I do understand where the OP getting at. I haven't been on a trail or dirt trail in a while, but had been commented for bright blinking tail light out on the street. I mod my rack such that my tail light is higher than my seat at waist level. This lady takes the same train as I do and she's sometime right behind at the light when her husband drives her to the station. They like the light but noted it glares at them a lot when waiting behind me. I then tilted it down a little and they pulled up behind me in their white passenger sedan and all I saw was their white hood blinking with the reflection of my red tailight.
1000 lumen helmet light? Wow, I can use that at the dirt trail.

MG lights, are they flashlights similar to a Magicshine's output? I bought a Magicshine headlight to lend to a friend to get them to go riding with me more often and I just ordered a similar output flashlight from dealextreme that hasn't arrived yet. I bought a Magicshine taillight several months ago too and that is really bright, but I have yet to actually use it as I find the Superflashes to be enough. I started night riding in the early 90's with a 30 halogen light and also had a couple Vistalite 15 watt and 10 watt lights. Then progressed to 2 Niterider HIDs which were nice, but the newer LED lights put those HIDs to shame now. I feel almost ashamed to say that I have two Lupine lights as their cost is ridiculous, but they have been perfectly wonderful in every way so I am happy with them.
