Well, I am not happy with it. No instructions and sometimes it turns on, sometimes it does not. Not really a safety device one wants on a long tour. Started looking at the big names and it seems the biggest name in rack mounted lights is Busch-Muller.
Any thoughts or impressions with this brand?



I use a Busch & Müller rack mount tail light like this one. https://www.amazon.com/light-Battery...176616&sr=8-23

I also have a Superflash mounted on the seat post, but I love the big rack mounted light.

You may also be able to simply replace the lens. https://www.amazon.com/Müller-Toplig...176843&sr=8-36
