Looks good to me....I like it.

I like that, but it would be obscured by any luggage on the rack.

It would look good on the rear of my trailers though. May need to look into that.

Its certainly a good idea my only downside is, how do you swap batteries....does the post have to come out do do that?

 

[TheDoctor]

Looks good!

I quite like that. It looks like a standard Kalloy / Uno / Raleigh seatpost (nothing wrong with that). The problem is the price - at £43 it's double the cost of a seatpost and lamp bought separately and I suspect the light in the post wouldn't be as good as stand-alone lamp.

I'd buy one as a back-up if the price was significantly less.

(Edit - it'd be no good if using a seat-pack attached to the saddle rails).

Do they make a Ti version?

Like the idea .......... just as long as it proved a bit more durable than the "normal" add-ons (I have no idea how many lights I have - I've got loads stored in a cardboard box ; all bust)

I like that, but it would be obscured by any luggage on the rack.

Also, it assumes a certain amount of seat post clear of the seat tube. I don't have anything like that much showing on any of my bikes. Oh, except the Brom.

Easier to just bung on a couple of backup lights (the sort with elastic fixings that fit any tube) - available for a few quid for a front and rear pair. Or a rear light from the poundshop....

I've got a string of red Xmas tree lights from the poundshop, running off a couple of AA's, which could probably be adapted into a tube....

A Cannondale is a "vintage cycling gem" **feeling ancient**

Didn't know you had a Brompton, Arch

Me no likey, for the same reasons as mentioned above. I'd much rather a rear light that can be seen from any angle so it can be easily fitted to any type of saddle bag

And a Flite Ti is 'retro' On the positive side, I'm sure I've got a couple of those in my garage, at £55 they might be on Ebay soon!

 

[Fab Foodie]

Not.
Obscured by luggage/seatpack, has to have x amount of post exposed and probably not as bright as a £12 1Watt Smart.

I think it's a bit RED for you ....

I'm sure it'll appeal to certain cyclists, who can't bear the extra 'clutter' of a rear light, and who have money to spend. Personally, I prefer lights I can transfer from bike to bike easily, and attach to any part of the bike or any pannier/bag/coat...

(Hence, I love the little LEDs that attach with rubber or elastic loops. Very very versatile.)
