My 32 LED spoke lights are also used during night operation. These provide amazing side visibility.

The Bell Z20 helmet I use is their ghost reflective color. It is basically silver during the day and almost everything is highly reflective at night.

The Stupidbright 3000 headlight is set to blink during the day and continuous at night.

My headlight and tail light are rechargeable. My spoke lights each use three AAA primary cell batteries.
