A fundamentally unsound practise I am afraid
How good are these lights, will they warn you away from road hazards, glass, nails, etc, or are they simply a beacon for the neighbors Rotweiller? Not to be morose about it, but drunk drivers are often attracted to lights of any kind, on otherwise dark roads. Having been a truck driver for years, my advice to everyone is try not to drive at night, night bicycling doesn't seem to have any advantages over driving. Do these things also function as flashlights in an emergency? I love anything that makes bicycling safer, but riding after dark, or before sunrise, is one way to be on the evening news.
