There are three different head lamps on Amazon.co.uk; items 71388, 64268
and 64269. The first one is with a LED, so it might be such a small one
you are talking about, but unfortunately there is no pic available of it
on Amazon. The other two look like they had halogen-lamps.


101 uses of a head-mounted LED light... cycling :-) I kid you not. When I'm
cycling during hours of darkness, I have two "normal" front lights on the bike
(each has five *big* white LEDs so as well as being seen, they give enough
illumination for me to see the road in front), two to three rear LEDs (red
ones, here in Old Blighty, and I have one steady and the others flashing), I am
also swathed head to foot in acres of reflectives & reflectives on the bike
too. Then.. I have a small white LED attached to my helmet. It is *excellent* -
It *really* gets me noticed. I think it's a bit of the WTFIT (What The F**k Is
That) factor. As a result, the entire Unfit Family have helmet mounted LED
lights for use during hours of darkness as well as lights & reflectives on
selves & bikes.

So if you hear of reports of low-flying UFOs in Norfolk....

Cheers, helen s

How do you USA catters like that he's managed it again, or who might you

The worse thing is, in his first term he governed as if he had a clear


mandate, despite losing the popular vote. Can you imagine how he's going


to govern this time?
I just hope the democrats in the senate have enough cojones to prevent


another Scalia or Thomas from joining the Supreme Court.

We now have none of the checks and balances that were wisely put in place
to
keep any one person or government body from having too much power.

For at least the next four years, we have a president with a mission,
nothing to lose, and a majority of both the house and the senate with the

same political bent.

Don't forget Congress is re-elected ever 2yrs so change could happen if things
get bad.

With one or more appointments to the Supreme Court, the effect of this

administration and this election will last as long or longer than my
remaining years.

This concerns me beyond words. I'm having a really hard time comprehending

it right now.

I bet if you ever get hit by a car, the driver will swear he didn't see
you. (I sincerely hope this never happens). Baggy has a red LED on his
collar which flashes when he moves.
