I'm not sure why MEC won't ship this particular product to the US... they will ship other stuff: http://www.mec.ca/Main/content_text....4302887359#usa

Here's a recent thread about taillights that includes discussion on the Radbot 1000 vs. PB Super Flash: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ght-Suggestion

And here's a video comparison (Super Flash on left, Radbot 1000 on right):

PDW claims to have addressed this issue, but I guess I will give it your "jolt" test when I go to MEC to find out for myself. If it fails I will buy another Super Flash for the same price since I'm pretty happy with the one I have.
