There was another thread, I think about a year (or year and a half) ago about this, but it quickly got hijacked into a "you ain't cool if you run dorky lights" argument, and from then on, everything was major OT.
So, I would like to get recommendations for taillights and/or brakelights, and what you would use for flashing turn signals (front and/or rear). There don't seem to be too many ready-made things out there that are anywhere near affordable. Although at a very early planning stage, I am thinking at this point about LEDs:
rear night/brake lights: something like this, one string for running, the second for braking (?)
and amber LEDs for turn signals ( for example, 6 in this one, I think)
At this point, I don't have a good idea about flashing the turn signals.
And one more question, these are all 12V lights, I'm running 36V SLAs, they've got to take a minescule amount of current compared to the bike itself, don't they? If so, could I just hook them up to one of the 12V batts I have on the bike now? Would this work if in the future I go to Li*** batts?
Any and all advice welcomed, whether or not it has anything in common with my present possibilities.
Thanks in advance,
Cameron
