Recommendations for LED wheel lights, please

[Jeremy McCreary]

Looking for some reasonably priced LED wheel lights for an ebike-borne color-mixing experiment. Desired features:

o Decent quality
o Quick to install and remove
o Capable of more than one color, but only one color at a time
o Manual color selection (no automatic color changes)
o Rechargeable batteries (happy to use NiMH AAs or AAAs)

Only lights you've actually used, please. @PedalUma , you could well be our resident expert.

Plan to use 2-3 sets per wheel. This video of one of my better LEGO blacklight tops will give you an idea of some of the color-mixing effects I'm after...

Thanks!

I don't recall asking for your approval.

I dont think there are any. monkey lights were great well built regular or a rechargeable battery pack. but they went out of business. I had the lowest end one as it was automatic. would turn on only when dark and the bike was moving. then would flash red when thee battery was low. otherwise I would forget to turn them on. so far I have not sen anything thats quality or thats automatic. I had their best one but I kept forgetting to turn it on.

@Jeremy McCreary,
These are the ones I purchased. They do not meet all of your requirements but I am sure that there are some similar ones that do. These ones automatically shift colors about every six seconds. The battery pack attaches to the hub with an O-ring. For those with hub-drives, a length of surgical tubing with a notch in each end would work.

Spoke lacing patterns put a more open section on the rim at the valve for access. Run the wire from the hub down one of those spokes at the valve. If using two, run the other to the rim opposite the valve. But do them one at a time. Then weave the lights between the spokes. The wires are delicate. I somehow broke one and had to solder it. I think that was the day I rode across a field of adobe mud.
