is this live or memorex :-)? i.e. is the light from the headlights real and if so what lighting system is it? inquiring minds want to know :-) !
@Roland
It’s all real - Photoshop was not used in the process. The lights are a pair of Fenix L2D’s - one on the bike and one in my hand:

great! thanks for the tip, i wonder if the fenix light is available at a bike shop in vancouver, canada, time to check that out!
Hi Roland,
It’s unlikely you’ll find Fenix lights in bike shops - they’re marketed as flashlights. You can purchase them online through the Fenix Store:

thanks Alan! I will buy it from Fenix online store
Beautiful photos!!
@Derek
Thanks Derek - that means a lot coming from you! (Derek’s an amazing photographer: Bike Rubbish)
Roland-
Make sure you purchase a bike mount to go with it - the mount is not included with the light.
Alan
alan, thanks for the tip, will buy bike mount and will blog about it, looking forward to having a decent amount of light during those many many rainy, flat light vancouver winter days!
For those who already have a mini-mag light, there are LED conversions which are pretty bright:

I have converted all my mini-mags to these (amazing how many I had laying around the house).
Good stuff Alan!
