Flashing Lights For Bikes

[Rectangle] I own or have owned every light known to man. (ok, slight exaggeration). I currently have the Gemini Soft, Gemini Hard. and Kino Freestyle LEDs of a variety of sizes. Never mind Apurtures and Nanlites plus a few of them lightweight flexible led panels. But when I need a fast and simple setup, I always got back to these Astra Softs. And when I look at the image, I wonder why I went and bought all those other expensive fixtures. Just today I shot a multicamera interview for ABC's new show Impact with the U.S Attorney investigating the Matthew Perry case and because going thru security was so complicated and time was of essence, I chose to bring these lights instead. I loved the picture to much I wondered to myself why I keep buying these way more expensive fancy lights. And the beauty of these is that I can fly them with a micro 150 battery and because I rarely have to turn them up all the way, they will last the length of some of these long interviews no problem. I did notice on this thread some folks complaining about these lights failing them, and have heard similar complaints from other Astras too. I have never had any issues with these or my other Astras, but that's likely because I read the instructions that clearly state you should dim the lights all the way down before you turn them on, wait until the flashing green light stops flashing, and then dim up at your heart's desire. And always before I turn them off, I dim them down all the way, as not to forget. That might be the secret. I see people using them wrong all over the place.

[1 ms] Works as advertised! Portable,flashing lights with a high squeal! Just pull out the pin if one has to do small piece of mind! Better to have it than not! Safety with it!

[0.08 lb] Easy to set-up and use. Should fit most bikes.

[Bone Conduction] Bought these for riding bikes but I use them all the time for everything now. They are fantastic.

[2x AA Alkaline] The brightest flashing ever purchased worth every single penny

[ 4 Hours] Finally good flashing, I tried a few brands amd always had some issues, so far this one is great

[9 Sec] The polaroid is so pretty I can't help but keep flashing it in front of everyone so they'd get jealous but the photos I took won't impress me at all. None of the photos I took has.

[12 mm] Lightweight, clear, and powerful. My birder husband is thrilled - takes it on bikes and hikes and doesn't miss the heavier pairs that remain in the car.
