Florida Bicycling Laws: Lighting
*Lighting Equipment [§§316.2065(7)]
A bicycle in use between sunset and sunrise shall be equipped with a lamp on the front exhibiting a white light visible from 500 feet to the front and a lamp and reflector on the rear each exhibiting a red light visible from a distance of 600 feet to the rear. A bicycle or its rider may be equipped with lights or reflectors in addition to those required. The risk of fatal or incapacitating injury increases sharply at night. Moderately priced bike lights cost far less than a trip to the emergency room and bicycle replacement or repair.
