Iā€™ve been keeping an eye out for bike lights that would work well for use on a skateboard. I ran up on this :slight_smile: ā€¦

Oh. My. God.

Iā€™ve used the dual led set from this company and itā€™s bright as balls.

This is just overkill

Yeah, I though it was pretty ridiculous :slight_smile:

nice findā€¦ definately an overkillā€¦ unless you want to make an impression, thereā€™s a 8 wheeler driving on the road :smiley:

It is best to use a ā€¢ā€¢ NiteRider Lumina 950 Boost Front Bike Light on your helmet or hold it in your hand. I have found if you have lights on your board, they will get loose and people canā€™t see it as well as if the lights are on you.

Thatā€™s a little more than I want to spend.

They sell a 450 light for $50 as well. Very bright

I am currently looking at this setupā€¦

I would modify the mount to use a magnetic clamp or GoPro mount. Supply power via USB from something like thisā€¦

Which would be connected inline to the battery pack, after the power switch. Look doable?

I use this Lezyne helmet light. I feel safer with a red rear light as well as a headlight. The height makes me more visible to traffic and the fact that the beam naturally turns with my head means that the ground is lit up right where I want to see.

I second the shread lights suggestionā€¦ they are a cool company that unfortunately didnā€™t get the funding they wanted from kickstarter, but still came to market relatively quickly.

Iā€™m asking what it would take for a discount for a group buy

Iā€™m definitely game for a group buy and know some local guys that would be aswell.

Ok here the deal

15 plus sets = $20 per plus shipping

Thatā€™s 50% off so if I do this group buy ā€¦hope you pony up and buy two ā€¦ they do offer rear red lightsā€¦

Let me knowā€¦

(I kinda been talking to them the past year or so they are quick to hit me back all the time)

Iā€™m in for a front and rear set

Iā€™m down for this. I would want headlights and brake lights.

Damn! Thatā€™s a great price. I might be in for a couple of sets just for ease of use. All the lights I run are actually brighter than the shredlights, but for that price and the fact that they are purpose built how could I go wrong. :beers:

@RunPlayBack @torqueboards Remember these cool lights we found on ebay for $20 a set? Evolve now sells them for $70. I guess their mounting clips are worth $25 a pieceā€¦
