I think you need only one simple, three-pin component: a voltage limiter. You put it in series with the lights and the third pin goes to ground, which I think would be the negative terminal, but I'm not certain so get a second opinion. :-) HTH, Aidan Yes, this is along the lines of what I

You can do it differently. Always good to see alternative thinking.. Wear a high vis vest. I never hop on my bike without one. When driving my van I've come close to knocking several cyclists off in the last year because I didn't see them dressed in greys or blacks. Then purchase two $10

So, do any of you need any real world (RW) help with anything? Finally in at work where they have power and water and phone and toilets and INTERNET - yay! (all stuff I don't have at home anymore). So, since the quake the traffic in the East has been a bit slow, so I've pulled finger in my

Hi, You can do it differently. Wear a high vis vest. These are incredibly visible, and the inattentive motorist is far more likely to see you. Remember: Wearing a high vis vest is a sign of weakness (motorists have weak eyes). NZ safety had them vests for $25. Then purchase two $10
