ABSTRACT:
A fluorescent light device for bicycles and other recreational uses comprising a standard fluorescent bulb disposed within a plastic tube and maintained in spaced relationship with the interior walls of said tube by resilient spacers. End caps are adhesively bonded to the tube ends to maintain the assembly in an integral condition. The fluorescent bulb is fired by an ac voltage derived from either an alternator or a battery/inverter combination. A step-up transformer is connected between the alternator and the bulb to achieve firing potential. A tuning capacitor is connected between the transformer secondary winding and the bulb to maximize electrical energy transmission. A short bulb/tube device is adapted for use in combination with a flag having an integral sleeve which fits over the bulb.
