Pole lights seen half mile away!

I bought 2 Ascentale Bike Beam Lights. They were designed for upright bikes. I was not sure how or where I could mount them on my recumbent trike. Here is my solution.

I was so impressed with the results that I called the police (non-emergency) after midnight, on the way home from work, and said "You have to see my this, my new bike lights are amazing." They came, they said the could see me riding away from them from several blocks away. The people that become police need good things to balance out the bad that is their employment.

(edit) I used cut up inner tubes wrapped around my bike seat frame to mount the light bar mount because the clamp was too big for my bike frame. And I found a short metal pipe the hardware store that was the closest fit between the bottom of the bike light fiberglass pole and the light mount bar. I cut the metal pipe in half and smoothed out the rough cut edge. I used the smallest hose clamps I have to clamp on to the bottom and top of the metal pipes to keep them from coming out of the light mount pole. I used hose clamps on the bottom of the bike light fiberglass poles to keep the bike light in the metal pipe. This all SOUNDS COMPLICATED. My picture in the my reply makes it look EASY.

(2nd edit) I wrapped electrical tape around the bottom of the bike light fiberglass pole to make it a snug fit inside the metal pipe.

Thinking about it, and planning, and re-adjusting my plans took most of a day. Putting it all together, from start to finish, took about 90 minutes.

Battery life - 2 hours, specifically, 4 days, 30 minutes each day. And the batteries are not like I've seen before, they have a male USB A connection on the top end and two contact pads on the bottom end.

The manufacturer is one guy, definitely cottage industry. He started making them to feel safe about his little kids riding with him at night. And, he says they are definitely in development - beta versions. They get treated pretty roughly by me - they get caught on the low ceiling of my shed when I take my trike out to go to work every day. The pole lights are at the same angle as the orange sticks used to be, I'm going to change the angle soon so they don't catch on my shed when I take my trike out.
