    Meh, you can get a set of jeweller's screwdrivers for next to nothing, handy to have as well.
    Sure, bit of a drawback if you find yourself wanting to replace the batteries away from home though- I was out with someone who was rather struggling with it! The Smart is a standard use coin or key to pop open type. Drawback of that of course is that there is more of a possibility the light will separate accidentally.

    Yes, it took me a solid 20 minutes to get the damn battery changed.

    On a related note , is it possible to find a Sam Browne belt with leds?
    I've flashing bits on my ankles and arms, back of the bike and front, but the middle bit..ie my torso isnt lit up, a flashing Sam Browne would be pretty good i reckon.

    Niteize do a vest with glowing strips.

    Really though, like Tunney (again), I've given up on christmas tree stuff. I have a very bright front light and two smart 1/2 watts on the back. One blinking on me, one steady on the bike. Handy to have a light on your person if you come off the bike. Good quality reliable bright lights.

    I don't understand why people show such reckless disregard for their own safety. It's quite obvious to anyone that a dark cyclist is nearly invisible from the inside of a car. You don't need to be a driver.

    "fluorescent pain", that's just great!

    I've a vest with two lines of flashing lights, I haven't been wearing as it makes me look like a christmas tree, and its a bit small tbh. I've a good 5 LED flashing light on the front and a good rear red led with white strobe. I've a hi vis cycling jacket which is wind proof so I usually wear that.

    Crazy the number of unlit cyclists, they tend to be the ones that break all lights and cycle up the instead of trucks at junctions.
