I ride with a 260 lumen led light.
Strobe mode during the day, nice having a strobe right at side view mirror height, helps make sure I'm seen.

Gets me seen!
If I forget to turn it on, I know! ... by the way traffic treats me.

High - Low - Strobe functions, uses 18650 rechargeable Li-ion cells.
3 hours on High, 6 on Strobe, 12? on Low.

Here is how I would break it down percentage wise.

Achievement- 0%
Ecology -0%
Health -50%
Danger-rush - 0%
Savings - 0%
Cause I like to - 50%

Good point - I forget to add the enjoyment aspect. Silly me.

Could have used it this morning. It was drizzling and I still wanted to cycle-commute in. My wife looked at me, after all the years I've done this, and said, "You're riding today? Why?" Why indeed.

"Cuz I like to". Yeah, that would have worked.
