jmsjms Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I was looking on Amazon and eBay but couldn't find such a thing. I am thinking of a vest that on the back it has a left and right signal, and between them a large stop light. The vest would have a wire that runs through some kind of a sleeve and to your hands where you control a switch with 3 buttons (maybe). If such thing is not designed yet, then some of you can start a kickstart project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travsformation Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Something in the line of these? https://www.amazon.com/Direction-Indicator-Charging-Adjustable-Accessory/dp/B0813CLH56/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=bicycle+vest+lights+signal&qid=1591063067&sr=8-6 https://www.amazon.com/XTPower-Reflective-Luminous-Direction-Controller/dp/B07XBNQXKK/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=bicycle+vest+lights+signal&qid=1591063067&sr=8-8 https://www.amazon.com/ECEEN-Flashing-Vest-Cycling-Light/dp/B083MVJBJ4/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=bicycle+vest+lights+signal&qid=1591063170&sr=8-2 They're wireless too Edited June 2, 2020 by travsformation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsjms Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Oh, I see. But they messed up the colors. The stop light should be just like a stop light -- round, red, and bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I’ve seen these regularly, they generally blink right or left for no good reason (people forget them) , and aren’t very readable. You might be better off with a strong red light at the back of the helmet and use your arms (with light of reflective?) to indicate direction.. Most wheels have brake lights. (Just my opinion) Edited June 5, 2020 by null Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsjms Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 That's what I suspected. Looking at he pictures, the signals don't seem bold enough for car drivers to recognize them from afar. Will likely be getting USB chargeable big blinking red light that clip on backpacks or shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Into bold myself, we are small enough as is compared to cars, and our vehicles are so low. (decathlon rechargeable lamp, very strong right back) Edited June 8, 2020 by null Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsjms Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 I will consider, but I prefer left and right signal blinkers, and a stop light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) A pair of these, (blinks red) one on each wrist guard, could make fairly readable turn blink light. Edited June 18, 2020 by null Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsjms Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 I watched their video. I have wearable bracelet lights but they blink the way I set them before my ride. (Either a single light, or a blinking light.) I am looking for something to be triggered with a Left and Right switch that I will hold in my fingers (maybe)... or, maybe I can be holding each one of these in my hands and push the button as needed to turn on and off whichever one I need to use to signal the cars behind me.

PennBruce Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 @nullWhat brand rearview mirror are you using? Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 It is this one, very common, same as Marty. The fixation is a 3D printed piece that replicates the TSG pass hinge part but with a holder for the mirrors stick. Just tell if you'd want the file I can put it online.

I mounted the controller to my right Flexmeter wrist guard. Nice that the instructions are in english. Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
