Source of LED lamps and flashlights - NZE in Angono, Rizal

Wheels of Happiness

Rizal Philippines
April 15, 2017



There is no need to go to Quiapo, Riverbanks, Manga or even at MoA to get your led flashlight and blinker safety lights.  They are available right in Angono, at Capt Aliano St., (at the road beside the church coming from Dona Aurora, to E de la Paz)  The flash light is P350.00, the mount is 40.00 and spare batt is P90.00.  The led lamp, is only P150.00 (rechargeable)

Punta na bili na.

Some quarters are suspecting that when I post commercial establishments, like the Bikers World,  I am kasosyo.  No I am not.  I just want our kapadyaks where they can acquire accessories for low low bargain price.  Bakit ako sososyo kung maliit lang ang kita?  Siyempre doon tayo sa big time.  Ha6

High intensity rechargeable Bike King bike lamps

Wheels of Happiness

Rizal Philippines
April 19, 2016



                            The LED output could be focused because the flashlight is telescopic

I recently acquired through new friends Reymond Pactao who studies in Quiapo a Bike King rechargeable high intensity LED flashlight.  It has a bike mount. It cost P350 with the bike mount  The extra battery set me back by P100 and the charger P50.00   It is made of aluminum  tube and LED and emits 12,000 lumens of light power.  The flash light can be zoomed.  It found it to be useful and to my liking.  You can use this as an ordinary flashlight

                                           The charger the carrying case and spare battery


                                           It has sturdy aluminum body with clip for everyday use

Several bike rides this Holiday (#Undas)

Wheels of Happiness

I did 3 bike rides this weekend:  last October 31, November 1 and November 2, 2014 (yesterday) - for Undas

For October 31, 2014, I biked to Morong.  It was a dual purpose - bike ride and checking preparation for November 1 (for Undas)  I left at 4:20 and I was in Morong by 5:20.  By 5:40, I was on my way back because it was getting dark.   I was home by 7:00 (because the traffic at Pantok slowed me down)  It was good I had my LED lamp at the bike...

On November 1, I went up to Marian Hills for some inquiry with the owner/caretaker. I went up at around 10 am.  It was as usual a rough ride.  I rode up to where the concrete road ended.  It is really dangerous to ride up with a road bike.  Falls or losing control can be inevitable.  (Bad news for other riders -  DPWH guys were allegedly measuring the road again - will they construct this time)

My less than P100 rechargeable LED flashlight on Fuji Bike (Do It Yourself)

Wheels of Happiness

Angono, Rizal  Philippines  December 22, 2013



Merry Christmas to all cyclists around the world, and those who love good health and long life.!

After two rides which saw us arrive late and dark passing through C6, I decided to have my own lamps at the bikes. It is a safety move.  I punctured my tires during the Tagaytay ride.   I was uncomfortable just riding behind the beam of somebody elses flashlight.

I tried to evaluate the available flashlights:

1.  Richard Ang's flashlight cost P450.00 with mount, excluding the AAA batteries which should set you back by Php 100.00++ and this lasts up to 3 hours at most.

2.  The Cat Eye halogen lamp. This cost P1,500, uses halogen lamp and uses 4 AA batteries.  My it is expensive to maintain.   I gave up on the one I bought. I have to own a battery store/factory to keep up with its maintenance.

3.  VMs Led lamp with a rechargeable battery cost P2,000.00.

4.  The Chinese made LED flashlight that are rechargeable.  It does not need battery, and one charge is good for  10 hours of use.   The 4 LED costs P69.00 (what a price) and the one that I just acquired only P45.00 with one LED.  Surprisingly, this brighter.

All you have to do is to mount this as per this You Tube video/post.

And above is the finished product.  All for less than P100.00  (P72.00) to be exact:

P45.00 flashlight
P23.00 stainless steel  pipe clamp
P4.00 for cable tie clamp.

Improvised LED bike lamp

Wheels of Happiness

Angono, Rizal, Philippines   |  December 6, 2013




Last Sunday early departure and late arrival last Sunday last December 1, 2013 on our bike ride to Ternate made me realize that I should have a bike lamp.  I did have.  But the cheap one did not last long and was not bright enough to lamp the road ahead.  And the lamp had such a short life.  I bought a Cat Eye and set me back by l,500 and it too consumed a lot of batteries.  It needed four batteries and which lasted for probably just 4 hours.
Based on my post on cheap bike light mounts, , lamps, I made an LED flashlight installation myself.  It cost me:


LEd flashlight   -   China made, rechargeable, with 4 LED  -  range l50 meters       -    P69.00

Hose clamp   1"                                                                                                                  23.00

Cable ties (2) x P5.00 each                                                                                                10.00

Total                                                                                                                                 102.00

vs P450.00 with mounting by Richard.  I used cable ties to wrap around the flashlight;   I used the hose clamp to attach to the bike handle bar.
