Description

Staying visible at night is important and this seemed like a very effective way to do so, while using very little energy.
So I set out to try a few things as buying a kit just seemed a little too easy and the price seems to really outweigh the components.

I wanted to try and keep the illumination as legal as possible, by using a red in the rear and a white in the front.
