Magicshine Seemee 200 rear light

[GeekDadZoid]

Ive been trying to find a solution for my Super Galaxy so I can run a decent rear light whilst also running a saddlebag.

I have just been fastening a light to the bag, but it's not very satisfactory and all the mudguard mounted options are either replaceable battery or dynamo.

After some extensive research the mounting options for the magicshine rear lights seemed to have the most opportunities to modify them. Here is the initial result, I think long term I could design a 3d printed version with better mounting to the guard but for now this is perfect.

Had it's first trial run including some pretty bumpy stuff and it didn't budge. Seems to be nice and bright and the sleep mode when you stop for an extended time is great.

Thought it was worth posting as an option for people.

Can't really see the bracket you made. Can you take better pics with the light off

I realised that. I'll take a picture tomorrow.

I didn't actually make it, I just bodged the one if came with.

Who knows or cares. Can't find anything that does the same without requiring a pannier rack.

Chased to the end of the earth as only a cycle tourer can; slowly and with lots of tea breaks.

@GeekDadZoid thought I’d share my solution for fitting lights to a saddle bag . Ok not elegant but it works. Yes it is a section of handle bar , I did buy some aluminium tubing for another bag .

Here are a few pictures. Cable ties where the answer. Seems solid.

I like that solution, I have two three different bags I use depending on the ride type so wanted something bike mounted. But I might do that for my add on lights.

Thanks . The difference your idea is well designed and executed ,mine was a quick bodge . Although after 20 years I haven’t come up with a better solution . I did need to use front light brackets when using Smart or Cateye rear lights.

these two robust specimens are welcome to chase me and give me a good beasting. nothing like a hefty lass in a temper.

Nice and visible from the rear. I usually run a second blinky light on the bag and one on my helmet.
