Zackees Turn Signal Gloves

I like it when I take the left side of the road at an intersection and signal a left turn and some clown behind me honks.

you ride with a blinky front light during the day?

No, it is my honest opinion that it doesn't do anything, unless it is very overcast.

The sun is such an immensely bright light source that it dwarfs even the brightest blinky during the day,

I find a blinking light on the front of a bike or motorcycle (pulsing) draws attention when i'm driving.
the motion/front view isn't enough contrast with the background. hence daytime running lights on cars/moto.

imho even a small white blinky led would draw attention

How many lumens is the sun?

How many lumens is the sun?

at least five.

 

[stb222]

at least five.

Well, direct outside daylight in the summertime averages somewhere in the neighbourhood of 10,000 foot candles. This is equal to 10,000 lumens per square foot.

10,000 Lumens? Doesn't the new $25 Cree Light put out that?
