[MENTION=152773]noglider[/MENTION] I think you misunderstood. I already have a good 18650 powered headlamp, I'm looking for a red taillight. And I am a member of Candlepower forums though haven't really been on there for a couple years.

You might also look for a AA powered flashlight with a red LED. There are ways to mount those backwards.
I think the old Danger Zone I have was rated higher than the Planet Bike Superflash, at least when I researched it a few years back I decided on the Danger Zone.

That DiNotte looks good, I'd have to search around to see if I can find one maybe.

I thought about a red flashlight. I have several Zebralights, all 90º head flashlights and with a twofish block can mount any way you can think of. They make a red version, the H502r H502r Red AA Flood Headlamp but it is a reflectorless full flood (bare LED) light so the beam is full flood 120º. Great for covering all angles but low intensity. And using very old XP-E emitter with low efficiency drains a good AA in less than one hour at 100 lumens, or about 2 hours at 60 lumens. Maybe 2 of them would offset the lower intensity of the flood beam (and 60 lumens or less output) but then we're up to $140.
