The Art Of Being Seen

Light Setup #1


Torrential rain on the way home tonight, and the charge on the 15W NiteFlux VisionStick didn't last the entire journey. A car pulling out of a driveway on Addison Road saw my remaining blinkie light a little later than I might have liked.

So I decided a refit of the Allegro's "dashboard" was in order, to give myself as many backup lighting options as I could.

Can you see me now?

Oh yeah, I can see you now! But now I just don't want you to pop around a corner in front of me on a dark bike trail - that would blast my night vision in an instant … and probably burn a hole in my retina!

Nice lighting rig - what have you got there?

Cheers, Treadly & Me (http://treadly.thingoid.com/).

It's a VisionStick 20, with the 15W on my left and the 5W on my right; below that, a smaller white blinkie light I got from Cheeky Monkey.

The problem with the VisionStick is that it's great while it lasts, but when it runs out of juice, it doesn't give you much warning.

You'll be the cause of UFO sightings. ;-)
