Does anyone know where I can find Rite-Lite tip-up lights?

Good luck. I don't believe they've been made for a dozen years or so.

I see some guy is trying to sell one on eBay $38. They can’t be worth that much.

They are to the guy that's "gotta have" one. I'd be hard pressed to think anyone's gonna pay that but I'll bet there's someone looking for one that's willing to pay beyond "reasonable" for personal reasons. Three have sold for between $13.88 and $25.75 plus a NOS pair went for an "Accepted Offer" of less than the $37 asking all since January 24 this year. That suggests $15 - $20 is the going rate.

I know a guy that's got a handful of 'em and still uses 'em. I think there's much better options for functional tipup lights these days.  Keep your eyes peeled at flea markets and rummage and you may luck into a couple or so. Maybe one/some in your price range will pop up on fleaBay too.

Maybe it’s time for me to move on and get something newer. I have a few of them but need a couple more lights. Here’s the thing... they all have to match. I know it’s not logical but it would bother the hell out of me to have mismatched lights.

What are guys using these days? I think the pager/light combos are cool but they are not $35 each cool. LOL!

Thanks!
