This thing looks awesome... I'd like to install one on my BMX bike, but I do not ride much at all during the night.
How visible are the images during the day? Does the color make much of a difference?
I also saw that BMX would use 22 LEDs. Are there two kits, one with 30 and the other with 22?

What if I used an image with a lot of light but not too much detail... for example the biohazard one? Then would it be visible at all during the day? Enough to make out the shape/design and everything?
Hm.. perhaps I'll just have to bike at night more... but I really want to try this thing out.
edit: is there a video archive somewhere?

What color would you recommend then? It seems my choice is between Yellow and Red right now for my BMX bike. Which one would be brighter during the day?
Can't wait to order and install. I'll be sure to post pics.
edit: If I added a 3rd battery for my red or yellow lights, would it make them brighter at all, or would I be giving the LEDs too much power?
