FYI, Kentucky is the only state I am aware of that has a law requiring a bicyclist's light to actually do anything more than make the bicyclist visible to others. I am not sure how, or if, this is enforced, what types of lights bike shops in Kentucky sell to ensure that they only sell lights that meet this requirement, etc. 601 KAR 14:020. Bicycle safety standards. Section 1. Front Lights. A bicycle operated on a highway during the hours or atmospheric conditions described in KRS 189.030(1) shall be equipped with one (1) front light which clearly reveals substantial objects at least fifty (50) feet ahead and which is visible for 500 feet.
