I just got the last rear light, I wanted 2 but they only had one so I 
figured I’d try a front as well.  Thanks for the update Ray.

 Blue Lug recently advertised these KOMA lights that they are selling on 
 the global site: 
 https://global.bluelug.com/bl-select-koma-light-rear-black.html

 I really appreciate the simple design and the concept. I've found that 
 most bike tail lights attach to the seatpost. This doesn't work for me 
 most 
 of the time because I like to use a saddle bag that would cover the light. 
 I know they also make clip-on lights that can attach to the saddle bag, 
 but 
 I also don't love this solution because I've found that the angle of the 
 light can change pretty easily without a more fixed point and doesn't 
 always direct the light the way you might want. 

 Anyway, the BL light looks great to me but the shipping cost is just 
 too much to stomach. If anyone knows of other vendors that sell these I'd 
 love to find them, but I suspect these are made specifically for BL as my 
 searching hasn't returned them anywhere else. I was wondering if any of 
 you 
 knew of something similar or if you've found another solution?

 Thanks!
 Ray

Sorry. I forgot to leave an update here. I did finally hear back from 
Jintensha (it seems my email initially filed to their spam folder for some 
reason) and they let me know that they don't currently have any of the 
Kiley lights in stock. I just ordered from the site that Nikko linked. 
Thank, Nikko!

Shipping is more than the light.  Where are they shipping from? $30+ for
shipping 1 light

I've purchased a couple from Blue Lug and they're great lights but shipping 
is a lot. Ultraromance's webstore   has had these 
lights available there in the past shipping from CT I believe, but it looks 
like he's currently out of stock. Might be worth emailing him or messaging 
him on Instagram to see if he's going to restock anytime soon?
