I'm trying to find after market lighting front and rear for my new Invacare TDX3. Either I don't know how to word my google search, or I'm doing something else wrong.
I'm NOT asking you to point me to any specific company and then raise hell if they don't work right, I just need HELP. I am extremely active, and I believe I have a right to be able to be outside after dark despite the fact that even the Veterans Administration can't supply lights on a chair.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your question. I tried a Google search for "lighting for wheelchair" and came up with a good list of results.

One of which was from 21st Century Scientific, Inc. They offer what looks like a pretty good lighting package for power wheelchairs. This package offers a 24 volt 50 watt 5000CP sealed headlamp mounted in a rubber casing, and a switch box that can be mounted on your chair to support one or two headlamps and a taillight. It looks like you have the option to purchase multiple dual headlights if necessary as well.

I've never used or heard of 21st Century Scientific, Inc., before, but they could have what you're looking for.

It looks like they're located in Indiana, and can be reached via phone toll free at: 1-800-448-3680.

Does anyone else have any leads for Mark on lighting for his wheelchair?

I worked with a guy who had these LED wheels and he told me that he gto them from a skateboard shop. Do a search on 'skateboard wheels LED' and you should be able to find them.
