The koolwheel lights are decent.
USB chargeable and bright but not as bright as shreds.

Depends if you want lights “so you can see” or “so others can see you” or both. Both will require multiple different lights…

For myself seeing, I prefer just a flashlight in my hand if it’s really that hard to see. For others seeing me, I prefer lights on the board and/or helmet.

Koolwheel lights are more the latter.

Metroboard also sells riser lights for that purpose, if you have a need for 16.6mm riser, you can do both with one piece. But it’s not user friendly as you need to know how to wire an LED without blowing it out, or ask for help on this forum :crazy_face:

How do those wire? Do you need a buck converter?

edit: ohhhh they have their own batteries :face_vomiting:

That’s the thing I dislike the most about Shredlights. More things to charge. More microUSB jacks to break at the least opportune moment. More power switches to turn on before I can ride. More shit to turn off once I get to where I’m going. Shorter lifetime. Dead light batteries. Rain/mud/sand/salt/dust got in the fucking USB port. Again.

I want lighting to run off the main battery… if at all possible… like this…

No the koolwheel lights have a 200mah battery inside each light, it flash mode the last a few hours. Not bad for something that cost less than $5 each.

Same here. I like being able to direct it as needed or quickly switch to strobe if a situation calls for it.
