Any recommendations for cheap, not overly bright LED HAWs with high impact lenses?

I've become an avid airsofter over the past couple of years, and I'm looking for a better option for a "kill light". Airsofters currently have 3 options when hit by a BB and walking to the respawn area: hands up, gun up, and hope people get the message; use a red rag, usually draped over the head or shoulder, to indicate they are hit, or a red light. The red lights work best indoors, but there aren't a lot of options out there for something visible from all directions. Many players put them on the front of their gear, which does absolutely nothing when walking away from the play area.

I'm looking at attaching a pair of cheap, dim, LED HAWs to the front and rear of my gear, with a small battery pack and an easily accessible switch. They need to withstand the impact of a BB on the rare occasions I'm the shootee instead of the shooter. Any recommendations?

I think you finally found a GOOD use for those.. lol I've had them and didn't want to put them on cars. They are bright but such a small footprint.

Do you have any pictures of the wiring? Is it just centered on the rear?
