I got a chance to try a new version of the lighted flagpole made by Arizona Whip. It has all 20 of the LEDs at the top end of the clear lexan flagpole, just under the flag. This version has blinking lights on one side, with the yellow ones blinking alternately with the red ones. The other side is red and yellow LEDs, on all the time. My neighbors who see me on my commute say I look like a UFO on my Catrike Speed. Excellent, that is just what I was going for!

The pic below is more or less what the Whip looks like coming down the road, but with a long shutter speed the LED lights leave streaks across the picture.

I live in Phoenix and bought the white LED Scrambler whip from Jerry last week. I think it’s a great idea and excellent safety device for day commuters that get up early or ride home late (like me). I’ve got some photos of a recent ride at a local park showing the whip in action:

Carlos: cool pictures! Can you take a picture of how the whip mounted on your Terratrike? That might help him sell some to both Catrike riders and Terratrike riders. I sent him a picture of my Catrike mount. Your whip looks great! Bob

I have an interest in this whip light – Does anyone have an idea of how long the battery will last. I believe the battery is a 9v.

The battery is a 9 v, and mine lasts about a month with use of 1.5 hours per day.
