Are you planning on contacting the US companies to see if they would provide a groups such as yours a discount?

Thank you all for your help! I'll contact these companies to see if they give dealer discounts--does anyone know of any manufacturers who sell relatively inexpensive lights? (in the $10 range?)

Hi Mary-Catherine, It may be worthwhile to take a trip to your local 3D print shop in Burlington (http://www.blu-bin.com/) to explore what they could manufacture. Chances are that Local Motion will still have to purchase LED bulbs or flashlights with LED bulbs that are manufactured by subsidiaries in other countries, as is usually the case with the awesome LEDs that Cree, Inc. (Durham, NC) designs and manufacturers. -Jonathan On 12/02/2014 02:49 PM, Mary-Catherine Graziano wrote:Hi all, We have a federal grant to support our bike safety gear outreach, BUT, they only allow you to purchase items that are made in America (which is laudable, but also surprisingly difficult). Does anyone know of any manufacturers? Thanks!!
