Too bright front lights in another thread reminded me I've seen a handful of rear lights recently which I regard as too dim.
I suspect I may have one, an otherwise neat little Lezyne light which has a reflector about the size of a 2p piece.
It's hard to judge, short of propping the bike up in the dark somewhere and legging it back down the road to have a look.
The rectangular Busch and Muller lights on my ebikes have a bigger reflector and probably do the job.
On t'other hand, a rear light can be too bright just as a front one can.
What are your thoughts on the brightness of rear lights?
