They make the same thing in red for the rear.

It's from China (what isn't? ) so the language of the listing title is a bit flawed.

It's a headlight...
No, the picture shows the "tail light" on the seatpost, facing away from the handlebars, so they are marketing it as a tail light.

I agree with the endorsement for Cygolite. These products are made in the USA, if that counts. The mount is solid. I don't know if other brands have the "steady flash" feature, but it seems pretty useful.

I bought a Cygolite Streak 350 last week. It seems to be a new model. So far, so good, but I think someone riding in the oncoming direction was telling me I had it aimed too high. I have to learn how to use it. It has a round beam, which is less than ideal but normal for lights in the US market. Grr.

I prefer dynamo powered lights and use them most of the time. I got this battery powered light for my road racing bike. Dynamo powered lights are really good.
