Re: [RC] Breast plate lights - rides2far

The lights in the catalog are not what I am looking for either. The 
light I am looking for actually shines ahead and lights up the trail.
You could buy a fancy one for a few hundred or a > simple> one for
$50-$60.

Whoa! What are you looking for...spot lights? >g<  The flourescent light
throws out a pool of light maybe 8' in front of your horse. I would not
put anything that shined a beam out in front...for one thing if you're
riding behind someone and make *their* horse throw strange shadows out
front you'll bother them, and anything that looks like a beam is going to
bob with the motion of the horse and be irritating. Before you spend a
ton, try a cheap one from Home Depot and go out at night and see how you
like it. I think it's the perfect amount of light.  At the last ride I
was worried that my flourescent one needed a backup in case it breaks and
ran by Walmart. The ones they had were not flourescent and didn't do as
good of a job. Go for the flourescent if you buy the "6" 4AA closet
light"
