Why Use an Amber LED Bicycle Headlight in Daylight?

Daylight test of DiNotte Lithium ion AMBER headlight 140A-LI-2C and subsequent encounter with cross traffic on the street at dusk. This was a few minutes after I got buzzed from behind which is in the other short video: "Hey! How about a little room!"

No the driver waved to tell you to get off of the road!

Can you even have that color on your bike? Doesn't say any thing in the law just say you need a red on back and white on front. But bet cop would bit** at you any way for it :\ i got two small ones on front of my bike i use sometimes. Also have copy of the bike laws on me to and a good story planed out :P Got like 8 lights on my bike over all i look like a cop how my bike is set up.

@LoveReflectiveTape Flashing amber may actually be a violation in CA. I not longer use it and just stick to flashing white.

I think the driver waved to apologize for getting onto your lane :)

@AllBentUp Sirens will probably guarantee you get more than a stern talking to by the cops, you may want to skip that option. Of course, this is only a suggestion ;-p

Add a 12V mini-lead battery with a bike wheel generator to keep the battery charged and you could keep your LED's going for quite a while.
