font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ffff00;
background-color: #1cbf01;"><span style="color: #008000;
background-color:

style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><span
style="background-color: #1cbf01;"><span
style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="font-size:
medium;">A special thanks to Crystal from LightsCastle for
sending me these lights to review (more as a novelty gift for my
son)</span> </span></span></span></span></p><p
style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva; font-size: medium;">These little lights are very easy to
use, they simply thread onto the tire valves after removing the
valve cap.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><br></span></p><p
style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva; font-size: medium;">They also come with an adaptor to
enable fitting of both type of bicycle tire valve.</span></p><p
style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;">The
lights are called fireflys and come well packaged as shown
below</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><img
src="
HTML http://just.razzi.me/photos/1041522/59ba687.jpg"<br
/>width="1000" height="1246"></span></p><p style="text-align:
left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;">You
quite simply unscrew the firefly, remove a protective plastic
strip (Storage Battery Isolator) and screw back
together.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><br></span></p><p
style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva; font-size: medium;">The firefly will only light when it
is knocked or when there is a centrifugal force exerted upon
them (the rotation of the wheel)</span></p><p style="text-align:
left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;">This is
what they look like when fitted</span></p><p style="text-align:

/>width="1000" height="1057"></span></p><p style="text-align:
left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;">I tried
to get a decent still picture without much luck but here are the
best ones LOL</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span

left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;">Since
the images are not too great, here is an even worse quality
video.... hey what did you expect from me ? a good one ?
;-)</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><br></span></p><p
style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,

the dark with the fireflys on</span></p><p style="text-align:

style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #008000;
font-size: large;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva;">Pros</span></strong></span></p><p style="text-align:
left;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: medium;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">Fantastic fun for
kids</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="color: #000000; font-size: medium;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">Seconds to
fit</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="color: #000000; font-size: medium;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">Long shelf life on
batteries (only uses power when moved)</span></span></p><p
style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;
font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva;">Very bright</span></span></p><p style="text-align:
left;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: medium;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">Nice blue glow when
activated</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span
style="color: #008000;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #000000;">Did I
mention great fun for kids ?</span></span><strong><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"> </span></strong><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #000000; font-size:
xx-small;">and adults too</span></span></p><p style="text-align:
left;"><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="font-family:
verdana, geneva; color: #000000; font-size:
xx-small;"><br></span></span></p><p style="text-align:
left;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size:
large;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva;">Cons</span></strong></span></p><p style="text-align:
left;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: medium;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">None</span></span></p><p
style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;
font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva;"><br></span></span></p><p style="text-align:
left;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: medium;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">If you want some fun bike
lights for your kids that are cheap as chips. You cannot go
wrong with the fireflys</span></span></p><p style="text-align:
left;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: medium;"><span
style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><br></span></span></p><p
style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;
font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana,
geneva;">I'm off to steal his fireflys and put them on my bike :

I want these. Imagine the uses. Cable tied to the dogs legs or
tail would be a good one.

LOL, strange as it may seem, I don't think you would lose your
dog :D

Very true that Graham, best not use them on the main road though
as people will think a UFO has landed :)
