One downside to the Small is that it does not have a reflector. And does it
have a standlight? I think that it does not*; it has been a while since I
used one. At any rate, I replaced mine with the Platonic archetype of all
earthly dynamo rear lights, the B&M Toplight Line Plus that has both
standlight and reflector.

I still have my Small with added bracket and reflector as provided by Peter
White. If anyone wants it, it is yours for free, shipping included, though
you may have to be very patient. Also, while I think there is plenty of
wire left to splice it into your own system, I did cut the wires when I
removed it for the Line Plus.

* About the Small and standlight: I see to recall that mine did not remain
lit when I came to a stop, this despite my early-edition K-Lite having a 2
hour standlight (dim after 10 minutes, but man, long, with separate
capacitor the size of a package of playing cards). BUT! When I replaced the
Small with the Line Plus upon replacing the dead K-Light with an IQ XL, I
found that the Small’s standlight didn’t work if you had the power and
ground wires improperly plugged in — not a problem with an Edeluxe 1 or
other dynolights I’ve used, IIRC. Upshot: Perhaps the Small does have a
standlight, only your have to make sure your wires are in the right place.
