| Sep 26, 2016 at 20:46 | comment | added | Chris H | I think my comment crossed in the post with your edit - the conclusions are similar. It's not unknown for me to start loading a page and come back to comment later - on the mobile website you don't get the "an edit has been made..." message, or at least not anywhere obvious. | |

| Sep 26, 2016 at 17:06 | comment | added | RoboKaren | @ChrisH - yes, that's all in my answer above. Note that this would only work for straight bars, not drops; which reduces the market further. | |
| Sep 26, 2016 at 17:05 | comment | added | RoboKaren | @bzink88 would depend on the pricing level. For $20 lights which might replace clipon lights on a beater commuter, that'd be nice to have theft proof. For $100+ lights, they'd go on my expensive road bike that literally never leaves my sight when riding, so being theft proof isn't as important (especially given the bike computer). I personally resolved it by getting a $150 headlight which is on my helmet. What's your pricing level? | |
| Sep 26, 2016 at 15:34 | comment | added | Chris H | If you designed the grips right, you could slot a 14500 Li-ion cell inside the bar by removing an end-cap. Maybe even an 18650 (though you might have to design the whole handlebar for that). A single 14500 would give decent runtimes on a decent urban light (e.g. a 200 lumen LED with a good reflector/lens like many German lights) but not for trail-riding lights. | |
| Sep 25, 2016 at 20:17 | comment | added | bzink88 | Thanks RoboKaren, would the fact that they are theft resistant and ideally theft "proof" be an advantage in itself? The goal again is not to reinvent the wheel and create just another bike light but to create an integrated theft proof solution. Also keep in mind that my drawing is not final concept at all. This was my idea on paper to start grasping what this thing can possibly become. Sizing of the housing for lights and batteries can and definitely will change. | |
