Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Michel Gagnon

Commercial Stuff
Anyone has compared the generator-powered tailllights like the Busch & Müller DToplight XS Plus or the Supernova taillight to see how they compare to the Planet Bike Superflash, for instance?
Modifying Commercial Stuff
There is actually one other project that would tempt me: modifying two Superflashes so they work in series, and then powering them from a generator. I happen to have extra lights, so the cost would be minimal. My only stumbling block is that I'm not sure how to go around the switch.
Making My Own Taillight
Finally, what if I were to make my own. What LED is used in the Superflash? I'm tempted to mount two red 0,5 W "floodlight" LEDs and make my own wired taillight. I know it won't be flashing, but now, I'll truly be able to have headlight and taillight at all times.
