If it's well positioned that's fine but if it's poorly positioned, other directional light sources could cause it to switch off even in the gloom. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15767#post-204900 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 17:41:46 +0000 Min 204900@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>@Min don't forget the Knog Blinder front light, with guarantee from Ronseal. </em></p> <p>Part of me wants to ask you if that is a real thing.

I might save the money and get some kill-o-zap death socks and some godzilla nuclear blast ray gloves to keep out the winter chill. In other words, I think we may have reached the Bicycle Accessory Event Horizon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15767#post-204883 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 16:24:59 +0000 wingpig 204883@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thorough testing on cobbles is all very well but I've managed to shake loose things fastened with forces much stronger than magnetism. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15767#post-204867 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:29:51 +0000 acsimpson 204867@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm another who mounts their light on a rack or rack pack and don't need another rear light so didn't go for it. The £30 option is now all gone and the next level selling fast.</p> <p>This sentence caught my eye though:<br /> <em>"Unreliable, dim and unsafe bike lights on a budget are now a thing of the past."</em></p> <p>Why they think a £50 rear light counts as budget I'm not sure. In fact I'm not sure there are many more expensive options out there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15767#post-204857 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:44:06 +0000 steveo 204857@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks good but not Carradice compatible so with regret, I'm out. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15767#post-204844 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 12:48:55 +0000 Darkerside 204844@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm relying on a bodge being possible for rack mounting... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15767#post-204840 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 12:26:40 +0000 SRD 204840@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>i was tempted (I'm such a pushover for these things), but it looks like it will only work on a seatpost fitting, which isn't much use on a tandem, or for a short person. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15767#post-204837 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 12:20:22 +0000 Darkerside 204837@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Back light looks remarkably good, and isn't unusably bright.</p> <p>Backed... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15767#post-204832 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 11:51:35 +0000 paulmilne 204832@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ha, when I read "Blaze Burner Light" I thought of this recent xkcd comic:</p> <p><a href="http://xkcd.com/1603/" rel="nofollow">http://xkcd.com/1603/</a></p> <p>Could also apply to "Those too-bright lights" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15767#post-204826 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 11:06:12 +0000 condor2378 204826@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think this has just been launched today so still 100+ early bird backers for £30.
