The battery is proprietary but replaceable and under 10$. The light is $125 on Amazon but I'm sure you can get it under 100 somewhere from Europe.

Proprietary battery to me no better than internal battery. Needs to be AA (or AAA), 18650, or 14500.

On second thought, since it's cheap and rack mountable, AA, and built in reflector maybe I'll get that Serfas just for the heck of it, and maybe add on the Zebralight I mentioned earlier for added punch, and a 100+ lumen strobe for daylight.

And then if I get some free time, maybe I'll just fabricate my own taillight, since I know the technology is out there, just that manufacturers aren't attempting to make what I am looking for. Maybe a winter project for next year.
