Some streetlights use icadescent bulbs and others use LEDs. Which would you recommend and why?
Provided the lights are shielded and ONLY point downwards - LED lights use the least amount of energy but as their light is white they can cause worse light pollution for astronomers.
Why is front bike lights green?
Most bike front lights are white. When LED (light emitting diode, which offers much better battery life in a much smaller package) lights were first introduced, white LEDs were not available and so green ones were used instead. These were intended only as "supplementary" lights because, at the time, using LED lights in place of those with conventional bulbs was illegal in the UK. This law has since been changed due to modern LEDs being easily bright enough to use them alone, but the law still demands that a white light is used at the front of the bike - although green LEDs are still found in some cheap bike lights, they're still illegal unless used with a white light (either LED or conventional bulb). Lights with white LEDs can now be bought for just a few pounds, about the same as those with green LEDs, so there's really no need to continue using them and risking a fine should the police stop you.

Using blinking lights on your bike can enhance safety during rides by increasing visibility to other road users, especially in low-light conditions. The flashing lights can help alert drivers and pedestrians to your presence, reducing the risk of accidents. It is important to position the lights strategically on your bike, such as on the front and rear, to maximize visibility from different angles. Remember to check the batteries regularly and ensure the lights are functioning properly before each ride.

What are the differences between fluorescent light and incandescent light?
