It's only $16 from Peter White Cycles, who seem to be the only ones in the US that sell this light:

Wow! I really like this tail light! I have a direct link to PeterWhiteCycles.com and that light HERE for anyone who wants to bookmark it or add it to their Amazon wish list like I did (Amazon lets you link to items off of their site which is REALLY handy and also tells sellers that they might want to list it there someday...)

This is a much better option with the cleaner fender mount and the auto on/off version than the Mars 1.0 light I linked above. From now on I'm going to recommend the Spanninga instead to those who buy my Raleigh Restorations (putting a set of lights on craigslist bikes just does not pay in resale).
