I love my MagicShine! Just completed its second full season. Would get another if I could afford it. Everyone raves about Dinotte rear flashers because they are bright enough to use in the daytime... ... well... IMO that means they are likely too bright to use at night. I mean we spend a lot of time talking about how we should behave as cyclists so as not to p.o. the cagers and then go out and assault their eyeballs with the mobile laser light shows that are modern flashers. A flourescent jacket sends way more light back to a cager in a meaningful beam pattern (human shaped) than any amount of dazzle that comes out of a multi-pattern flasher.
