Two years ago, dissatisfied with the low quality of commercially available bike wheel lights, I set out to make my own. Several kilograms of filament and several meters of LED strips later, I had a solution that worked. Bright, eye catching wheel lights that I only had to charge once a week. I shared the DIY plans on Instructibles, but AFAIK, nobody has made their own. So I&#39;ve set up shop to make them for you. https://rideatnight.com/ Ride brightly, my friends. #bikeTooter

@yantor3d@mas.to Looking this over & looks very interesting! Some questions: The instructions mention a "remote", but I don't see that listed in the parts. Does the "kit" include a battery and pair of lights for each wheel? (I.e., two batteries & four lights?) The instructions don't show how to charge the batteries? Does the kit come with a charging cable? (Which is standard, I assume?) I assume the batteries can be charged without dismounting batteries from wheels or wheels from frame, yes?

@yantor3d@mas.to Feature request: configure these puppies to run off a hub dynamo, & I will have died & gone to heaven: (Technical challenges left as an exercise for the vendor 😜) For example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029LMT7A/ref=as_li_tl
