Get in there and get you some bright lights for your cruzer. LED technology has exploded. You can hang reflectors all over your bike and you wont ever come close to a couple of well placed led lights for really showing up to other drivers and pedestrians . The nite fanatics will not be satisfied without dropping 1, 3, and even 5 hundred dollars for a head light. I'm simply not going there in any way shape or form.
You can see mine hanging off the back of my bike. It is called the Terra Lux. Man, I'm finding some really bright lights here and they are not that expensive. I've found 3 sources that really stand out as bright, economical, plus convenient AA or AAA batteries sizes. I'm really liking the brightness I'm finding with all this New LED stuff but I'm even more impressed at how long the conventional AA batteries last.
The first two are really what I call bright. The Terra Lux is no more than a drop light or work light at Northern Tools. If you don't have a Northern Tools in your country try this; http://www.terraluxcorp.com/terralux/Products/Portable/WorkLights/TLW36/tabid/92/Default.aspx It can be used either front or rear in flashing or continuous mode. As a hanging tail light as in my photo the red filter simply slides around to cover or uncover the 30 flashing LEDs. To use it as a front head light I drop it into a soft eyeglass case with the shirt pocket clip on it. The light is attached up front by zip tying glass case shirt clip to the bike.
The second light is also an even a brighter work light that is attached very much as the Terra Lux. It is called the Designers Edge l-1198 and it is also at Northern tools. If you don't have a Northern Tools try this; http://www.amazon.com/Designers-Edge-l-1198-Bright-Worklight/dp/B0015S86LG Both are really bright and are somewhere around 15 to 20 dollars a piece. There are other choices at Northern tool but these 2 are by far the brightest and ain't it cool that the batteries last so long. :ugeek: I painted mine with flat black to help the look.
The last place is in China. Shipping is free but you have to be very patient. That said I got a super bright head light there (4 - "AA" included) for $6.50. It has 2 flashing functions and I know that it's hard to believe but this stuff from China is not junk. http://www.kaidomain.com
