Would you prefer your e-bike LEDs powered by a small separate battery, or wired directly into the main bike battery?

Option A: A small dedicated battery pack just for the LED neon strips.
• No wiring into your bike
• Super easy install
• Needs charging separately
• Compatibility with every bike
• Slightly more bulk

Option B: A wired-in LED system that runs directly from your 48–72V main battery.
• Cleaner look
• Never needs separate charging
• Slightly more install work
• Needs inline fuse + voltage regulator
• More “permanent” modification

For YOU personally, which option is better — and why?

And what bike do you ride?

I’m trying to build something that works for as many riders as possible, so any feedback helps.
Thanks!
