Ever have the power go out at home and leave you in the dark searching for a flashlight ? Here is a new idea to solve that, a LED house bulb that has a battery built in. It charges as you use it and will stay on for 3 to 4 hours using the fixture it is in or use the provided switch or use magic. It will light using the touch of your fingers or a wet rag. I think it would be the perfect enhancement to the Uncle Fester Halloween costume you've always wanted or just freak some people out with it. I have no affiliation just a happy customer.

 Also here is a link to my new tail light bulb I am digging, an 1157 replacement LED that flashes 8 times quickly as you first apply brake. It is brighter in both running and braking mode, it's a safety winner !

It is dangerous to be bored on a rainy weekend. Just bought 2 of those tail lights.
Also been on the Bay looking and picking up some odds and ends for Lesa's little GS550.

Jack, I had Mike G following me around yesterday and he said it is much more visible than regular bulb. The flashing pattern he says is an absolute eye catcher and since i had a 2nd bulb he had me install it in his Tourer.  It is a red LED light that would work nicely with a clear lens but has no problem shining though the stock red one. Pics are hard to see a difference but here is key on no brake.

Thanks for the pointer.
Just bought me a pair of these.
Disappointed I'll have to wait until March to light 'em up when the ice has gone away !
