I saw one the other night, and I'm trying to find out whrere I can get one. It cycled slowly through the colors- red, yellow, blue green, magenta, and also randomly gave multiple combinations. It was subtle, but very effective.
Could it have been a home-made geek light, or has anyone seen anything similar to what I am describing?

I've seen them around but never thought they were particularly noticeable and certainly not bright; DX has these: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/6-mode-9-led-multicolored-safety-bike-tail-light-with-mount-2-x-aaa-82195 which are multicolored.

Note that in some places it can be illegal for non emergency vehicles to use blue lights.

I saw a green rear light in France, thought that was pretty silly. The person also had a red rear light. France doesn't allow blinkies, so I have no idea if it changed colors.

That looks like the one. Thanks!

Be careful with these. Anything other than white on the front and red on the back can confuse car drivers. And green or blue may be illegal in some areas (except on emergency vehicles).
