A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

Bike lights (self.buyitforlife)

Any recommendations for bike lights? They all seem to come with non-replaceable internal rechargable batteries these days ๐Ÿ˜ข

I'd sooner invest in a set of lights that stand out more than a set of lights with replaceable batteries.

For daylight usage the Exposure Lights Trace and TraceR set are amazing. But yeah, non-replaceable...

Great at night too. I only have to change them every month or so on their lowest brightness, which is very very visible at night.
