urbanvelo.orgI love mine too. I think it's the best taillight on the market. Incredibly bright. No idea what that guy is talking about re: the bracket. It's perfectly secure. I have mine mounted to the optional rack mount from PDW. http://i.imgur.com/XpPll.jpg

Your bike looks great. I'm drooling over that saddle bag.

Thanks!

Big fan of PDW's products. A bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

+1, it's a great light. I've got two.

That guy needs better rechargeable batteries. I can go for 2 weeks on one charge with about 45-60 minutes run time a day M-F. I've never actually completely depleted my batteries, so I don't know how long it can actually run. I charge them just to make sure they're good to go.

This is my fav taillight for the past three years.

I love mine, bright, easy to mount, great battery life. Picked it up new on eBay for $20 shipped. I would definitely recommend it.

First hand experience I love mine. Super bright and the settings are great, alot different than most of the other tail lights on the market and well worth the price.
I concur. Mine is super bright and I really like the varied blink pattern that switches between fast and slow blinks.
I exclusively run mine on that setting. And knowing that pattern as a Danger Zone I can spot other DZ owners from a mile away. (literally I spotted a DZ owner a mile away, pedaled like hell to catch up to them and they did indeed have a Danger Zone.
I run mine exclusively on that pattern as well. Its' a great light. I have a secondary bontrager light that I have attached to my bag, so if someone doesn't see me with that set-up, then I didn't have a chance to begin with.
Definitely getting one!
Do, they are awesome!
If you need a headlight I run the Cosmic Dreadnought 110 from PDW. It's plenty bright, but sometimes I feel as though the beam is not wide enough.
I'm currently running a Magicshine MJ-838 as a headlight which is more than adequate for commuting, and was weighing up whether to get this or the Magicshine MJ-818 (as I could use a splitter cable on the battery pack to charge both front and rear lights).
