Be careful to aim these lights down, as they don't have shaped beams. If they go into people's faces, it's painful, so don't do it.

I've also been using the Cygolite Hotshot tail light and think highly of it. It's been tough. I hang it by a cloth loop on the back of my toolbag, and it hasn't shown any risk of falling off.
