Even more lights!!

The discussion on todays' ride was: what is a ridiculous amount of lights (on a bike) called.
There were several suggestions, the best of which were, a flood of lights, a luminance of lights and a bright of lights. Any more suggestions gratefully received and considered and the result will be made known to all and sundry!
The ride today over the Pentland Hills had to be abandoned due to too much deep soft wet snow, at least that's what I'm saying , some others I know wanted to continue on foot pushing their bikes, not an option as far as I was concerned!
We did however manage to rack up 41 miles with a trip that took us round Gladhouse reservoir on some of the many back roads of Midlothian.
The picture above shows two of the bikes with
their array of lights, between the three of us
counting helmet lights and rear lights we had
eighteen of the damn things!!

it was luminescence of light

and you started giving excuses for not going over the Pentlands whilst we were still on the road. Probably was for the best.

A glare of lights.
A dazzle of lights.
A blinding of lights!
