Going to get some for my daughter's wheelchair for Christmas (though I probably won't be able to wait that long!)

Ooooooh, those are very tempting! Thanks for the link.

Any info on how they are installed... Both my wheelchairs are loaned (NHS and motobility) so I shouldn't really change anything about them... But if they're removable...

Especially for visibility at night for power chair.. 

So fun!

I’ll let you know how we get on

Hi @mossycow we’ve got the lights!

They are basically thin waterproof rope lights, they are attached with cable ties. There is a battery unit designed to clip onto spokes but it would be very easy to tie or tape on so I can’t see any reason why they couldn’t be fitted to handles/chassis etc and could easily come off just snipping the cable ties. Will post photo later x

Oh brilliant! Nice one
