I use one I picked up at Cabela's a few years back, it runs on a few AAA batteries. It will work O-K for you to see around the snowblower, but loses its effect quickly beyond about 15 feet. They work great and help hold my hat on in a wind-blizzard, so I will still wear it when running the new machine at night, even though I'm installing the accesory light Honda sells for the machine, plus a few improvements of my own. I have a busy, make that well ploughed highway in front of my home, so I want to be seen as those usually two or three tandem ploughs come rumbling along and heap up the salt laden snow at the driveway apron. I always add a few reflectors on 3M reflective to the machine too, in case it 'conks-out' , which was a common occurrence with the old friction wheel drive. Now that I have a new Honda without the friction wheel, I should be less in need of such precautions.
