Thanks reen I think that I'll find it cheaper and give it a go, I go from Ealing to Deptford 5/6 days a week some nights leaving Deptford at 21:00 as anyone that does that route knows there are a lot of pot holes!
Flashing lights aren't legal anyways and I'm not aware of any wattage limit, I'm sure plod will let me know soon enough.........
I also asked the seller on ebay :- this is her response-
Hi,
That is a question my colleagues have asked me after driving past when I've been cycling!
To be honest, I don't know.
The important thing to me is that I know that cars will see me approaching and reduce the amount of near misses that I have. I use the strobe function on a dull day and believe me the cars never pull out of a junction due to not seeing me coming! You will also find that approaching cars will slow down or even stop as they don't know what is coming down the road in front of them. BE SAFE, BE SEEN.
Kind regards,
So make of it what you will!?
