Two lights I'm considering are:
- Cat Eye TL-LD1100
- Cat Eye Reflex
I'm also thinking about adding a PDW Fenderbot, but that has limited off-axis visibility.
Do you mean the 140L? ...this one?
I...am not sure it would be possible to find a wider angle tail light, lol...
I'm totally serious when I say that if you want more side visibility, I would suggest mounting a regular tail light sideways so it's pointing out in the direction you want visibility. Just my thoughts.
Dinotte now has another, self-contained tail light as well fyi -

Actually, I had this happen to me as well until I figured it out. Here's a picture of the kit -
You see those rubber rings/bands? The problem is that one is actually smaller than the other. If you get them mixed up (like I did) and put the larger one on the seatpost, it's close enough that it appears the right size but the mount will be all wobbly. When I switched the smaller one to be the one on the seatpost, I no longer had any wobble problems any more.
