Do Bicycle LED Lights Provide Light for Riding?
In article . com,
" writes: My town requires bicyclists to have a bicycle light on when dark. I found an LED front light online for $15.00. This will will make me visable to traffic but will it provide any light for me? I sometimes ride in a very dark conditions but would only need a little light. If it doesn't provide any light can anyone recommd a light that does and is under $30.00? Last year I purchased an old-school bottle generator/light set for $28.change (CDN). The mfgr is Tung Lin (Taiwan), and it's basically a knock-off of the old Union bottle generators. Such a system would elegantly fill the criteria you describe. If you go this route, I'd recommend supplanting the supplied one-conductor wiring with 2-conductor lamp cord which provides dependabler connections and doesn't necessitate driving screws into your bicycle's paint. And it would be a good idea to keep your LED light as well; use both the generator and LED lights. cheers, Tom -- -- Nothing is safe from me. Above address is just a spam midden.
