Pet peeve rant warning:
Most LED taillights are highly directional, and as such, they need to be
mounted rigidly and aimed correctly "back down the road" to be most
effective.Personally, I think that bag makers should stop putting light loops
on floppy bags, as they give the rider a false sense of security, thinking
their taillight will make them seen from behind, when in fact, their taillight
is usually pointing at a spot on the ground 2m behind the bike or somewhere to
the left of the moon...not at the cars behind them.
Please mount taillights rigidly to your frame, saddle rails, fender, or rack!

Thank you for all the replies. I would like a SON rear light that's always on,
and a secondary light. But, I dont have much room to mount a battery powered
one. I was looking for some kind of hanging light to attach to my North Street
trunk sack. The only hanging light I can find is.... Well google "hanging bike
light" if you'd like.
Anyways, does any one know of a hanging light to attach to a bag?

I have a SON28, Edelux 2, and the SON rear light mounted on the backside of a
Brooks. I don't feel totally safe with just the SON tail light, it's great that
it's there, but I def. augment it with something much much stronger, namely a
Diontte. I've been knocked off my bike three times in Philly, once I started to
ride with a Dinotte, people def. could see me. The SON is cute, and it's nice
to always have something on, but it's easy enough to overlook from a driver's
point of view, and I'm not totally in love with the extra wiring going the rear
of the bike. if I had this system built out again, I'd just go with a high-end
battery-powered light, the Diontte is a game-changer in you have to ride in
heavy traffic day or night.

I have two bikes with dynamos one has a B&M top light small but the best
solution I’ve found is the B&M taillight built into my Curana C Lite. I like
the fender solution so much that that the bike with the top lite will get C
Lite fenders simply for the ease and cleanliness.

Good day Sean,
I know that this isn’t the answer to your question but both my local bike shop
and Rivendell stated, this fall (as I built up my own dyno Riv) that for a lot
of people, dyno rear lights might be more trouble than they’re worth.
I ended up with a Cygolight HotRod, based on recommendation.
Nice and bright.
Team, please feel free to tell us we’re soft here by only going dyno in the
front…

Hello!
I currently have a SONdelux Wide-Body hub with a SON Edelux II headlightand was
wanting to get a taillight as well. Does anyone have experience with the SON
Rear Light? If so, how bright is it and what system are you using it on? I cant
find many reviews online, so thought I'd ask y'all.
Thanks!
