I was a police officer before my accident. A cop that gives a ticket to a 
person using a mobility device for being out at night on a public road is 
treading on thin ice. A wheelchair is not a bicycle, vehicle or anything else. 
All you are is a pedestrian, and its not illegal for a pedestrian to walk at 
night. May not be safe but it is pefectly legal. You dont legally need any 
light, reflector or orange shirt. The person issued the ticket needs to call 
the police department and discuss the ticket with the watch commander. Then go 
to court if need be.

I will be posting a much better video to get the full effect, one of the main 
reasons you have a separate battery is not to worry about the drain on my main 
one! I'm not doing this for show, I'm doing this after my tickets this summer 
of having no lights. In the next video I will also include my headlight that is 
tucked under my lap tray with its own rechargeable battery. Yes that is correct 
I have three different chargers for my chair now but after passing several 
officers after dark with no complaints so far! There will be even more on my 
new chair next spring, these LEDs are the most wonderful things ever.
