered a case of the suckers from
the distributor and will probably start flogging them after Feb.01 for around $9.00 each....with the
batteries incl.

I got one a year ago and I think it is fantastic. There is no way anyone is going to miss seeing you
at night with this baby!

I picked up mine at Target about 3 years ago, still going strong and annoys anyone that gets stuck
behind me in the dark. All I did was take the magnets off the back and took apart the light. Layed
zip ties across the LEDs and notched the gasket and screwed the reflector portion back on. Carved
the zip ties along the back and clicked them together to make a hanger. Then connected another zip
tie to it to attach it to my rear rack. Best $10 I ever spent.

The 5 watt pencil beam white LED project continues.... that one is rather pricey and takes a lot of
machining, current/voltage regulators and heat sinks.

Did you get the recumbent mounting brackets too? Gary
 
NOPE......but lots less cost. The safety light also has a slightly larger footprint at 24
sq. inches.

I bought one of these lights back when people first started seeing them at Target, or wherever it
was, but I've never gotten around to cobbling up a mount for my V-Rex. Does that company sell single
units, or are they are volume distributor?

Just to save hassle, if I can't get one elsewhere, I may buy a light from you for $9 just to get the
mount. :)

Sounds interesting. Please post pics and price when able. "said the guy on the trike"

Hmm.. I've never seen a Niterider taillight in action, but I do have a "RealLITE"-ish light on the
back of my Tour Easy. A co-worker mentioned that he had seen it and recognized me at a distance of
several blocks. In the morning. With the sun at our backs.

I think that's plenty bright.
