therubbishbin: The Velo Lumino A.T. fender taillight: brushed and polished versions available NOW! by A.T. Via Flickr: Webstore: www.velolumino.com Blog: somervillebikes.wordpress.com Full description and pricing below: The AT fender taillight is a classically inspired generator-driven fender taillight made from CNC milled aluminum with state of the art electronics. The idea for this light came from the lack of attractive yet durable, high-quality taillights worthy of fine custom-built bicycles. There are plenty of taillights on the market, but they are all made from plastic, and often crack from getting hit in their vulnerable location. The AT fender taillight features the excellent Busch & Müller Seculite Plus circuitry with bright red LED emitter, voltage regulation (meaning it won’t burn out if powered without a headlight) and powerful standlight (illuminates at full brightness for four minutes after stopping). The housing is compact, elegantly shaped from CNC-milled aluminum, and available in either raw machined or mirror-polished finish (see photo above). The LED lens is also a reflector, so the taillight meets legal requirements – most state bicycle laws require a rear-facing red reflector. The lens extends slightly past the rear edge of the housing to provide side illumination. Installs with a single M6 nut. Compatible with metal and plastic fenders. Easy one-wire hookup (for plastic fenders, see below). Comes with enough wire for a full frame run and all necessary hardware. The wire meets military aircraft specification, abrasion resistant and super thin, which makes it suitable for routing through tight spaces like the fender’s rolled edge and inside the bottom bracket shell. The AT fender taillight is 100% waterproof (and in fact can be submerged underwater), has been tested to withstand the harshest environments, and is easy to install. And despite being milled from a solid piece of aluminum, it weighs only 50g; that’s 1.5g lighter than a stock B&M Seculite Plus with plastic housing. If installing on a plastic fender, a grounding strip is needed to connect between the mounting stud and the nearest metal-to-frame contact. Made in USA. 3 year warranty. Polished finish: $119 USD Machined finish: $109 USD Grounding strip for non-metal fenders: $6 USD Shipping: $8 USD CONUS; inquire for quote for international shipping Webstore: www.velolumino.com Blog: somervillebikes.wordpress.com -- source link
