How many lights are on your bike?

[Ellis456]

Was just wondering how many lights you have on your bike/self?.

I've got 4 in total, 2 rear and 2 front. For the rear one stays on lit the other flashes, for front one is my led torch the other a flashing one. I've got another spare it's a crap rac one thats green(what the hell) that im going to mod to white led's so was thinking of putting it on my helmet or something.

Wow impressive list!, can you be seen from space with that much illumination?.

You know when you look at light pollution maps, and London is this big glowing aura? That's just gaz's lights.

I bet he looks like a Blackpool tram during the Iluminations

. Sorry Gaz!!!!
I don't have any lights on my bike and have also taken off the reflectors. This wasn't a weight saving exercise, they just looked sh*te. I will invest in a set when the dark nights arrive.

2 front, 2 rear for my (winter) commute.

In winter when i need them.

1 magicshine + 1 cree p 4 torch on the front.

3 superflash + 1 helmet flasher on the back.

1 white steady on the front, 1 red flashing on the back, both Smart Polaris 7s. I'm considering buying an extra front white just to have on steady so I have 2 beams that I can have facing forward, the front one is weak considering the back is really decent. They're at wiggle on sale at the mo - 50% off so if you don't have any lights, consider them!

2 front, 2 rear on bike plus a couple of dangly cateyes on my rucksack + 1 helmet for winter commuting

2 white steady on the front, 1 red flashing, 1 red steady on the back.

Use both front flashing in daylight if filtering in heavy traffic to pick up in drivers mirrors.

One on the rear - cateye TL-LD150. That's it. I don't cycle when it's dark so I only keep the rear one on if the weather gets bad and i need to be seen from behind.

Front: hope vision 1 and a smaller, cheaper one, less battery intensive one which is used as see-me-when-it's-gloomy or, when the hope is on, aimed at the road just ahead of my front wheel for pot-hole spotting.

Back: a cateye and another one, both on if dark, just one when it's gloomy.

Some will say that i have gone overboard on lights, but in a city environment you are competing with lights from everywhere and you need to stand out to be seen.

 

[gavroche]

None. I only ride in daylight.

On my regular commuter: Front: a B&M IQ Cyo (hub-dynamo powered) and a Dinotte. Rear: a B&M light powered from the hub and another Dinotte.

I need to replace the front Dinotte though, it's getting cranky.

For all my other bikes I use the Dinotte up front and a Smart Superflash on the rear.
