That's a real possibility for one of the two rear lights I like to use at night, flashing and steady. The problem with all the LED tail lights I've used is that they need to be more or less on-axis if they are to have full effect. Clipping one to a saddlebag means that, usually, it will be off-axis -- y'all have probably seen night riders with blinkies pointing earth- or skyward and therefore giving only feeble illumination. I do have a strobe (Lightman) that will work well even off-axis, but strobes use batteries at a far higher rate than even brilliant LEDs: the Lightman has a life of 2 hours on 2 fresh AAs.
However, I'll have to try my newer, more powerful blinkies off-axis. I just got two original edition Vistalights and, let me tell you, LED blinkies have come a long way, baby, in the last 20 years. What is a PDW "arc welder class" blinkie? On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 11:37 PM, Philip Williamson < philip.william...@gmail.com> wrote: > Clip a blinkie to the saddlebag?
