Ha, when I read "Blaze Burner Light" I thought of this recent xkcd comic:
Could also apply to "Those too-bright lights"

Back light looks remarkably good, and isn't unusably bright.
Backed...

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.

I'm relying on a bodge being possible for rack mounting...

Looks good but not Carradice compatible so with regret, I'm out.

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.
This sentence caught my eye though:
"Unreliable, dim and unsafe bike lights on a budget are now a thing of the past."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.

Thorough testing on cobbles is all very well but I've managed to shake loose things fastened with forces much stronger than magnetism.

I don't think I need a blaze burner light. 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.

@Min don't forget the Knog Blinder front light, with guarantee from Ronseal.

Am I mistaken, or does the video excerpt showing the light being attached show a white light being attached to the seat post as a rear light?.....
If so there could be a market amongst a certain cohort of "cyclists" around Edinburgh (don't think at the price it will crack the Ninja market however!)! :-)

Part of me wants to ask you if that is a real thing. A bigger part of me already knows it is. :-o

I'd want to test the sensor which switches it on/off according to light levels. 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.

Ended up drafting an article about it last night, if anyone's bored over lunchtime...
