Years ago, I bought 2 LED Flashers for the back of my road bike.
REI I believe.
One red & one white
I now use them for my bus.
I store them next
to the 3 Reflective road Triangles
on the shelf behind the rear hatch.
 I paid less than 10 bucks a piece for them as I recall (1990 :o)
they stand on an angle mount I built for them out of SS
that I used to mount them on my bike with.
And, Seriously you can see them for miles!

PS: 2 AA batteries (not included :o)
(got the triangles, brand new in the box,
out of a Van at the pick & pull :o)
