My day glo triangle is a good start to make sure I'm seen on the road, but there's more.
For taillights I'm using two Cygolite Hotshots:
,
These are quite bright - one is 30 lumens and one is 50.
My headlight is also a Cygolite, very bright at 350 lumens and light weight:
These lights are all USB rechargeable, and I'll carry a battery allowing me to recharge them along with my Iphone. They have daytime strobe settings, although I'm not sure if I'm going to use them unless conditions warrant.
On foggy days, in twilight, or if I'm not wearing a brightly colored jersey I plan to wear this vest:
PS: To mount the headlight I carved a groove in a dowel then sleeved it with a section of bike tube. I don't have any room on my handlebars since I'm using a handlebar bag. This home made mount allows placement atop my Tubus Tara front rack.
